as well as test and evaluation to meet U.S. Air Force (USAF) aerospace electro-optical (EO) and radio frequency (RF) sensor needs for air, space and C2 sensor systems. AFRL/RYM conducts programs in modeling, simulation, research, design, test and evaluation of RF and EO subsystems and sensors for use in offensive, defensive and integrated offensive/defensive systems. AFRL/RYM ensures unequaled persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; time sensitive targeting; and battlespace access capabilities for America's air and space forces by developing, demonstrating and transitioning advanced RF and EO sensors. AFRL/RYM solicits innovative research proposals in the following twelve research areas.1. Antenna Technologies and Electromagnetic (EM) Scattering2. Electro-optic and Infrared Sensor Technology (EO/IR)3. Sensor Information Processing and Integration4. Novel EO/IR, Spectral and Common Aperture EO/Radio Frequency (RF) Hardware and Algorithms5.
