AFRL leads USSF Continuous Fitness Assessment study

Guardians attend a Continuous Fitness Assessment, or CFA, study informational session hosted by an Air Force Research Laboratory team at a facility near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, June 8, 2023. The CFA study is a two-year voluntary effort with Guardians to assess the use of wearable fitness devices that measure physical activity. Guardians who pre-enrolled in the study received watches along with guidance on participation requirements. The CFA is part of the U.S. Space Force’s Holistic Health Approach, an initiative that promotes wellness through positive behaviors and seeks to replace traditional military fitness tests with data from continuous monitoring technology.

Christian Potts, left, and Program Manager Amy Burns, right, watch from the simulation control room at AFRL’s Aerospace Systems Directorate while 2nd Lt. Ryan Collins demonstrates automatic fly up maneuvers in a virtual flight simulator generated by the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System, or Auto GCAS, Dec. 6, 2022, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Auto GCAS is a software update developed by AFRL, Lockheed Martin and NASA that prevents an aircraft from impacting the ground by automatically pulling the aircraft up before an accident can occur.

F-35 test pilot Dan Levin, F-35 Pax River Integrated Test Force, flies an Auto Ground Collision Avoidance System, or Auto-GCAS, test flight in an F-35C on a low level through West Virginia, June 17, 2019. Flying the low level helps stress the Auto-GCAS software to confirm there are no false collision warnings while flying as close to the ground as operationally representative.

AFRL helps NASA test equipment for Artemis II mission

The Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL, and NASA staff adjust Campos, a fire and rescue training manikin, in the seat at the sled test facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, April 17, 2023. AFRL and NASA, along with other industry partners, such as Lockheed Martin, tested the most current iteration of an astronaut crew seat and flight suit that will be used on the Orion spacecraft during the next mission to the moon under the Artemis Program. The manikin used in the testing was Campos, named after the legendary Arturo Campos, an electrical engineer who was instrumental to saving the Apollo 13 crew. Campos is accurately weighed and has the appropriate density of a human for testing. (U.S. Air Force photo / Rick Eldridge)

Bioinformatics Team Lead Dr. Blake Stamps pipettes biological samples for use in a DNA sequencer, an instrument that researchers in the Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL’s, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate use to read DNA samples and generate high-quality electronic data pertaining to the muskox genome, in the Synthetic Biology Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, May 10, 2023. Scientists are most interested in the genomic information most closely associated with the thinness of muskox wool fibers, as thinner fibers provide greater thermal insulating properties.
