The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), received a $270,000 Project Grant award from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to develop a 3D scanning laser vibrometer for additive manufactured transducers, actuators, and robotic platforms. This award was made under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) to maintain technological superiority in scientific areas relevant to Air Force needs and prevent technological surprise. The grant period runs from May 14, 2021 to May 13, 2022. UCLA will utilize the funding to deliver a 3D scanning laser vibrometer to enable non-contact vibration measurement and characterization of additive manufactured components for transducers, actuators and robotic platforms. This supports the program's goals of maintaining a strong Air Force research infrastructure and preventing technological surprise to the United States.
