✈️For one AFMC family, Hanscom Air Force Base is not only home, but it's a place of legacy

Today, seven members of the Goeke family work across the acquisition enterprise in contracting, program management, budgeting and financial management, bringing more than 120 years of service. Though their roles differ, they share a common purpose: supporting those who depend on the capabilities developed and acquired here.

🛫Removing the rubber from the road....

Every time an aircraft touches down on a runway, rubber builds up in the areas where an aircraft wheels are stationary until complete touchdown. The brief “drag” before the tires catch up creates extreme friction and heat, behind which leaves behind a layer of polymerized, hardened rubber, which can pose an operational safety risk.

At Eglin Air Force Base, to ensure our runways remain safe and operable, teams work round the clock for two weeks straight annually to water blast this rubber off of the runway, repainting lines and ensuring safe passage for future flights.

By focusing on safety, we keep our missions operational and our people safe.

🧠Leveraging the brain power of our Airmen and civilians coupled with Super Intelligence to drive change into our processes!

The leadership team at Ogden Air Logistics Complex at Hill Air Force Base challenged its workforce to identify ways to integrate Super Intelligence directly into maintenance, engineering, and training workflows.

Early results of the effort found ways to slash training curriculum production timelines, automate data workflows, efficiently conduct technical research for ABDR and more!

Results from the pilot period will inform future governance, workforce development and secure software-deployment processes.

By using smart tech to handle repetitive administrative tasks and speed up technical research, we are giving valuable time back to our workforce.

🚀And you thought drone delivery was cutting edge....

Rocket Cargo is an Air Force Research Laboratory - AFRL project to determine the viability of using large commercial liquid-propellant rockets to rapidly deliver materiel anywhere on the globe on tactical timelines.

A recent test used a SpaceX Starfall capsule to analyze the use of lab-developed agile cargo pods to transport cargo through space. Each pod contained representative mission equipment and environmental sensors to evaluate payload integrity during launch and reentry. This included analysis of electronics equipment and survival gear, including a SATCOM-enabled tracker, batteries, a reverse osmosis desalinator, survival gear, and emergency medical equipment.

In the future this technology could support rapid global mobility to contested environments and austere sites without access to runways and roads, supporting logistics, expeditionary operations, rescue operations, disaster relief, and response to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) hazards.

We're developing capabilities for the future today!
