# Institute for Advanced Technology **Domain:** Austin Research / Laboratories **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope. UT’s **Institute for Advanced Technology (IAT)** was a separate Army-sponsored research lineage focused on hypervelocity physics, electrodynamics, pulsed power, and electromagnetic launch. It originated as an FFRDC in 1990 and subsequently operated as an Army UARC. The supporting UARC article preserves conflicting transition dates: one Army history gives 1995, another gives 1993; FFRDC decertification is recorded in November 1993. The master addendum’s 1993 shorthand therefore should not erase the unresolved date difference. The early UT chemical-biological countermeasures work places IAT within a wider sensor, medical-response, and communications environment. It remains distinct from Navy-sponsored [[wiki/Applied Research Laboratories at UT Austin|ARL:UT]]. Historical status should be identified by the cited period rather than assumed to continue indefinitely. ## Connected entries [[wiki/University Affiliated Research Center|University Affiliated Research Center]] · [[wiki/National Biological and Chemical Countermeasures Program|National Biological and Chemical Countermeasures Program]] · [[wiki/Environmental Pathogen Surveillance|Environmental Pathogen Surveillance]] · [[wiki/Applied Research Laboratories at UT Austin|Applied Research Laboratories at UT Austin]] · [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|Austin Research Evidence Map]] · [[wiki/Institute for Defense Analyses|Institute for Defense Analyses]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/The Austin Executable Loop|The Austin Executable Loop — master document]] - [[research/UT Austin - The University Affiliated Research Center and ACES|UT Austin - The University Affiliated Research Center and ACES]] - [Kornguth et al. — The Army’s University Affiliated Research Center Chemical/Biological Countermeasures (2002), author-deposited report](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/235107434_The_Army%27s_University_Affiliated_Research_Center_ChemicalBiological_Countermeasures) **Cluster:** [[wiki/Austin Executable Loop|Austin Executable Loop]] · [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|Austin Research Evidence Map]]
