• In summary:

• Find good science; help the AF work in

Europe; build relationships

• Possible refinements

• Prioritize the science? Fill CONUS gaps?

• What are realistic timelines? When do we get

out of a field? When do we get in?

• How do we transition portfolios when PMs

leave?

• Diplomacy role?

Current EOARD Strategy

Overseas research is growing, AF resources are shrinking—how do we

respond?


International Science Office (ISO)

Tokyo London Santiago Arlington

• ISO is belly button for all overseas 6.1 research

• One strategy drives science, personnel, and business

• AOR barriers are softened; collaborations are planned

• Keep overseas presence but consolidate business ops

• ISO partners with Chief Technology Officer to cover all AF 6.1 research internationally

• ISO partners with AFRL TDs to cover AFRL international basic research interests.

• New organization is more than cost cutting; it will improve overall international engagement strategy and will bring more value to the AF

After 60 years, some proposed changes…


Questions?


"plan for the coordinated use of all the instruments of state power to pursue objectives that protect and promote the

national interest."1 The objectives, or output, of a successful foreign policy strategy must be crafted such that their

achievement creates a strategic effect that supports a designated national interest. A strategy that achieves its given

objectives but fails to support the associated national interest is at best a waste of resources and national power and at

worst a threat to the national security of the country.

Formulation of effective foreign policy strategy is a complex undertaking. As Deibel points out,

"The heart of the strategist's work is to see clearly the extraordinarily complex interrelationships among the elements of

strategy."2 Unfortunately, before strategists can begin to contemplate the ends, ways, means, and national interests

described above, they must first assess their assumptions regarding the strategic environment, for it is these

assumptions that identify the threats, opportunities, and values that define interests, and also the extent and availability

of resources (power) needed to achieve objectives.

Put another way, strategy built on flawed assumptions is doomed to failure.

Towards ―double negative‖ acoustic metamaterials

In general, much of the experimental work focused

on millimetric materials, fabricated through

lithographic or precision mechanical techniques

Attainable freqs << 104 Hz

Processing issues at large scale

A microfluidic approach to negative effective mass density:

• Designed for ~104 Hz

• Resonance frequencies

tailorable using core-shell

sizes & elastic properties

• Single negativity for efficient

attenuation, or as step
