Welcome to the U.S. Military’s Not-So-New Technology Troubles
Condition-based maintenance needs to be carefully monitored with a vigilant eye to both ensure safe and effective functionality and reduce costs.
Imagine that the engine rotations on an Abrams main battle tank experience a potentially critical malfunction while conducting a high risk-combat mission or that a fighter jet operates with electronic systems nearing a point of operational failure. How can a person identify these impediments or potential problems and quickly correct them?
Repair procedures, sustainment details and key parameters of what’s called condition-based maintenance all need to be carefully monitored with a vigilant eye to both ensure safe and effective functionality and reduce costs. Industry and the military services are increasingly looking to artificial-intelligence-enabled “augmented reality” technology to perform these critical functions to lower costs and massively streamline these essent
More Missiles: Is This China’s War Strategy Against America?
The Chinese DF-21D and DF-26 continue to get a lot of attention as tested operational weapons armed with various explosives and long-range precision guidance systems.
Here s What You Need to Remember: The distance from Beijing, China to Tokyo, Japan, for instance, is listed as 1,304 miles, a distance well within the attack range of the DF-26’s 2,000-mile strike range (note: some sources have this as higher). This tactical threat scenario also applies to large numbers of crucial U.S. surveillance and strike platform assets based in Guam and the Korean Peninsula.

Alexis Gerst ’17 was familiar with managing remote teams before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the professional landscape. As a commissioned officer and acquisition program manager with the U.S. Air Force, her team teleworked one day per week.
As more organizations are considering and adopting permanent policies around distributed work, Gerst saw an opportunity to develop a remote leadership resource to help employees navigate the long-term plan. Earlier this month, she published her first book, “Leading Remote Teams: Embrace the Future of Remote Work Culture,” and shared some details about the process and her military business background in a Q&A with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU).

Staff Sgt. Taylor Mogford, 433rd Logistics Readiness Squadron individual protective equipment supervisor, here, and his team presented their ideas for revamping logistics training at the virtual 2021 Logistics Officer Association Symposium, April 2.
During the 2019 LOA Symposium, the Aether Sprint program provided a platform where a source team of Airmen tackled topics originating from the “What frustrates you most about Air Force logistics?” concept.
According to LOA Symposium website, Aether Sprint is a platform for logistics Airmen (maintenance, munitions, and logistics readiness) to have a voice and solve day-to-day issues with Air Force-wide impacts.
While deployed in 2020, Mogford assembled a team of Reserve and active-duty members who chose to solve the topic of “Reduction of waste and time for training and certification for the Logistic Airman.”
