Research Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory Nature Inspired Research Facility use specialized equipment to measure an insect’s response to various light stimuli to better understand how they see and process
information. The researchers use this information to determine how insect vision can enable engineers to develop better weapon sensors that more
effectively sense targets. (Photo by Keith Lewis)
The document outlines three key lines of effort: joint operations, rapid experimentation and prototyping, and ensuring the foundations for research and development.
