1.2 DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION

The timeliness of information dissemination is a critical component in Air Force research and development efforts. The product of the Air Force Research Laboratory structure is technology. The advancement of technology requires continuous exchange of information and ideas between government agencies, associated DoD contractors, universities, and allied foreign countries.
