435 CRS Survey Team determines soil strength

U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Trevor Akers, a developmental engineer from the 96th Cyberspace Test Group currently supporting the 435th AGOW's Innovation Program, utilizes a drill to bypass a thick layer of concrete to expose the underlying soil in preparation for a Dynamic Cone Penetrometer. These tasks are critical in determining whether a concrete Landing Zone can safely accommodate aircraft, especially in combat zones or remote locations. (U.S. Air Force courtesy photo)

AFRL to highlight tech to ‘achieve decisive advantage in an age of growing threats’ at 2024 Air, Space and Cyber Conference

The Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL’s, XQ-67A Off Board Sensing Station uncrewed air vehicle, designed and built by General Atomics, takes its maiden flight Feb. 28, 2024, from Gray Butte Field Airport in Palmdale, California. The XQ-67A’s first flight was made possible due in large part to Low Cost Attritable Aircraft Platform Sharing, or LCAAPS, which AFRL will showcase at its “Engine to Accelerate” booths at the 2024 Air and Space Forces Association’s Air, Space and Cyber Conference Sept. 16-18, 2024, in National Harbor, Maryland. LCAAPS leverages best practices of consumer industries to rapidly develop and build autonomous collaborative platforms in large numbers, with the goal of achieving affordable mass by streamlining the design and development process. The XQ-67A, the first of a second generation of autonomous collaborative platforms, proves the feasibility of this approach and demonstrates how wholly new acquisition processes can deliver capability to the warfighter more quickly and efficiently.
