AFOSR: PHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS
Air Force Office of Scientific Research
Physics and Electronics Directorate (NE)
Dr. Patrick Carrick, Director
Research in physics and electronics generates the fundamental knowledge needed to advance Air Force operational capabilities in directed energy weapons; surveillance; electronic countermeasures; guidance and control; information and signal processing; and communications, command, and control. The program is of substantial breadth, extending from plasma and quantum physics, to the understanding of the performance of novel electronic devices, to maintaining device integrity in the harsh environment of space. The program includes theoretical and experimental physics from all disciplines, as well as engineering issues such as those found in microwave or photonic systems or materials-processing techniques. One main objective of the program is to balance innovative science and Air Force relevance, the first element being forward looking and the second being dependent on the current state of the art. This directorate takes particular pride in the strong synergistic ties it has forged between university researchers and those in the Air Force Research Laboratory community.
