Physics
Abstract
Physics basic research seeks to enable revolutionary advances in, and expand the fundamental knowledge of supporting laser technologies, sensing and imaging capabilities, communications and navigational systems, fuels and explosives, and directed energy weapons that are critical to the Air Force. The primary areas of research investigated by this project are laser and optical physics; electro-energetics (includes plasma) physics; atomic, molecular, and particle physics; space sensors and imaging physics; space environment physics; electromagnetics; and applied analysis.
