Control Science Center of Excellence (CoE)

Abstract

The Air Vehicles Directorate formed the Control Science Center of Excellence (CoE) in 1998. The mission of the Control Science CoE is to plan and conduct basic research and exploratory development in advanced control technology to support the Air Force in the 21st century. The CoE develops and transitions air and space vehicle control technology in the areas of flight dynamics, multi variable control theory, adaptive control theory, robust control, control optimization, system identification, and flight and space vehicle simulation and assessment. The Control Theory Optimization Branch was established as a Center of Excellence in recognition of its consistent productivity over the last twenty years and its many fundamental technical contributions to control theory. The CoE has successfully transitioned technology to several operational systems and the scientists and engineers of the CoE have earned recognition from professional associations, universities, and other government and DoD organizations.
