DAYTON, Ohio - The Air Force Research Laboratory will have a unique opportunity to showcase some of its groundbreaking technologies at the first ever Department of Defense Lab Day to be held at the Pentagon in Washington, May 14.
AFRL is researching game-changing technologies like autonomy, hypersonics, directed energy, and nanoscience to give Air Force warfighters the edge in any fight. As the Air Force's Technology Executive Officer, Masiello is responsible for managing the $2.1 billion Air Force S&T investment and an additional $2.3 billion in externally funded research and development.
A few of the 26 technologies that AFRL will highlight at DoD Lab Day include: the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS) which automatically takes control of a fighter aircraft to avoid impending ground collisions and which has already saved the lives of two pilots and F-16s; Battlefield Air Targeting Man-Aided kNowledge (BATMAN), a family of capabilities that enhance warfighter performance, making battlefield Airmen lighter, smarter, and more lethal; Directed Energy and Electro-Optics for Space Superiority (DEOSS), focused on understanding threats in space; and the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), a mobile geospatial infrastructure that promotes unprecedented team collaboration, allowing teams to share situational awareness information and collaborate in real time.
