Tech. Sgt. John Rodiguez, 321st Contingency Response Squadron security team, patrols with a Ghost Robotics Vision 60 prototype at a simulated austere base during the Advanced Battle Management System exercise on Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Sept. 3, 2020. The ABMS is an interconnected battle network - the digital architecture or foundation - which collects, processes and shares data relevant to warfighters in order to make better decisions faster. In order to achieve all-domain superiority, it requires that individual military activities not simply be de-conflicted, but rather integrated – activities in one domain must enhance the effectiveness of those in another domain.

(Thermoplastic) Flower in the Sun. Stimuli-responsive polymers have gained increasing attention for their applications ranging from soft robotic grippers to actuators. By controlling strain within thin thermoplastic sheets, these small grippers can transform into three-dimensional shapes based on a photothermal response and withstand loads more than 24,000 times their own mass.

Carbon Nano Shish Kabob. This science as art piece is created by the scanning electron microscope image. Carbon nanotubes were deposited on carbon fibers via chemical vapor deposition method. The overgrowth of carbon nanotubes on carbon fibers created the shish kabob like carbon nanostructure. (Courtesy photo/Yixin Ren)

AFRL Technology traveling to Mars

An important AFRL innovation that supported the deployment of the Ingenuity helicopter is a software suite called Veritrek that spun out of AFRL research and funding that began in 2009.

U.S. Air Force Airmen monitor computers in support of the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Onramp 2, Sept 2, 2020 at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. The effect ABMS is attempting to achieve is Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). JADC2 is meant to accelerate the speed of the kill chain by connecting sensors to shooters. ABMS is the digital infrastructure which allows a level of connectivity and [sensor] compatibility for our military at war. As a new Joint Warfighting Concept, Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) seeks to create simultaneous dilemmas for adversary forces, overwhelming them with too many challenges to counter successfully (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Daniel Hernandez)
