MISSIONThe mission of the Harry Diamond Laboratories is:(1) To perform research and engineering on systems for detecting, locating, and evaluating targets; for accomplishing safing, arming, and munition control functions; and for providing initiation signals: these systems include, but are not limited to, radio and non-radio proximity fuzes, predictor-computer fuzes, electronic timers, electrically-inLtiated fuzes, and related items.( 2) To perform research and engineering in fluid amplification and fluid-actuated control systems.To perform research and engineering in instrumentation and measurement in support of the above. (4) To perform research and engineering in order to achieve maximum immunity of systems to adverse influences, including countermeasures, nuclear radiation, battlefield conditions, and high-altitude and space environments.
(5)To perform research and engineering on materials, components, and subsystems in support of above. (6) To conduct basic research in the physical sciences in support of the above. (7) To provide consultative services to other Government agencies when requested. (8) To carry out special projects lying within installation competence upon approval by the Director of Research and Development, Army Materiel Command. (9) To maintain a high degree of competence in the application of the physical sciences to the solution of military problems.The findings in this report are not to be construed as an official Department of the Army position.
