Background/History of the Laboratory:
The AFRL Air Vehicles Directorate (VA) seeks to enable the joint warfighter to anticipate,
find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess anyone, anywhere, at any time. The directorate
focuses on core competencies (Integration, Control Sciences, Structures and Aeronautical
Sciences) and works in concert with other AFRL directorates to achieve this vision. The
directorate has established Centers of Excellence in Computational Sciences, Control
Science, Multi-Disciplinary Technologies, and Structural Science.
