Information
Advance knowledge is the difference between winning and losing the fight. We lead the world in command, control, communications, computer, cyber and intelligence. These technologies aren’t just for innovation’s sake—they give our warfighters confidence.
COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, COMPUTER, CYBER
The Air Force played a vital role in the computer revolution. AFRL’s research continues to benefit from those pioneering developments in the ever-expanding, ever-changing world of digital calculation.
Success Stories
PALADIN MULTI-MISSION UAS
Paladin is a Group‐2 Low Collateral Effects Interceptor (LCEI) designed to defeat Group 1 & 2 small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) threats.
QUANTUM OPTICAL MICROSCOPE
Quantum-light microscopes provide a unique and versatile tool to accomplish difficult sensing tasks important to the performance of the warfighter.
NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING FOR SPACE
Neuromorphic computing, which draws insights from neuroscience to create chips that function more like the biological brain, aspires to deliver orders of magnitude improvements in energy efficiency, speed of computation and efficiency of learning across a range of edge applications.
CloudWorks
Engineers in the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Information Directorate developed CloudWorks — a standardized infrastructure residing in the government cloud to support rapid automated software development, security testing and delivery to operational users in the Air Force and Space Force.
i2SDR
True Software Defined Radio (SDR) is defined by the use of a general purpose processor (GPP) to accomplish the signal processing required for communications.
SECUREVIEW®
SecureView is the premier Cross-Domain Access Solution developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). SecureView provides users with the ability to access Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) on a single workstation.
