Happy National Nanotechnology Day! The AFRL Lab Life podcast had the privilege to go "big to nano" with a slew of experts in the field of Nanotechnology with partners from the National Nanotechnology Initiative! ??? Listen in to hear how our organizations are partnering with government agencies, industry and academia to toward the shared vision of a future in which the ability to understand and control matter at the nanoscale leads to ongoing revolutions in technology and industry that benefit society. #AFResearchLab | #NNCO | #NanoTech | #NationalNanoDay | #NanoDay2024

Shanel Fultz is the deputy director of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Small Business Office. Her leadership role focuses on representing AFRL by creating and improving relationships with external businesses, academia, non-profits and other potential partners. Fultz states that the AFRL mission is important because “we are an organization that thrives on research and development, and those technologies and innovations go directly to supporting the warfighter, working to serve our country, and deterring our advisories.” Growing up in the Dayton, Ohio area, she described the experience as “growing up just outside the fence” due to her close proximity to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. She attributes that closeness to being a part of why she eventually chose to work for the United States Air Force. When asked the question, what does Hispanic Heritage month mean to her Fultz states, “Hispanic Heritage Month speaks to me as a Mexican American and is very powerful. It allows us as Hispanic people to share our cultures, stories, and contributions to this country.” Shanel advises others who are looking to have a similar career to “be a continuous learner, get out there, be present, be proactive, and connect with people, which showcases you and helps your career.” #AFResearchLab | #HispanicHeritageMonth | #EmployeeSpotlight

It's World Space Week! ?? Navigation Technology Satellite-3, or NTS-3, is an experimental platform designed to demonstrate technologies to increase resiliency, robustness and reprogrammability of Position, Navigation, and Timing functionality in space. NTS-3 will be the Department of Defense’s first experimental, integrated navigation satellite system in nearly 50 years. NTS-3 builds on the legacy of NTS-1 and NTS-2, which were launched in the 1970’s, and it will push the boundary of today’s space-based position, navigation, and timing technology to pave the way for a more robust, resilient, and responsive architecture for satellite navigation technology. ???

Join our team! ?????????

In a an increasingly complex age, the future of military operations lies in the seamless collaboration between humans and machines. At the Air Force Research Laboratory, we're pushing the boundaries of human-machine teaming, developing technologies that empower Airmen and Guardians to make faster, better, and more accurate decisions. #AFResearchLab | #HumanMachineTeaming | #AFRLTech |

Each October, the United States Department of Defense honors National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), celebrating the invaluable contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. It is also a time when the DoD reaffirms its dedication to fostering a work environment that is supportive and all-encompassing, showcasing policies and practices that benefit all employees and contribute to overall workforce strength. This year’s theme, “Access to Good Jobs for All,” underscores the DoD’s commitment to enhancing employment opportunities for people with disabilities. This October, the DoD encourages organizations and individuals to focus not only on raising awareness about the employment of individuals with disabilities but also on celebrating their achievements. Together, we can illuminate the path toward more supportive and impartial policies that are mutually beneficial, paving the way for a more adaptive and resilient workforce. #AFResearchLab | #NDEAM | #USAirForce | #USSpaceForce

Imagine electronic pulses in space that block the reception of legitimate signals and replace them with counterfeits. That’s not science fiction. In today’s era of great power competition, it’s science fact. Learn more about the space threats that inspired the creation of the United States Space Force five years ago.
