Applied Research Laboratories

ARL:UT is a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) and has a long history of excellence in the areas of sonar, GPS, and information science. Since 1945 our laboratories have been dedicated to improving national security through applications of acoustics, electromagnetics, and information sciences. We are one of the largest and oldest research units of the University of Texas at Austin. Mission:?ARL:UT's research spans the spectrum from basic inquiries into the nature of signal and noise fields in acoustics and electromagnetics, to the development of prototype sonar systems for use by the US Navy, to cutting edge independent research such as 3-D cloaking and glaciology.
