CHARLESTON AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. – Air Force Operational Energy and Air Mobility Command are entering the final phase of evaluation for microvane drag reduction technology on the C-17 Globemaster III. Developed through a collaborative…
Finding lubricants that work at exceptionally high temperatures challenges researchers and industries alike. Recently, a Virginia Tech team may have uncovered a promising candidate by happenstance:Â transition metal spinel oxides formed on nickel-chromium-based superalloys. Unlike…
A dry material makes a great fire starter, and a soft material lends itself to a sweater. Batteries require materials that can store lots of energy, and microchips need components that can turn the flow…
The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory is leading an effort on increasing missile range and lethality against highly maneuverable targets through utilizing active morphing. Â In this system, morphing is accomplished through articulating the neck region,…
A laser-based metal additive manufacturing process offers lower heat input; thus leading to less base metal distortion compared to traditional welding processes. Digital twin (DT) is a critical technology, as it gives insights into many…
Antenna developments for space applications have a long history at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Starting from the 1970s, Voyager; Galileo; Cassini; the Shutter Radar Topography mission; and, more recently,…
SpaceCom | Space Congress exclusively draws participation from industry leaders and organizations with the power to drive new space strategies, fuel forward progress, signal demand for continued innovation, inform policy, and institute a sustainable future…
During the week of 24-28 March 2025, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), on behalf of the U.S. Department of defense (DoD) Space Community of Interest (COI), will host a virtual technology interchange meeting…
The National Fire Control Symposium (NFCS) is a tri-service supported event with technical program lead advisory rotating among the services. The U.S. Navy will provide lead technical advisorship for the March 2025 event in its…
