Mission Transition

Close cooperation between IT personnel at Brooks City Base, Texas and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio is ensuring the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine's digital resources will remain available during the relocation and be “up and running” once the unit’s BRAC-directed move is complete.

Lab Shares a Stake in Better Military Tents

Air Force Research Laboratory teamed with North Carolina State University and Armacell, LLC, to develop a cost-effective method for manufacturing better military tents. The materials integration approach results in a well-insulated, fire-resistant tent (demonstrator shown) that is lighter-weight, less expensive, and more durable than tents made from conventional fabrics.
