Air Force programs at APL

The Applied Physics Laboratory is engaged in several diverse projects for the U,S. Air Force. These programs, which are distributed among various Laboratory departments, include Flare Genesis, an Antarctic balloon mission to study the solar magnetic field, and Defense Suppression, a program to test, evaluate, and recommend improvements to the High-Speed Antiradiation Missile. Given the Laboratory's longstanding and fruitful contributions to Air Force technology, such efforts are likely to continue.
