Research is also an integral part of graduate education, providing graduates with in- depth knowledge, critical thinking skills, and problem solving abilities. At the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), our faculty and students engage in research with the goal of sustaining the technological supremacy of the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Department of Defense (DoD). AFIT maintains active partnerships with our Air Force’s organizations and operational communities as well as the DoD and other federal agencies to maximize the contributions of our research programs to national needs. Our faculty and students also engage in collaborations with researchers at universities throughout the nation to advance the state-of-the-art in a variety of disciplines. AFIT cooperates with commercial enterprises to ensure timely transfer of new technology to US industry through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) whenever appropriate. This Research Report is prepared annually to report on the significant contributions of this institution; to solicit continued involvement and support from our Air Force, DoD, and other federal partners; and to encourage new sponsors to participate in AFIT’s research programs. AFIT welcomes new opportunities to engage in research projects that are of mutual interest to our customers, faculty, and students. Heidi R.
