Additional Information on Eligibility: Information not provided
Grant Description: AFOSR, in conjunction with the AFRL Rapid Reaction Team, announces a program to promote and sustain university research and education focused on innovative military systems and related technologies. This program will be structured as a yearly design challenge, with the objectives and constraints of the design specified by the AFRL management team at the beginning of the academic year and a competition amongst the undergraduate university teams to determine the best design to be held at the end of the academic year. The competitive nature of this effort is expected to provide enhanced incentives to participants in improving education related to practical design engineering, including systems engineering, requirements allocation and flowdown, design synthesis and problem solving, and innovative solution development, test and validation. The winner of this yearly competition will be encouraged to apply for additional projects as they are announced to continue their exemplary research, possibly incorporating elements of the other design solutions. However winning the competition does not guarantee additional funding and any subsequent funding opportunities will be available for all eligible proposers in accordance with the submission guidelines of the instrument.
