AFRL kicks off Commander’s Challenge
DAYTON, Ohio – Air Force Research Laboratory Commander Maj. Gen. William T. Cooley delivers opening remarks at the AFRL Commander’s Challenge 2017 kick off Aug. 2 at the Wright Brothers Institute Tec^Edge Innovation and Collaboration Center here. This year’s challenge is “Precision Remote Resupply,” designed to support combat troops deployed from a forward operating base. (U.S. Air Force photo/John Harrington)
AFRL kicks off Commander’s Challenge
DAYTON, Ohio – Erin Nichols, a program manager on Team Wright-Patt, writes down project assumptions on a team whiteboard during a brainstorming session Aug. 2 as part of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Commander’s Challenge 2017. The challenge this year is to remotely move 50 pounds of supplies to a location 30 miles away, delivering them to an area smaller than 400 square feet. (U.S. Air Force photo/John Harrington)

Linking form with function: AFRL’s flex team drives future tech capabilities for the warfighter
A member of the Flexible Materials and Processes team at the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate exhibits an additively manufactured electrical circuit embedded in a flexible material substrate. The flex team is exploring novel ways to use 3-D printing technology to create next generation flexible hybrid technologies for the Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo / Marisa Alia-Novobilski)
AFRL’s Energy and Environment Team wins top Air Force acquisition leadership award
Another energy efficiency project managed by the award-winning Air Force Research Energy and Environment Team focused on the development and testing of a new, lightweight composite RAM Air Inlet system (right) for the C-5M Super Galaxy Transport Aircraft. The new part is intended to replace legacy air inlets, mitigating corrosion issues while providing a lightweight, cost-effective solution to help maintain the fleet. (U.S. Air Force courtesy photo)
AFRL researchers explore automation, additive technologies for cost efficient solar power
Dr. Santanu Bag, a project scientist at the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, is exploring cost-efficient manufacturing of solar cells using additive technology.
AFRL researchers explore automation, additive technologies for cost efficient solar power
Researchers at the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, have demonstrated the ability to print solar cells on three-dimensional surfaces using a modified aerosol spray printer. The ability to print three dimensionally opens the aperture for future application of solar cells on diverse surfaces for sensors, robotics and more.

AFRL leader named ACS Fellow
Dr. Timothy J. Bunning, Chief Scientist, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, was elected to the 2017 Class of the American Chemical Society of Fellows. ACS is the world's largest scientific society and a leading source of authoritative science information, with more than 157,000 members worldwide. The fellow honor, awarded to only 65 members this year, recognizes members for distinguished contributions to science and for their contributions to development and leadership of the society. Bunning is one of only a handful of AFRL scientists to ever achieve this honor. (Courtesy photo)
YB+ Ion Trapping
The ultrahigh vacuum chamber that houses the trapped ion experiment (left). The ion trap (upper right) used in the experiment. It is a surface electrode trap from Sandia National Laboratory. Four trapped Yb+ ions confined in the ion trap (bottom right). The ions are illuminated with resonant 369nm light and the scattered photons are collected on an Electron Multiplying Charge-Coupled Device camera, a device used for extremely low-light video capture, capable of detecting single photons – the fundamental particle of light. The ability to capture multiple ions, used as qubits, could be critical to creating fully functional quantum computers and quantum networks. (U.S. Air Force photo/Courtesy)
AFRL’s cutting edge ISR platform commences Harvest Reaper flight testing
The Air Force Research Laboratory’s AgilePod has commenced a series of flight tests aboard a Douglas DC-3 aircraft in preparation for integration on the Air Force MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle later this year. AgilePod is fully flight-line reconfigurable, and enables operators to meet a variety of mission sets with multiple sensors on a single platform. (U.S. Air Force photo/David Dixon)
