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.

AFRL demonstrates new augmented reality capability to improve DAF nondestructive inspections
An Airman from the U.S. Air Force’s 19th Maintenance Group prepares to perform a virtual bolt hole eddy current inspection using the Augmented Reality for Nondestructive Evaluation, or ARNE, system at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, in December 2022. ARNE utilizes augmented reality, or AR, a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image onto a user’s view of the real world. The system projects relevant three-dimensional hologram images onto physical aircraft parts and virtually “walks” technicians through the process of performing a BHEC procedure, a critical aircraft safety inspection used to detect the presence of fatigue cracks in DAF fleets.

AFRL demonstrates new augmented reality capability to improve DAF nondestructive inspections
A senior Airman from the U.S. Air Force’s 19th Maintenance Group tests the Augmented Reality for Nondestructive Evaluation, or ARNE, system using a bolt hole eddy current, or BHEC, inspection review module at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, in December 2022. BHEC inspection is used for safety critical structural applications when other methods do not meet capability requirements, said Dr. Eric Lindgren, nondestructive technology lead, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate. As the procedure requires removal of fasteners, it is the method of “last resort” to address safety critical applications, and as such is not frequently performed by many U.S. Air Force NDI technicians. ARNE provides airmen the opportunity to review BHEC inspection procedures virtually to increase confidence. (U.S. Air Force photo)

AFRL researcher impacts community with runtime assurance
An F-35 Lightning II from the 461st Flight Test Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base, California, soars over the Mojave Desert on a test sortie. Runtime assurance, or RTA, is used in various systems, most notably the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System, or Auto GCAS, which is used in the F-35 to prevent aircraft from ground collision by automatically controlling the aircraft, saving lives and aircraft. Dr. Kerianne Hobbs, safe autonomy and space lead with the Autonomy Capability Team, or ACT3, for the Sensors Directorate at AFRL, was the lead author of a 38-page spread in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Control Systems Magazine, titled Runtime assurance for safety-critical systems: An introduction to safety filtering approaches for complex control systems, for her extensive research in runtime assurance.

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.

AFRL researcher impacts community with runtime assurance
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.
