Abstract	A brief overview of the AFOSR Dynamics and Controls portfolio was presented by the current program manager for the program, LtCol Scott Wells. The program has a total of 64 projects, including core funded projects, AFRL lab tasks, STTRs, and 5 MURIs. Key areas of research in the program include: control and dynamics of single autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (trajectory/waypoint tracking, target tracking, collision and obstacle avoidance, integrated guidance and control, vision-based control); cooperative multiple agent UAV control (task allocation, path planning, tracking, state estimation, network theory/architecture, information theory, mixed initiative); aerodynamic flow control and control of unsteady phenomena; active waveform control; dynamics and modeling (modeling, identification and uncertainty characterization); general control theory (nonlinear, adaptive, hybrid); and Validation & Verification (V&V). LtCol Wells announced his upcoming retirement in summer 08 and gave an appeal for help in the search to find a replacement AFOSR program manager.
