US Army

The ISN is administered for the US Army by the Army Research Office, a part of the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, under the auspices of the US Army Futures Command. More than just a sponsor, the US Army is an important partner in solving the problems of the Soldier. While the ISN's nanotechnology approach is new, scientists at the Army have been working to address Soldiers' challenges—like excess weight and insufficient ballistic protection—for decades. The ISN maintains substantial interactions with many Army science and technology laboratories and centers, including:
DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory
DEVCOM Aviation and Missile Center
DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center
DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center
US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
US Army Institute for Surgical Research (USAISR)
US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)
US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM)
