AFRL viewing aircraft inspections through the lens of technology
AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate researchers Capt. Sarah Wallentine and Alex Brown demonstrate the use of augmented reality for nondestructive inspections. AFRL researchers are developing a capability that uses the technology to display all necessary information for performing an aircraft inspection within the user's field of view, eliminating the need to view information from multiple sources simultaneously.

Boston ‘bluing’ trip highlights synthetic biology, biotechnology for AFRL team
Col. Charles Ormsby, Director, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, takes a closer look at the bioengineering design pipeline during a visit to the Broad Institute at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, April 25. The visit to the Broad Institute, part of an AFRL ‘bluing’ trip, exposed researchers to the state-of-the-art biotechnology research underway at the MIT lab. The diversity of the bluing tour stops, including the visit to the Broad Institute, spanned military research, academia and industry, and provided a new perspective on the broad intersections between ongoing research efforts in DoD and the wider biotechnology domain.

AFRL-led patches make ‘sense’ of sweat
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - A field tester at the U.S. Air Force Academy wears an Air Force Research Laboratory-developed sweat sensor during a ruck march as part of field testing of the AFRL-industry collaborative product. The next-generation wearable patch can measure select electrolyte levels present in human sweat and transmit this information wirelessly for scientific analysis. The patches will augment research on hydration with the goal of improving human performance in heat or high-stress conditions. (Courtesy photo/GE Global Research)
AFRL-led patches make ‘sense’ of sweat
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio - A collaborative effort between the Air Force Research Laboratory and industry partners through the Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium has led to the development of next-generation wearable patches that can detect electrolyte levels present in human sweat. Using novel AFRL-developed sensor materials and microfluidic technology, the patches can measure sodium and potassium levels present in sweat and transmit this information wirelessly for scientific analysis. The patches will augment research on hydration with the goal of improving human performance in heat or high-stress conditions. (Courtesy photo/GE Global Research)
