The Sensors Directorate Internship Program is a research internship in a collaborative environment bringing together experts from the U. S. Air Force, universities and industries to address layered sensing modalities, artificial intelligence, aerospace components and sensor components, multispectral exploitation and detection, spectrum warfare and high performance computing to enhance Air Force capabilities. The program typically employs more than 60 interns from the top U.S. research universities to work with accomplished mentors and researchers in a well-equipped scholarly environment.

The Sensors Directorate mission focuses on affordable sensor and countermeasure technologies for reconnaissance, surveillance, precision engagement and electronic warfare systems. Core technology areas include radio frequency and electro-optical sensing, electromagnetic spectrum warfare, multi-domain sensing autonomy, resilient mission systems and enabling devices and components.
