Accelerate Change: Empowered Airmen

We live in a world that is driven by rapidly changing technology and an environment that includes aggressive and capable global competitors. Airmen are key to cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, recognizing and understanding our competition, and thinking of creative ways we can reshape the design of our Air Force. The Air Force must accelerate, must change, and must prepare for the future!

This page is dedicated towards highlighting the accomplishments of our talented Airmen at all levels and to show the impact they can make when they are informed and empowered to problem solve and make smart recommendations and decisions.

Employing a Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) surrogate with Screening Obscurant Modules (SOMs)
DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center

CCDC Ground Vehicle Systems Center has installed two Screening Obscurant Modules (SOMs) on a Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) surrogate. The SMET with SOM was teleoperationally-controlled from a Stryker C2 (command and control) vehicle... approximately 1 km away. This Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) vehicle has an effective line of sight (LOS) range of 1-2 km and the potential for increased range with beyond line of sight (BLOS) retransmission capability. The SMET with SOM provides obscuration, one of the Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) functions assessed at the Robotic Concept at Yakima Training Center, late May and early June 2019.
