Air Force teams with industry to further aircraft and radome coating research
The small-scale Microwave Mapping Transparency Sensor System takes measurements of an aircraft radome. The system was developed by Compass Technology Group under an Air Force Small Business Innovative Research agreement and loaned to the company through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate.

The testing was conducted under a cooperative research and development agreement between the directorate and Northrop Grumman. (Courtesy Photo/AFRL)
AFRL shares UAV software to further research
Capt. Anthony Castello views the Vigilant Spirit Control Station at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Engineers in the 711th Human Performance Wing's Supervisory Control & Cognition Branch developed the software which allows operators to control multiple UAVs at once. The software package offers multi-role, human-machine teaming and an advanced simulation and training component. It is currently being shared with the multiple companies through information transfer agreements. (U.S. Air Force courtesy photo)
2015 AFRL Commanders Challenge
Former U.S. Air Force Capt. Chris Perrine, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, chief of acquisitions for net centric services-2, from Robbins Air Force Base, Ga., monitors his team’s active shooter detection system during the 2015 Air Force Research Laboratory Commander’s Challenge. The system, which was patented by the Air Force, enables dispatchers to see exactly where in the building an alarm was activated and inform emergency responders, allowing them to better respond to the threat. Protective Innovations LLC, a company started by Perrine after his separation, licensed the technology for commercialization in 2017. (U.S. Air Force photo by Wesley Farnsworth)
AFRL material transfer agreement leads to international research grant with Australia
A team of researchers from the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX), Griffith University, and Australian Synchrotron Facility are pictured in the Soft X-Ray Spectroscopy laboratory. The visit was part of research conducted under a Material Transfer Agreement between AFRL/RX and Griffith University. Pictured in the photo from left to right are: Mojtaba Amjadi Pour (QUT student), Tyson Back (AFRL contractor, Surface Scientist), Francesca Iacopi (former professor at Griffith University, currently at Univeristy of Technolgy Sydney) Patrick Soukiassian (long-time collaborator from CEA-Saclay, Synchrotron Expert), John Boeckl (AFRL/RX), and Anton Tadich (Australian Synchrotron, Beamline Scientist).

Air Force partnership with university enables 3D technology research
A test participant receives a 3-D full body scan at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. The participant is attempting to conceal an illegal object under their clothing through a simulated security checkpoint. This research was possible through an educational partnership agreement between the Air Force Research Laboratory 711th Human Performance Wing and Bowling Green State University. The research focused on human biomechanics and 3-D motion analysis. A specific area of interest was the change of size, shape and motion when an individual has concealed objects in the torso. Results from this research are projected to improve defense and security processes for the military. (Image courtesy of Bowling Green State University)
AFRL agreement will further non-contact inspection method developments
The Hole-to-Edge Measurement Technology system performs a non-contact inspection. The HEMT was developed by Creare, LLC under an Air Force Small Business Innovation Research agreement. The technology and other equipment was temporarily transferred to Creare, LLC under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate.

Aerospace Systems Directorate Uses Educational Partnerships to Further STEM Program
Air Force Capt. Joseph Ausserer assists Aerospace Propulsion Outreach Program students installing their design for testing and evaluation in the Aerospace Systems Directorate’s Small Engine Research Laboratory. The program, referred to as APOP, is a directorate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) initiative that funds year-long undergraduate engineer capstone programs across the country that focus on gas turbine engine projects.
