Purpose edit
The organization was formed to share information about facility design, instrumentation development and range operations. The organization holds a yearly meeting, usually at a location near an active test facility. Members are encouraged to present at least one technical paper per meeting.[1]
Student outreach edit
The ARA started a outreach program that intends to promote ballistic research in the early stages of career development. They established a student research paper contest that provided cash stipends at around $1,000 for winners, as well as invitations to ARA meetings to present their papers.[2]
