Summary
Industry Day Presentation: The AMCOM Industry Day briefing charts provide a detailed overview of the RX Materials Characterization Facility (MCF) presented by Sabyasachi Ganguli and Todd Butler from the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate. The presentation includes a tour schedule of the facility, highlighting the main building (Bldg 655) and satellite instruments (Bldg 654), followed by a question and answer session. Key mission statements from the United States Air Force and AFRL emphasize innovation, discovery, and development of affordable warfighting technologies for air, space, and cyberspace forces. The MCF's mission is to support AFRL's S&T mission through advanced characterization techniques and expertise, with over $15M in analytical microscopes and equipment available for research purposes. The facility offers various capabilities such as SEM, TEM, FIB, X-ray diffraction, and remote collaboration opportunities with state-of-the-art instrumentation.
This presentation underscores the importance of seamless integration, application, and development of advanced characterization techniques to meet AFRL/RX research missions while balancing strategic planning and fiscal constraints. The MCF provides dedicated staff support for users and new capability development within a 6500 ft2 space equipped with prime capabilities like materials preparation labs, optical microscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and data processing/reconstruction tools. Additionally, the facility offers remote access to cutting-edge instrumentation through collaborations with other facilities like the Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis. The presentation highlights the MCF's commitment to fostering a culture of experimentation through open access to its facilities for various stakeholders including tech directorates, AFIT, university-industry collaborations, CRADA partners, and external entities seeking advanced materials analysis services.
