The Air Force is stimulating new thinking about future ways of warfighting and the answers to some of its the most complex challenges are being provided by scientists and engineers from across Air Force Research Laboratory.
Eleven of those scientists and engineers were recognized Oct. 26 for outstanding career accomplishments during the 2017 AFRL Fellows and Science and Engineering Early Career Awards Banquet at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
