This portfolio links the Air Force Research Laboratory into the world-wide science community. The portfolio objectives are integrating innovative science outside the US vocabulary into the Department of Defense science and technology acquisition chain, matching US Air Force requirements with unique Latin American science resources, and building collaborative, leveraged US and Latin American science programs. US Air Force longer-term science goals are being realized through a teaming strategy with the US State Department, Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command, along with other national and international science investors.
Innovative programs in organic materials chemistry, natural materials and systems, and quantum electronic solids drawing on Latin America's unique biodiversity and infrastructure investments are broadening US Air Force technology capabilities through the portfolio. Program globally-integrated teams aligned with the US Air Force Research Laboratory's Advanced Components for Electronic Warfare Consortium roadmaps are researching integrated silicon photonics and metamaterials. The portfolio has programs anchored in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and cross-discipline collaboration partnering with US, Belgium, Singapore, and Sweden-based science leaders.
