Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
Air Force Research Laboratory contractor David Borth of the University of Dayton Research Institute demonstrates the computer-controlled adjustment of test parameters for the newly-installed Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber. The ACES chamber enhances corrosion test capabilities by allowing AFRL researchers to recreate the broad range of environmental conditions under which military assets operate.

Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
The one-of-a-kind Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber enhances Air Force Research Laboratory corrosion test capabilities, by enabling researchers to recreate the broad range of environmental conditions under which military assets operate, including UV radiation, temperature, humidity, and various gaseous environments.

Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
The scribed test sample on the left represents the traditional method of corrosion testing, in which researchers etch through both topcoat and primer layers to simulate damage and resulting corrosion. The new Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber enables more realistic full-scale testing of specimens similar to the one on the right, by simultaneously subjecting samples to realistic fatigue testing and environmental conditions.

AFRL unveils “one-stop” technology licensing
The Air Force Research Laboratory is launching Express Licensing, a one-stop shopping approach that allows entrepreneurs to discover available AFRL-developed technologies and quickly and easily determine if a licensing opportunity fits their capabilities. Pictured here are voxelated liquid crystal elastomers, a shape-changeable soft material technology available on the Express Licensing website. (Courtesy photo)

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.

AFRL researchers innovate, ‘sprint’ to create waterproof rescue duffel
U.S. Air Force Capt. Jason Goins leads the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Junior Force Warfighters Operations in RX (JFWORX) team during a Design Sprint to create a waterproof medical bag for the National Guard’s 103rd Guardian Angel Personnel Recovery Unit. The Design Sprint, developed by Google, takes a unique approach to business problems by compressing the product development cycle into a five-day process that results in a realistic prototype to meet a business need.
