nGrand Forks Air Force Base (GFAFB) is a sprawling installation on a 5,773 acre installation with 13 miles of perimeter fence-line. Many of these perimeter areas have limited monitoring capabilities due to a lack of grid power for fixed sensors and cameras. Installing sensors is impractical due to cost and time constraints and the remoteness of these areas.  The squadron deploys teams of Defender ...

Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has initiated Just-in-time, Multi-Mission Airmen/Warfighters (JIT MMA/W) to support deployed personnel as they become multi-capable airmen while performing tasks outside of their traditional AFSCs. JIT MMA/W is enablin

The sixty-year evolution of the United States Air Force (USAF) ICBM system has led to the need to integrate several aging data systems that were not designed to work together.  On behalf of the USAF, AFRL’s Center for Rapid Innovation (CRI) sought a Command and Control (C2) capability to bridge this information gap and unify the many disparate data sources required for Situational Awareness (SA ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) of components via Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a complex process involving long deposits of single-walled tracks. DED has been gaining popularity due to its ability to build functionally graded parts as well as repair components. Depending on whether the feedstock material is powder-blown or wire-fed, the source of focused energy can be a laser, electron beam, pl ...

Scene simulation is an integral component of weapon system research & development, allowing researchers to evaluate new sensor concepts entirely in the digital space as well as drive scene projection during hardware-in-the-loop testing. Unfortunately, research scientists are limited to a small set of available background environments that cover only a few geographic locations.  VSI proposes GEOSI ...
