  • - [Paul] The Applied Research Laboratory

  • at Penn State University has helped

  • secure our nation for 70 years.

  • When Dr. Walker brought his 100 people here in 1945,

  • our nation was standing down from its largest war ever.

  • The vision, however, was to sustain the culture of

  • innovation and development

  • in order to keep that nation secure.

  • Today, we are challenged as never before,

  • on the sea, in the air, and space, and in cyberspace.

  • Thanks to the men and women at ARL Penn State,

  • we are up to that challenge.

  • - [Voiceover] In 1855, this was set in motion,

  • As the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania chartered one of

  • the nation's first colleges of agricultural sciences.

  • (dramatic music plays)

  • Later in 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed

  • the Morrill Land-Grant Act into law,

  • and turned what was once a school of farming

  • into one of the first land-grant colleges.

  • We were given a mission that shaped this valley,

  • state, and nation into a driving force

  • for education and research.

  • 70 years ago, as over 100 scientists moved their undersea

  • research laboratory from Harvard University to Penn State,

  • the breadth of that mission grew.

  • - [Man on Radio] Maneuver PTI engaged.

  • - [Voiceover] It's about inventing new technologies

  • to defend and strengthen our nation.

  • It's about striving for the excellence

  • our partnerships deserve.

  • It's about collecting some of

  • the brightest minds on the planet.

  • It's about leveraging the resources of

  • one of the world's largest research institutions.

  • It's about helping our partners fulfill their own missions

  • by pioneering new technologies in Autonomy and Robotics,

  • Undersea Systems,

  • Manufacturing Technologies,

  • Advanced Immersive Visualization,

  • Positioning, Navigation, and Timing,

  • Communications and Surveillance,

  • and Data Analytics.

  • It's about innovations that will not only reduce time

  • and cost of production, but offer advances for

  • the ability to repair, strengthen, and extend

  • the service life of our nation's platforms.

  • (jet engine)

  • It's about engineering the future of America.

  • And it's become much more than a mission,

  • it's become who we are.

  • (jet engine)

  • 70 years of research, invention, and applying what we know.

  • The Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State.

  • A Department of Defense

  • university affiliated research center.
