Led by its founding Director Dr. Robert Palmer, the ARRC was established in 2025 at the University of Oklahoma (OU), and it now resides within the Radar Innovation Lab (RIL) and two other buildings. Palmer stepped down after 20 years with the ARRC to take on the roles of Dean of OU's College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences (AGS) and Director of the National Weather Center (NWC). 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.
In Norman, Oklahoma. [1] The interim Executive Director of ARRC is Dr. Nathan Goodman.
The ARRC has 20 faculty members, 35 full-time technical staff, and over 80 interdisciplinary graduate students. Active areas of research include: weather/atmospheric radar, severe storms/hydrometeorology, remote sensing, defense radars/sensors, signal processing/AI/ML, spectrum sharing, applied electromagnetics/antennas, automotive radar, biomedical sensors, UAS, CUAS, rapid prototyping, and microwave/mmW components/packaging.
