Research and Technology Protection

Overview
The Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI)’s Research and Technology Protection (RTP) program identifies critical Air Force technologies, analyzes threats against those technologies, directs measures to mitigate those threats, and investigates suspicious activities by foreign nationals when warranted. AFOSI also shares RTP-related intelligence with other U.S. Government agencies and cooperatively tracks and analyzes the changing nature of the threat to American technologies.
