Consortium for Adaptive Optics and Image Post-Processing

Abstract

This was an unusual grant in that it s purpose was to improve ongoing basic research and make it more efficient and effective, rather than to actually sponsor research itself. We are pleased to report that this was being achieved. Activity under this grant is resulting in more effective adaptive optics and image post-processing basic research for the Air Force. In particular, it is enabling cross-organizational communication to a larger extent than had been previously underway, and it has fostered hundreds of interactions that would not have occurred otherwise. It is also strengthening the collegial interchanges and scientific cooperation between Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in-house researchers, on-site contractors, university scientists, and industry (primarily small businesses).
