The Lab is working with the Joint Forces Command Joint Futures Laboratory and with the Joint C4ISR Battle Center in this first of a series of tests that will help transform joint warfighting. APL has assessed data collected during the experiment and will report the findings. The Laboratory has agreed to license its Micro Digital Solar Attitude Detector Chip technology to Goodrich s Space and Electro Optical Systems Division. The technology reduces an entire solar detector instrument used by spacecraft navigation and control systems to find the sun to a microchip. The center is able to simulate specific crash scenarios to understand how the human body responds to various forces ranging from automobile accidents to the load on pilots necks when they eject from military aircraft.
Researchers can also look at the broader picture and study methods for avoiding crashes.
Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, Strike Technology Division, the work supports the Navy s Hypersonic Weapon Technology Program. Clandestine drug labs not only pose a serious health threat to society, but also endanger DEA agents and local law enforcement personnel responsible for securing those labs. Local agents are rarely provided the formalized drug lab training available to DEA agents. The interactive scenarios will present users with tailored and randomly generated types of drug labs they are likely to encounter in the field . Lab Names CIO APL has appointed Eric Bohn as Chief Information Officer.
