'''FIGURE 1. Government organization for scientific and technical activities, 1971 (C)''' (chart)

Chemistry and Medicine (FOA-1), at Sundbyberg, Department of Physics (FOA-2), Department of Electronics and Communications (FOA-3), Department of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Chemistry (FOA-4), Materials Division (FOA-M), Division for Research Planning and Operations Research (FOA-P), and Military Electronics Laboratory (FTL). FOA-1 is concerned with chemical and biological warfare studies. FOA-2 undertakes research related to weapons systems. FOA-3 is engaged in all phases of transmission, transformation, and processing of communications information and systems, as well as basic radio research; special attention is given to wave propagation, antennas, and electron tube. It also does work on electronic warfare, radar, and sonar. The FTL is part of FOA-3, and its activities include electronics testing and standardization of electronic components and systems. FOA-4 cooperates with the universities in supporting research in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry. The FOA cooperates with other organizations concerned with various aspects of defense research, including the Swedish Defense Staff, Defense Services, Royal Swedish Fortification Administration, Defense Medical Board, Medical Research Council, Directorate of the National Defense Factories, universities, and industries. Defense-oriented organizations which are subordinate to other ministries include the National Aeronautical Research Institute, Ulvsunda, and the State Shipbuilding Experimental Tank, Goteborg; both are under the Ministry of Industrial Affairs.

The National Aeronautical Research Institute has wind tunnels for static and dynamic testing of airplane models in the range of subsonic to supersonic speeds. It also has equipment for testing complete structures, structural components, and test specimens under static and dynamic fatigue loading.
