Air Force Office of Scientific Research

Description

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) is seeking unclassified proposals that do not contain proprietary information for a University Center of Excellence (CoE) in Electromagnetic Interference for Extreme Electromagnetic Environments. This center is a joint project between the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Directed Energy Directorate. We expect research to be fundamental.The CoE will extend the research capabilities of AFRL and provide opportunities for a new generation of US scientists and engineers to address Air Force basic research needs.The focus of this Center of Excellence will be research related to developing a fundamental understanding of, and ultimately a predictive model for, the effects of an intense Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) environment on electronic systems, using both current CMOS technology and evolving future technologies. By increasing our fundamental knowledge of the underlying physics of electronic interference and by compatibility with electromagnetic environments, and by discovering and applying new methods of predicting the interaction of such environments with complex, non-linear electronic systems using modeling and simulation techniques implemented on emerging petascale supercomputers, the CoE will enable a more scientific, less empirical methodology to fundamentally re-examine the field of EMI/EMC.
