The Advanced Radar Research Center (ARRC) is an academic radar program within the United States. Its core mission revolves around the realm of interdisciplinary research, where it researches radar solutions to address a myriad of complex societal challenges. Born in 2005, the ARRC found its roots at the University of Oklahoma (OU), and it now resides within the Radar Innovation Lab (RIL). While its inception was primarily in the pursuit of advancing radar technology for scientific exploration, the ARRC has since broadened its horizons, embracing a diverse array of radar applications and the field of applied electromagnetics.
