Defense Research Sciences
Abstract
Defense Research Sciences consists of extramural research activities in academia and industry along with in-house research performed in the Air Force Research Laboratory. This program supports basic broad-based scientific and engineering research in areas critical to Department of the Air Force weapon, sensor, and support systems. All research areas are subject to long-range planning and technical review by both DAF and tri-Service scientific planning groups. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Department of Defense (DoD) Science and Technology (S&T) Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver science & technology capabilities. The use of program funds in this PE would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0602102F, 0602201F, 0602202F, 0602203F, 0602204F, 0602602F, 0602605F, 0602788F, 0602298F, and 1206601SF. Funds in this PE may be used to investigate specified science advancements in air, space and/or cyber domains. This program is in Budget Activity 1, Basic Research because this budget activity includes scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs.
