Dynamics and Control at AFOSR: Challenges and Future Directions

A brief overview of the AFOSR Dynamics and Control portfolio will be presented. This program emphasizes the interplay of dynamical systems and control theories with the aim of developing innovative mathematical and synergistic strategies for the design and analysis of controlled systems that enable radically enhanced capabilities for future Air Force applications. Application areas currently include information systems, as well as autonomous/semi-autonomous aerial vehicles, munitions, and space vehicles.
