AFRL develops robot for automated aircraft ground refueling
Air Force researchers have developed a robot for automated aircraft ground refueling. The Air Force Research Laboratory's Automated Aircraft Ground Refueling system mock-up simulates performing a refueling test during a demonstration. (Photo courtesy of Dr. Mikel Sawyer)
Robotic package designed to protect vehicle convoys
A military vehicle with a robotic package attached to the front bumper is shown. The robotic package was designed to be used on convoy missions, allowing the driver to maintain situational awareness. Air Force researchers hope the technology will enable vehicle operators to focus less on mechanics of driving and more on looking for potential threats. (U.S. Air Force photo)
Micci
Air Force-supported Microwave Electrothermal Thruster (MET) research that began at Pennsylvania State University may lead to higher performing miniaturized electric propulsion systems for satellites. This would mean improved satellite maneuverability, endurance, fabrication and testing of a space flight ready microwave thruster system. Credit: Frederic Souliez, Penn State University.
Wolf
Renowned physical optics author and AFOSR-supported researcher, Dr. Emil Wolf, received the 2008 Joseph W. Goodman Award for his book, “Introduction to the Theory of Coherence and Polarization of Light,” which set a precedent by providing a unified treatment of coherence and polarization.

JHU
A celebrated electrical and computer engineering professor at Johns Hopkins University is conducting AFOSR-supported research about the “miniaturization” of electronic chips, which would allow for lighter, smaller and faster computers for the Air Force. Dr. Alexander Kaplan, right, professor of electrical and computer engineering and Dr. Sergei Volkov, a postdoctoral fellow at John’s Hopkins University are working together on the research.

Bat-Inspired Flight for MAVs
As part of the 2007 MURI program, researchers from several universities are studying how the biological attributes of flapping and flexible flight demonstrated by birds, bats and insects can improve future MAV systems. This research has led to the creation of engineering models, such as the one illustrated in this graphic. (Image credit: Dr. Wei Shyy, University of Michigan)
New R-Card Characterization (RCC) Tool aids aircraft materials inspection
Air Force researchers partnered with industry to develop the RCC tool, a rugged handheld device that enables maintainers to verify the characteristics of specialty materials beneath the aircraft's protective topcoat, where they are not readily accessible for inspection. (U.S. Air Force photo)
