AFRL helps enable laser paint removal technology
The newly-approved Robotic Laser Coating Removal System vaporizes paint in a self-contained process that significantly reduces environmental hazards to maintainers. AFRL contributed technical expertise to help enable the use of this technology for production F-16 aircraft. (Photo courtesy of University of Dayton Research Institute/Dale Jackson)
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.
Metals Affordability Initiative brings together Air Force and industry for greater innovation, agility
Through a Metals Affordability Initiative project, AFRL and industry partners study advanced techniques to reduce cost and lead time for the production of aerospace metallic components. The Air Force Research Laboratory-managed MAI effort helps ensure the advancement of metals technologies for the betterment of the both the warfighter and participating partners.
