Aberdeen Research Operation

The Research and Analysis Group has morphed over SURVICE’s history to include expanded roles prior to realigning back to research and development and modeling and simulation with the creation of the Aberdeen Research Operation.  The U.S. Army Research Laboratory Systems Engineering Technical Assistance Group was formed in 2016 after a SURVICE contract award supporting it and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s Weapons and Materials Research Directorate absorbed elements and personnel of the research and analysis group supporting the Weapons and Materials Research Directorate.

The Aberdeen Research Operation encompasses two groups, the longstanding Research and Analysis Group, and the more recently formed U.S. Army Research Laboratory Systems Engineering Technical Assistance Group. Both Groups support various research and development, modeling and simulation, and vulnerability/lethality analyses, methodology development, forensic chemistry, and much more related to vehicle systems survivability, material technologies, protection concepts, and weapon systems lethality.
