Air Force Funds New Generation of Energy Efficient UAVs
With AFOSR funding, a team from the University of Michigan is working on a project to integrate solar power cheaply and easily into the base materials used to build UAVs. The team is pictured above posing around a customized reel-to-reel coating apparatus they developed for making large quantities of fiber-based energy conversion devices.

2.5 MW electrodynamics generator
AFRL researchers successfully completed a testing experiment with a 2.5 megawatt generator. The power dense generator of 360 lbs was developed at Electrodynamics Associates as part of the Small Business Innovation Research program to develop a generator for the unique requirements of a directed energy weapon system including high power and relatively low duty cycle.

GPS-equipped antijam antennas
AFRL-funded scientist, Dr. Inder J. Gupta, led a team of Ohio State University researchers and conducted both theoretical and practical work that has enabled techniques to estimate and mitigate antenna-caused biases in Global Positioning System receivers equipped with anti-jam antennas or adaptive antennas.
