    AFRL celebrates patents, seeks to further bolster numbers

    WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- It would be safe to assume that a pioneering research and development organization such as the Air Force Research Laboratory possesses its fair share of patented intellectual property.  The fact is that 218 patents have been filed by AFRL since 2011, with 49 filed in fiscal year 2015 alone. Some prominent

  • An AF first for aircraft research, development

    For the first time the Air Force has a means to conduct airworthiness assessments on non-Defense Department military type aircraft. This process enables the Air Force to gain a much deeper understanding of the state of civil aviation, while providing industry with an expert, independent evaluation of the safety and reliability of their products.
  • John Trombley, a biomedical lab technician at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, works on exome sequencing to observe gene expression under hypoxic conditions for Air Force personnel. Gene expression can dramatically change to cope with environmental stressors. Efforts are underway to determine what genes are either up or down regulated under hypoxic conditions experienced by flight personnel. (U.S. Air Force photo/Richard Eldridge)

    USAFSAM to study potential transfer of novel viruses via bed bugs

    The U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine recently signed a limited-purpose Material Transfer Agreement Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (MTA-CRADA) with the University Hospitals of Cleveland, Ohio. This unique agreement does not include a financial contribution, but rather the hospital is providing USAFSAM with frozen bed bugs
