Air Force Research Laboratory Success Stories : A Review of 2004

摘要

2004 was a wonderful and exciting year for the Air Force Research Laboratory. As the individual success stories in this volume will attest, our dedicated and highly skilled men and women, in partnership with industry and academia, consistently delivered on AFRLs mission to lead the discovery, development, and integration of affordable warfighting technologies for our air and space forces. The Air Force, in its quest for war-winning technology for the defense of the nation, expects us to create technology solutions that satisfy gaps in needed warfighting capabilities, rapidly respond to urgent technology needs, and lead the discovery of "game changing" opportunities that result in entirely new capabilities. AFRL demonstrated dramatic achievements in all of these areas during this past year. These pages reflect some of our most noteworthy successes for 2004, yet they represent only a small sample of the ongoing achievements of AFRLs scientists, engineers, and many other talented professionals. An accompanying CD-ROM provides a link to the information showcased in this book along with other AFRL technology areas.
