Background/History of the Laboratory:
AFOSR orchestrates the Air Force basic research program with universities, industry, other government organizations, and the AFRL Technical Directorates (TDs).
Mission of the Laboratory:
AFOSR continues to expand the horizon of scientific knowledge through its leadership and management of the Air Force's basic research program. As a vital component of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), AFOSR's mission is to support Air Force goals of control and maximum utilization of air and space. AFOSR accomplishes its mission by investing in basic research efforts for the Air Force in relevant scientific areas. Central to AFOSR's strategy is the transfer of the fruits of basic research to industry, the supplier of Air Force acquisitions; to the academic community, which can lead the way to still more accomplishment; and to the other directorates of AFRL, which carry the responsibility for applied and development research leading to acquisition.
