TAMPA, Fla. (April 4, 2024) – The University of South Florida is broadening its collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense through a formalized agreement with the U.S. Army.

The five-year educational partnership agreement brings together faculty from throughout the university to conduct critical defense research and provide student internships – helping broaden the talent pipeline for future military needs. Adam Rawlett, senior research scientist for the Army Research Laboratory, and Sylvia Thomas, USF vice president for research and innovation, formally signed the agreement on March 26. 

“This new partnership with the U.S. Army Research Lab demonstrates USF’s commitment to research and innovation focused on global and national security,” Thomas said. “It will provide tremendous research opportunities for our faculty and great hands-on learning experiences and workforce development for our students. USF embraces this opportunity to strategically collaborate with ARL experts to strengthen U.S. competitiveness.”

USF researchers will be working with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, known as DEVCOM, Army Research Laboratory. It’s the Army’s foundational research laboratory dedicated to scientific discovery and technological innovation, helping strengthen the armed forces.

“DEVCOM ARL’s educational partnership agreement with the University of South Florida provides a unique opportunity to engage faculty and students to advance ARL’s mission to operationalize science, build a preeminent workforce and transition innovation for the Army,” Rawlett said.

The new partnership will add to the university’s longstanding working relationship with the U.S. Army, which is evidenced by USF researchers conducting 114 Army-funded research projects worth $150 million over two decades. The Laboratory for Autonomy, Control and Information Systems (LACIS) and the Center for Wireless and Microwave Information Systems recently received $3.5 million in funding from the Army Research Lab to lead six projects. They include the development of autonomous control algorithms for unmanned aerial systems, the creation of advanced antenna technology that can change the shape and focus of radio waves in super high frequency range and radar systems that can detect challenging targets.

“This partnership will pave the way for the safe integration of unmanned aerial systems into our national airspace, leveraging cutting-edge autonomous control algorithms,” said Tansel Yucelen, USF associate professor of mechanical engineering and LACIS director, who has led more than $4.5 million in research from Department of Defense agencies.

In addition to USF serving as subject matter experts, Army Research Laboratory will provide USF with cutting-edge laboratory equipment and access to its own advanced research facilities. It will also provide students with internship opportunities through DEVCOM, making them more competitive in securing challenging careers such as in the aerospace and industrial engineering fields.

This agreement will likely grow to become a similar partnership as what USF has with MacDill Air Force Base, where there are multiple projects being conducted over the course of several years.
