Basic Research Basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. 1. Here, delta phi_DL is the potential jump in the double layer (DL) at the bottom of the acceleration region; delta phi_TR is the potential increase in the transition region (TR) just above the DL; and delta phi_LR is the potential increase in the long range potential region (LRPR). 2. The DL is about 20 ( electron Debye lengths) wide; the TR is about 150 Debye lengths wide; and the LRPR is about (10^6-10^7) Debye lengths long. 3. Note that Debye length ~ 10m, so 10^6-10^7) Debye lengths is about 10^4-10^5 kms.

Applied Research Applied research is systematic study to understand the means to meet a recognized and specific need. It is a systematic expansion and application of knowledge to develop useful materials, devices, and systems or methods. It may be oriented, ultimately, toward the design, development, and improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet general mission area requirements. Applied research may translate promising basic research into solutions for broadly defined military needs, short of system development. 1. Here, delta phi_DL is the potential jump in the double layer (DL) at the bottom of the acceleration region; delta phi_TR is the potential increase in the transition region (TR) just above the DL; and delta phi_LR is the potential increase in the long range potential region (LRPR). 2. The DL is about 20 ( electron Debye lengths) wide; the TR is about 150 Debye lengths wide; and the LRPR is about (10^6-10^7) Debye lengths long. 3. Note that Debye length ~ 10m, so 10^6-10^7) Debye lengths is about 10^4-10^5 kms.

Advanced Technology Development Advanced Technology Development (ATD) includes concept and technology demonstrations of components and subsystems or system models. The models may be form, fit and function prototypes or scaled models that serve the same demonstration purpose. The results of this type of effort are proof of technological feasibility and assessment of subsystem and component operability and producibility rather than the development of hardware for service use. ATD includes development of subsystems and components and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field experiments and/or tests in a simulated environment. 1. Here, delta phi_DL is the potential jump in the double layer (DL) at the bottom of the acceleration region; delta phi_TR is the potential increase in the transition region (TR) just above the DL; and delta phi_LR is the potential increase in the long range potential region (LRPR). 2. The DL is about 20 ( electron Debye lengths) wide; the TR is about 150 Debye lengths wide; and the LRPR is about (10^6-10^7) Debye lengths long. 3.

What I Look for in Proposals In the abstract, clearly and concisely define the objectives the approach to achieve the objectives the scientific merit of the proposed research Explain why the research is leading edge, more revolutionary than evolutionary (one paragraph ) Explaining why the topic should be of interest to the AF and DoD if it is not immediately obvious (one paragraph )

The Bottom Line I hope to get 50 or more white papers I plan encourage 10-15 proposals I hope fund 5-8 new proposals 2006 Time Line White papers due April Proposals due June Prospective funding decisions by October Start date December 1

How does your proposal rate Revolutionary, game changing, cutting edge Leading Evolutionary Incremental Well planned, high returns
