The ultimate goal of research in the Army is to improve, through knowledge, the effectiveness of its operational forces. It depends upon contributions from all the scientific disciplines in a mutual effort carried out by in-house scientists and those in the universities and non-profit and industrial organizations of the nation. The growing power of electronics in the solution of a broad class of problems is pointed out, and its relationship to other areas requiring support by the Army is indicated. A distinction between the research and exploratory development programs of the Army is drawn, showing the contract funding levels and relative emphasis among the scientific disciplines. Some characteristics of the transition between the two are expressed. A brief description is given of the Army's organization and management for research, and some selected areas of important electronics research are cited.
