Lab Gets It 'Write' With Novel Manufacturing Methods
AFRL's most recently demonstrated DW method entails M3D, which employs aerodynamic focusing to deposit chemical precursor solutions and/or colloidal suspensions directly onto material surfaces. (AFRL image)
Lab Gets It 'Write' With Novel Manufacturing Methods
AFRL uses direct-write manufacturing to create new structures and integrated materials. Pictured is a researcher employing Mesoscale Maskless Material Deposition, one of many DW techniques enabling the three-dimensional deposition of functional materials directly onto a material surface.

Much-Needed HPM Sources the Pulse of Directed Energy Research
Microwave pulse compressor technology will aid high-power microwave research. Pictured is the plasma switch that is placed inside the waveguide in order to switch out compressed microwave energy once the MPC cavity is filled. (Image provided by Everett G. Farr, Farr Research, Inc.)
New Antennas Conform to Air Vehicles, Not Status Quo
The AFRL Manufacturing Technology Division's conformal load-bearing antenna structures technology is intended to replace expensive, bulky antennas. Pictured is the third CLAS prototype, which has a complex, curved configuration. (AFRL image)
Benter Award Winner Explores the World of Imaging Research
Dr. George Papanicolaou, AFRL-funded researcher and Stanford University mathematics professor, earned the first William Benter Prize in Applied Mathematics. The biennial honor recognizes his mathematical contributions to solving problems in engineering, physics, and similarly complex arenas. (Photo courtesy of Stanford University)
Wright-Patt gets new research radar towers
Staff Sgt. Maurice Acosta and Tech. Sgt. Jordan Bunting inspect wiring atop a radar tower at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Active duty Airmen from the 820th RED HORSE Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. and Air National Guard members from six states teamed in September to construct three 100-foot research radars towers for the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate at Wright-Patt. The actual radars atop each tower were relocated from Rome, N.Y. to implement consolidation directed by BRAC 2005 decisions. Sergeants Acosta and Bunting are each with the 820th RHS Airborne Flight.

First air cargo delivery re-enacted
Advanced ceramic matrix composite fabric and conceptual models of micro-aerial vehicles being developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory served as cargo aboard a Wright “B” Flyer during a Oct. 2, 2010 reenactment of the world’s first cargo flight. The original flight took place Nov. 7, 1910, and was made by Wright Company pilot Phil Parmelee in a Wright Model “B” when he flew 200 pounds of silk cloth from Huffman Prairie Flying Field (now part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) to Columbus, Ohio.
