Reduction in barriers to facilitate collaboration with academia, industry, and small business

Open Campus Initiative

Gates and high walls provide 20th century security, but are

barriers to 21st century innovation

Past: Current Defense Laboratory Model

Defense laboratories relatively unchanged since inception

(NRL 1923)

Present & Future: Open Campus Initiative

An enhanced defense research environment that fosters discovery and innovation through

collaboration on fundamental research

Collaboration between ARL and external scientists

Open areas for researchers and

access to existing facilities

Less bureaucracy

and paperwork

Career path for students

and scientists

Collaborator presence through

EULNovel staff

opportunities

Hub and Spoke Model
