AFRL leading biofuels research
Joseph Mantz runs an emissions measurement test using a helicopter engine burning a bio-mass based jet fuel March 30 at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The Air Force is readying for certification flight testing using fuels derived from plant oils and animal fats, which are blended 50-50 with traditional JP-8 jet fuel. Mr. Mantz is a research technician with the University of Dayton Research Institute. (U.S. Air Force photo/Bonnie White)
AFRL leading biofuels research
Dr. Tim Edwards is leading the Air Force Research Laboratory's efforts to develop alternative biofuels like this camelina oil-based jet fuel in intermediate storage at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The Air Force is about to embark on certification testing for hyro-treated renewable jet (HRJ) fuels, derived from animal fats and plant oils, which are blended with traditional JP-8. Dr. Edwards is a senior chemical engineer with AFRL's Propulsion Directorate. (U.S. Air Force photo/Bonnie White)
AFRL leading alternative biofuels research
Richard Strievich, with the University of Dayton Research Institute, runs laboratory tests on camelina oil at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. AFRL is working closely with a number of industry and academic partners to research and develop hydro-treated renewable jet (HRJ) derived from plant oils and animal fats. Air Force Alternative Fuels Certification Office officials intend to certify a 50-50 blend of HRJ with traditional JP-8 jet fuel to power the service's entire fleet of aircraft.

USAFSAM collaborates with industry to make new color vision test available
MSgt Robert Sanders looks at the blue color vision segment of the new Cone Contrast Test at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine’s Aerospace Ophthalmology Branch laboratory. The CCT is a software-generated clinical color vision test that indicates type (red, green or blue) and severity (mild to severe) of color vision deficiency and quantifies normal color performance.

Automating Mission Control for AF UAVs
Engineers at Boston University (BU) are working on a theoretical approach to improve automated mission control and decision-making for fleets of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Automating these functions would let UAVs adapt their actions more rapidly in response to unforeseen events and ultimately require less human supervision.

New Ways of Measuring Catastrophic Risks
Noted AFOSR-funded researcher, Dr. Graciela Chichilnisky is pioneering a new approach for measuring, anticipating and managing catastrophic risks, sometimes called “Black Swans” or natural catastrophes like hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis and floods that may possibly enhance the Air Force’s capabilities of preparing for disasters.
