A worker at the Rapid Development Integration Facility on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base checks a prototype tool for functionality, April 20, 2017. The RDIF worked with the F-22 program office to develop a lock unlock tool for use during missile ejector system maintenance procedures. The collaborative effort expedited tool development and saved over $370K in cost. (U.S. Air Force photo)
Air Force expeditionary energy demo forges ahead
Part of AFRL's Forward Operating Base of the Future demonstration is one complete expeditionary microgrid system at Basic Expeditionary Airmen Skills Training (BEAST), Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas. Monocrystalline silicon solar panels are placed on top of each tent for energy production. A trailer (center) holds the hardware, software and lithium ion batteries that form the smart grid and provide energy backup should the grid fail. The project evaluates energy reduction technologies such as shelter insulation and efficient HVACs. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jason Goins)
Next generation coatings booth poised to save Air Force millions in energy
A next generation F-35 coatings application booth at Hill Air Force Base is set to become initially operational by October 2017. The state-of-the-art coatings booth project, led by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Advanced Power Technology Office, is expected to save more than $330,000 annually in energy through the employment of advanced sensors, control logic and sophisticated software analysis tools to monitor and improve performance over the lifetime of the complex.

Researchers turn to liquid metals for agile electronics
The oxide skin on gallium-based liquid metals, shown here in suspension, give the materials the ability to hold a shape and to be reconfigured into new shapes that can maintain electrical conductivity. Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory have demonstrated the capacity for liquid metal alloys to be flowed through embedded material channels to create physically reconfigurable antennas and electronic circuits.
