After a decade-long run of facilitating promising research in support of the future warfighter, the Army’s Network Science Collaborative Technology Alliance is coming to a close. Collaborative Technology and Research Alliances are partnerships between Army laboratories and centers, private industry and academia that are focusing on the rapid transition of innovative technologies to the warfighter to enable the Army’s future force. Leading the way for the NSCTA was the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory, the Army’s corporate laboratory. The objectives of the NSCTA were to create knowledge and a fundamental understanding of interdependency, relations and common underlying science among social-cognitive, information and communication networks; determine how processes in one network affect and are affected by those in other networks; and develop approaches to prediction and control or influencing of the behaviors of these complex interacting networks.
