Electronics
Abstract
Electronics basic research generates and exploits fundamental knowledge and understanding of novel solid-state electronic, sensor, and optoelectronic materials and device implementation schemes vital to advance Air Force operational capabilities in surveillance, information and signal processing, communications, command and control, electronic countermeasures, stealth technologies, and directed energy weapons. Solid-state electronics research discovers and develops new materials, advances processing and fabrication sciences, and develops and implements advanced physical modeling and simulation capabilities essential to evaluate novel electronic, sensor, and optoelectronic structures and device concept implementation schemes. Research stresses high-risk, far-term, game-changing capability breakthroughs essential for future leaps in warfighter system performance, functionality, reliability, and survivability while simultaneously reducing component and system power, size, mass, and life cycle costs.
