Structural Control Research At AFOSR

In the last year, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) has undertaken some bold initiatives to intensify the Air Force Basic Research program in certain areas of science and technology which promise to potentially impact in a major way projected future space systems. This initiative effort has involved the total Basic Research community from the in-house researchers at the participating Air Force laboratories to the extramural players in industry and in academia. Ongoing tasks in a number of areas have been refocussed on issues related to space systems and operations, and critical areas of technology and science have been augmented in funding.
