KEY CUSTOMERS
|
There is an informal business relationship between General Dynamics Robotic Systems of Westminster, Maryland and Robotic Research, LLC. This began between the principal owners of each company before Robotic Research was formed and before the former Robotic Systems Technology was purchased by General Dynamics in 1999. This symbiotic working relationship exists today, resulting in advantages for both companies as they conduct research on shared projects as well as their own, separate projects. For a small business like Robotic Research, this relationship provides access to expanded testing facilities, lab space, and consulting expertise.

AFOSR continues to expand the horizon of scientific knowledge through its leadership and management of the Air Force's basic research program. As a vital component of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), AFOSR's mission is to support Air Force goals of control and maximum utilization of air, space, and cyberspace.
AFOSR accomplishes its mission by investing in basic research efforts for the Air Force in relevant scientific areas. Central to AFOSR's strategy is the transfer of the fruits of basic research to industry, the supplier of Air Force acquisitions; to the academic community which can lead the way to still more accomplishment; and to the other directorates of AFRL that carry the responsibility for applied and development research leading to acquisition.
