The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) mission is to seed scientific and far reaching technological discoveries that enhance Army capabilities. Basic research proposals from educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and private industry are competitively selected and funded. ARO's research mission represents the most long-range Army view for changes in its technology. It is the only Army organization that transcends all of its mission areas: commander-fire support; close combat; air defense; combat support; combat service support; solider support; command, control, and communications. In all respects, the ARO program is the designated organization for the entire spectrum of Army activities extending from research to development to acquisition. ARO priorities fully integrate Army-wide, long-range planning for research, development, and acquisition. The roots of research are in the scientific and engineering disciplines, namely aeronautics, biology, chemistry, electronics, geosciences, mathematics, mechanics, metallurgy, physics, and so on. In all, this CD-ROM has over 15,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable.
