Air Force Collaborates With Marines For More Effective Disaster Response
Staff Sgt. Cesar Valverde, Health Physics Technician, USAFSAM, Radiation Health Consulting (OEHH), hangs upside down on a rappelling tower, supported by rescue knots he tied himself. Staff Sgt. Valverde participated in the U.S. Marine Corps’ Chemical Biological Incident Response Force Basic Operations Course.
Human Performace Wing Complex
One of Wright-Patterson AFB design team’s concept of the 711th Human Performance Wing Complex, which won an Honor Award for Concept Design in the 2010 Air Force Design Awards Program.
Mission Transition
Close cooperation between IT personnel at Brooks City Base, Texas and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio is ensuring the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine's digital resources will remain available during the relocation and be “up and running” once the unit’s BRAC-directed move is complete.

Lab Shares a Stake in Better Military Tents
Air Force Research Laboratory teamed with North Carolina State University and Armacell, LLC, to develop a cost-effective method for manufacturing better military tents. The materials integration approach results in a well-insulated, fire-resistant tent (demonstrator shown) that is lighter-weight, less expensive, and more durable than tents made from conventional fabrics.

AFRL an Automatic Choice for AutoScan Assistance
Shown left and right are respective depictions of the AFRL/industry-developed AutoScan In-Ground and AutoScan Portable systems. The technology improves safety by enabling security forces personnel to inspect vehicle undercarriages remotely via system-provided imagery. (AFRL image)
New Facility a Positive for Positron Spectroscopy Advances
Air Force Research Laboratory munitions researchers demonstrated initial operational capability of a positron spectroscopy lab for investigating submicron flaws in energetic materials, which are critical to insensitive munitions development. Shown is a graphical depiction of positron spectroscopy results. (AFRL image)
Eco-Energy Possible Thanks to Thermoelectric Effects
The Air Force Research Laboratory/National Science Foundation-funded work of Dr. Daryoosh Vashaee (pictured) and fellow researchers at Oklahoma State University's Helmerich Advanced Technology Research Center targets thermoelectric nanotechnology for environmentally sound, inexpensive energy production.
