In order to properly delegate these tasks, the laboratory operated under five divisions: Electronic Materials, Power Sources, Industrial Engineering and Development, Microelectronics and Displays, and Microwave and Signal Processing Devices. ETDL generally prioritized furthering technologies related to millimeter wave devices, pulsars, wide-band jamming devices, navigation devices, interactive tactical operation displays, lithium and rechargeable batteries, photonic devices, flat panel displays, acoustic wave devices, and high-speed signal-processing devices. In addition, extensive emphasis was placed on developing new materials for electronic applications.
44:. Throughout its history, the SCL was given various different names as it underwent numerous restructuring efforts by the U.S. Army. By the early 1950s, the SCL was known as the Signal Corps Engineering Laboratories before it was redesignated as the U.S. Army Signal Corps Research and Development Laboratory (ASCRDL) in 1958. That same year, the Institute for Exploratory Research was created to consolidate the ASCRDL's internal research efforts.

During the DoD's VHSIC Program that took place in the 1980s, ETDL was tasked with conducting functional and parametric electrical tests on VHSIC devices. In addition, the lab played an instrumental role in the Microwave/Millimeter Wave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MIMIC) program, serving as one of the lead laboratories.

In 1971, the Electronic Components Laboratory merged with the Institute for Exploratory Research to form the Electronics Technology and Devices Laboratory, which became situated at the Albert J. Myer Center at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.

By 1989, ETDL assembled a formal CRDA in the following areas of research: microelectronics, millimeter wave signal processing, high power semiconductor devices development, magnesium dioxide battery development, high

ETDL was awarded the distinction of “Army
Laboratory of the Year” in 1980 and 1984 as well as “Army Laboratory of Excellence” in 1981 and 1984. By 1985, it consisted of more than 300 personnel and had an annual budget of $ 76.6 million with approximately $ 31 million worth of lab equipment. In 1990,

In 1962, a major Army restructuring program caused the ASCRDL to become a subordinate element of the U.S. Army
Electronics Command (ECOM) known as the U.S. Army Electronics Research and Development Laboratory. The lab was again renamed to the U.S. Army Electronics Laboratories in 1964 only to
