TAW prototype A

Maj. Adam Faltersack, an anesthesia element chief, 81st Surgical Operations Squadron, Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, uses prototype A of the tactical anesthesia workstation, or TAW, April 8, 2022, during a Ground Surgical Team, or GST, training course at U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Maj. Thomas Heering, an austere anesthesia cadre for the GST, 711th Human Performance Wing, Air Force Research Laboratory, submitted the TAW idea to Spark Tank in 2021, and the idea moved forward with a team of engineers in the rapid prototyping cell, or RPC. The RPC team developed the three prototypes for testing beginning in January 2022, and have since narrowed it down to one winning prototype. The team will push the recommended prototype to the GST pilot group for further deliberation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Aleah Castrjon)
