Air Force Research Lab
Air Force Research Laboratory, with headquarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was created in October 1997. The laboratory was formed through the consolidation of four former Air Force laboratories and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. AFRL’s mission is leading the discovery, development, and integration of affordable warfighting technologies for our air and space forces. AFRL accomplishes this through nine technology directorates located throughout the United States, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and a central staff. AFRL’s partners include the Air Force major commands that operate and maintain the full spectrum of Air Force weapons systems. It is a full-spectrum laboratory, responsible for planning and executing the Air Force’s entire science and technology budget, basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development.
