Book Description
This volume is the fourth annual issue of Research Highlights based on our monthly editions of significant achievements and accomplishments. Although this edition contains a small selection of AFOSR's many research successes in 1995, they are representative of our mission: - to sponsor and sustain basic research - to transfer and transition research results, and - to support Air Force goals of control and maximum utilization of air and space. The highlights provide brief descriptions of AFOSR's research investment accomplishments, examples of technology transfer, and technology insertion. Their purpose is to provide Air Force, DOD, government, and private sector officials interested in science and technology management with brief accounts illustrating how AFOSR supports the Air Force and DOD missions and the national posture in technology. AFOSR's integrated management approach fosters bilateral and multilateral partnerships between Air Force, university and industry researchers and Air Force, defense and commercial industrial customers. Last year, our nearly 2,000 active research tasks spawned more than 413 significant technology or product applications, more than one-half of these encompassed direct transfers to U.S. industry, with military as well as commercial benefits. The diverse and wide-ranging scientific efforts in this volume share the common denominator of quality research. Some of the research highlighted here will find its way into currently deployed Air Force systems; some will not reach maturity until we enter the 21St century. These accomplishments demonstrate how, in consonance with its motto, "Building Partnerships with Excellence and Relevance," AFOSR fulfills its important role as a technology transition broker. With this vision, AFOSR continues to provide the Nation with the basic knowledge for new and advanced technologies to meet the challenges of the future.

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This final technical report contains a summary and highlights of the research funded by the Air Force under AFOSR PRET Grant F49620-96-1-0329, titled "Sensitivity and Adjoint Methods for Design of Aerospace Systems". This research was conducted by the Air Force Center for Optimal Design and Control (CODAC), during the period 1 July 1996 to 31 December 2001. The Center conducts a wide range of research and educational programs, and promotes linkages between Air Force Laboratories, industry and university scientists. The PRET grant focuses on transition through industrial partnerships. During this period, CODAC researchers produced more than 115 scientific papers, made more than 150 presentations at conferences and colloquium and directed more than 20 graduate students and 7 postdocs. The research effort has produced several new computational tools for optimal design and these tools have already been transitioned into commercial software packages. Progress was made on a new sensitivity based method for estimating rotary stability derivatives. A new approach improved the efficiency of automatic differentiation when used in shape optimization. In the area of control, a new computational tool for controller reduction was devised and tested. This tool is based on proper orthogonal decomposition techniques. In addition, this report outlines some of the interactions between CODAC, industrial partners and Air Force facilities.

Applied Mechanics Reviews
One Small Step
Author: A. F. Grandt Jr.
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 1557539146
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Purdue University has played a leading role in providing the engineers who designed, built, tested, and flew the many aircraft and spacecraft that so changed human progress during the 20th century. It is estimated that Purdue has awarded 6% of all BS degrees in aerospace engineering, and 7% of all PhDs in the United States during the past 65 years. The University's alumni have led significant advances in research and development of aerospace technology, have headed major aerospace corporations and government agencies, and have established an amazing record for exploration of space. More than one third of all US manned space flights have had at least one crew member who was a Purdue engineering graduate (including the first and last men to step foot on the moon). The School of Aeronautics & Astronautics was founded as a separate school within the College of Engineering at Purdue University in 1945. The first edition of this book was published in 1995, at the time of the school's 50th anniversary. This corrected and expanded second edition brings the school's illustrious history up to date, and looks to Purdue's future in the sky and in space.

Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Dr. Greg Zacharias, former Chief Scientist of the United States Air Force (2015-18), explores next steps in autonomous systems (AS) development, fielding, and training. Rapid advances in AS development and artificial intelligence (AI) research will change how we think about machines, whether they are individual vehicle platforms or networked enterprises. The payoff will be considerable, affording the US military significant protection for aviators, greater effectiveness in employment, and unlimited opportunities for novel and disruptive concepts of operations. Autonomous Horizons: The Way Forward identifies issues and makes recommendations for the Air Force to take full advantage of this transformational technology.
