Among all the space action over the past year, AFRL’s push to expand military space operations to cislunar space — the vast volume of space between the Earth’s outer orbit and that of the Moon — and beyond has been a gift that keeps on giving.
By Theresa Hitchens“Air and missile defense, long-range precision fires, assured position navigation and timing — all of these rely on space-enabled capabilities and access to space,” said Tom Webber, director of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command Technical Center.
By Theresa HitchensThe first-of-its-kind device, a vacuum chamber for containing clouds of atomic particles that drive quantum sensors, is about the size of an avocado.
By Theresa HitchensBrig. Gen. William Glaser, head of the Army’s Synthetic Training Environment effort, said his team is “very proud” of One World Terrain because it “really just started off as an idea within the simulations community, but it’s expanded out significantly into the operational community.”
By Theresa HitchensLeonardo DRS’ AC²ES Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing solution for MFoCS-equipped tactical vehicles creates a bridging and interim capability to fill a gap.
