Air Force Institute of Technology Graduate School of Engineering and Management: Annual Report 2013
Abstract
Seven years ago I chose to come to AFIT because of its outstanding faculty, strong multi-disciplinary collaborations, and the nearly limitless opportunities to contribute to the advancement of educational programs of the US Air Force. AFITs unique research-based, defense-focused education is indispensable to the defense of our nation and extremely valuable to our research partners, who represent government agencies, academia, and industry. Despite the current financial challenges facing the Air Force, AFIT continues to work hard toward improving the efficiencies and effectiveness of a smaller-sized Air Force. As the new dean of AFITs Graduate School of Engineering and Management, I am excited and enthused about the opportunities that lie ahead of us. This year has been an exhilarating one for the Graduate School with faculty and students earning notable recognitions for their research and teaching. The 2013 Annual Report highlights these achievements as well as the unique research efforts of the Center for Space and Research Assurance (CSRA) and the OSD Scientific Test and Analysis Techniques in Test and Evaluation Center of Excellence (STAT T and E COE). On December 5th, 2013 CSRAs CubeSat micro-satellite, AFIT LEO iMESA CNT Experiment (ALICE), was successfully launched into Space. We are also, particularly, proud of CSRAs involvement with students completing research projects that directly align with the Department of Defense (DOD) and Air Force priority areas to solve real problems for the nation. Likewise, the STAT T and E COE continues to provide significant value to the test and evaluation planning efforts for approximately 25 Acquisition Category (ACAT) I programs across the DOD.
