A new Director, George Duchak, joined AFRL/RI in January and in August Maj Gen Thomas Masiello became the new AFRL Commander. In addition to these command changes, AFRL/RI managed the uncertainty of the budget. Despite going through sequestration and being furloughed for more than one work week, the workforce remained dedicated to the mission during these challenging times. While not all goals were able to be met, major steps were made toward reaching them. Although under a hiring freeze, there was success in hiring 29 scientists and engineers prior to the freeze or through exceptions to it. The percent of PhDs has increased to 15%, either from newly hired employees or current employees who completed their PhDs. AFRL/RI also continues to strive to increase diversity through the newly hired employees. While the Total Obligation Authority in FY 2013 did not exceed that of FY 2012, it surpassed all expectations during a year of sequestration and furloughs. AFRL/RI’s budget was $814M in FY 2013, as compared to $903M in FY 2012 and $780M in FY 2011. As evidenced by the funds received, AFRL/RI draws on a broad, growing, and repeat customer base to provide warfighting solutions for the Air Force and the Nation. In addition to government partners, AFRL/RI is reaching out to create an innovative eco-system with partners in the community, academia, industry, and business/financial institutions. AFRL/ RI is also exploring new ways to transfer technology to commercial applications. With continued commitment, the eco-system will continue to grow in FY 2014. AFRL/RI has a strong heritage with over 62 years of innovative technology excellence and is making strides to improve the Command, Control, Communications, Cyber, and Intelligence (C4I) message by increasing customer collaborations and creating a capabilities message. AFRL/ RI takes pride in its accomplishments thus far, while building on existing momentum to realize additional gains in FY 2014.

Mission Vision To explore, prototype and demonstrate high-impact, To lead the Air Force and Nation game changing technologies that enable the Air Force in C4I science, technology, and Nation to maintain its superior technical advantage. research and development.

This cutting edge facility provides a truly unique capability to support real world, outdoor and tactical edge experimentation for Newport Research Site a wide range of AFRL technologies. The first phase of the CCE consists of 25 remote locations, or “pads,” spread across Stockbridge’s 300 acres. These locations provide shelter, power, antenna/towers, and fiber optic/network connectivity to a central building. This infrastructure supports the cost effective, rapid performance of experimentation to support multiple technology areas, including RF communications, networking, cyber, and information. Coupled with flexible frequency approvals/authorizations (DD 1494 process) and small UAS experimental capabilities, the CCE is a cutting edge enabler for R&D in all aspects of DoD technologies. Future phases of the environment will include the creation of a controllable ‘contested’ environment where RF transmissions and receptions can be completely controlled and measured. These capabilities will be used to look at effects of dynamic Stockbridge Research Site Newport Research Site Stockbridge Research Site spectrum access techniques, policy- based routing approaches, and cognitive Capitalizing on a Quiet Electromagnetic Environment and Special Federal network node performance in challenging Communications Commission Permissions environments.

Made On-Site: With precise attention to detail, the AFRL/RI Fabrication Shop is continuously relied upon to remedy a host of situations commonly found in laboratory settings. They build prototypes. They modify and repair. They can extend the useful life of a piece of equipment or turn that piece of equipment into another useful asset. They frequently answer the “refurbish vs. replace” question – all while increasing reliability and/or productivity. Cost effectiveness is a given. Urgency and timeliness are too. These craftsmen are all “on-site”. Their specialized skill sets pull from decades of experience, making this one-stop-shop a “full service solution”. Recent examples of completed projects:

$266,512,432 The Secretary of the Air Force for Financial Management (SAF/FM) specified the methodology for computing the economic impact of an Air Force military installation. This methodology is consistent with that used by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission.

The total economic impact of a military installation on its economic area is the product of annual payroll, annual expenditures, and the estimated annual dollar value of indirect jobs created. The economic area should include residences of the majority of the military and civilian employees at the installation. It is generally defined as a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). 97.5% of the military personnel and 98.2% of the civilian personnel and contractors employed at the Information Directorate (AFRL/RI) make their home in the economic impact area of Oneida, Herkimer, Onondaga, Madison and Oswego counties.

AFRL/RI is proud of the strength of its commitment to the local area. The economic impact of the Information Directorate on the 5 county metropolitan statistical area is largely viewed by members of the community in terms of jobs. In FY 2013, the number of jobs both directly and indirectly linked to the research laboratory was 2,458. The jobs directly associated with AFRL/RI command above average salaries and significant benefits, thus creating the greatest values for the local economy. The indirect jobs are the response by the local economy to the direct jobs. They occur through the re-spending of income received. The income is recirculated through households causing further economic activity. The indirect jobs are created in the areas of services, medical care, police & fire protection, merchandise stores, etc. Associated revenues from sales tax, property tax and income tax also stimulate the local economy.
