Transition Approval Go-Ahead a SMART Program Move
Recently marked for future inclusion in the Department of Defense Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network ACAT [Acquisition Category] 1 Program of Record, SMART is a single, unifying, user-centered application that aids analysts in seamlessly exploiting structured and unstructured information and data. It uses semantic Web technologies and semantic tags so that users can have a single workspace (as opposed to multiple, separate, 'stovepiped' applications) for information exchange. (Air Force photo)

Starfire Optical Range at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico
The Air Force Research Laboratory's Starfire Optical Range is a vital resource in achieving the Air Force mission to operate freely in space. This world-class optical research facility and center for Air Force strategic optical exploration is on a hilltop site (6,240 feet above sea level) on Kirtland AFB, N.M. The SOR primary mission is to develop optical sensing, imaging and atmospheric propagation technologies to support Air Force aerospace missions. This facility leads the industry changing technology of laser beacon adaptive optics for military uses and civilian applications such as astronomy. It is a major component of the AFRL Directed Energy Directorate. U.S. Air Force photo
