Expertise & Focus Areas
The primary mission of a UARC is to develop and maintain a set of government-defined core competencies, which frame the expertise and interdisciplinary approaches necessary for tackling the multifaceted challenges of national security. ARLIS’s technical personnel are organized into divisions corresponding to the core competencies, and each division collectively provides the capabilities leveraged in support of the sponsor's mission priorities. In an era where threats are increasingly complex and interconnected, ARLIS’s focus on integrating diverse fields, such as psychology, linguistics, and engineering, enables us to create solutions that address the sociotechnical dimensions of security.
