Modeling and Simulations of Active Protection Systems for Combat Vehicles

The Applied Physics Branch of the US Army Research Laboratory is seeking applicants to perform research in Active Protection Systems (APS) for combat vehicles. The program supports two research categories: (1) APS model verification, validation and uncertainty quantification, or artificial intelligence based cooperative protection network for maximum survivability and minimum collateral damages (requiring Ph.D. in applied math, computer science, physics, engineering or related discipline); (2) Sensor modeling, countermeasure modeling, or database management (requiring strong C++ programming skills and/or database design knowledge, with undergraduate junior level or above in engineering, computer science, physics or related discipline). All research is performed at Adelphi Laboratory Center in Maryland through the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP), which is designed to increase involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas relevant to the Army. The program focuses on developing technologies to support Army forces in meeting future operational needs through scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields.
