AFRL research targets lethal AAA weaponry
Capt. Yongjun Yoon, an RF sensing engineer from the RF Technology Branch at AFRL's Sensors Directorate, and David Sobota, with the Sensors Effects and Analysis Branch, in front of a ZPU-4 Soviet-built anti-aircraft gun at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Composed of four KPV 14.5mm heavy machine guns mounted on a four-wheel carriage, the ZPU-4 was used by the Iraqis in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm. The effective range for the anti-aircraft gun was approximately 5,000 feet (1,500 meters). Each gun had a muzzle velocity of approximately 3,300 feet/second (990 meters/second) and a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. The metal link belt contained 100 rounds for each gun. The Air Force Research Lab is mostly interested in the longer range, more lethal AAA guns for research. (U.S. Air Force photo)

Maj. Gen. William T. Cooley, Air Force Research Laboratory commander, tries out the controls of remote-control, ultra-light aircraft March 2, 2018 at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Ala. While visiting with Team Kirtland on the last day of the AFRL Commander’s Challenge. The aircraft is designed to drop an autonomous vehicle, which can then transport supplies in an effort to resupply remote warfighters. (U.S. Air Force photo by R.J. Oriez)

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)
