AFRL''s mission is leading the discovery, development, and integration of
affordable warfighting technologies for our air and space forces. AFRL
accomplishes this through 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 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.
