The future of amphibious landings. Thanks to U.S. Naval Research Laboratory & U.S. Army ERDC, @usmc has a new surf observation tool to streamline forecasting surf zone conditions, providing real-time, precise data to make informed decisions when bringing vessels ashore: spr.ly/60190rEH3

Welcome back to Earth, @SpaceForcedod Col. Nick Hague! Hague, the first active-duty Guardian to fly to space, returned this week after 6 months on the International Space Station. His mission included 150+ experiments & a virtual 10-mile race! #NASA #SpaceXCrew9 spaceforce.mil/News/Article-D…

.Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport experts are leading the way in additive manufacturing by creating & repairing parts for the submarine industrial base. Learn more about the facility & its collaborative innovation center that's teaching employees skills to create new tech: defense.gov/News/Feature-S…

These NASA astronauts haven’t forgotten where their careers began. 🎉@spaceforcedod Col. Nick Hague, retired @usnavy Capt. Suni Williams, @usarmy Col. Anne McClain & U.S. Air Force Maj. Nichole Ayers recently repped their service academies in a International Space Station photo!



Unleashing the next generation of talent. Hundreds of high schoolers recently competed at a San Diego FIRST Robotics Competition and were mentored by @usnavy employees who, aside from teaching technical aspects, coached leadership & cooperation skills. #STEM #NAVWAR #robotics



A new Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) forensic anthropologist recently visited Vietnam to recover & identify the remains of fallen service members. The #DPAA’s mentorship system pairs less experienced field personnel with seasoned team members to help navigate the challenges: dpaa.mil/News-Stories/O…


Training @usnavy submariners is getting easier thanks to AR & VR technologies. At Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport, engineers use commercial gaming tech to produce simulations to teach sailors how to maintain the fleet. The applications save time & money, and they're familiar to gaming sailors.



Meet the Space Cowboys! These Vandenberg Space Force Base Guardians handle, transport & position the motors of Minotaur IV rockets that do ballistics tests or deliver satellites into orbit. This team is the DOD’s only expeditionary space launch & transport capability: spaceforce.mil/News/Article-D…

Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The Air Force Research Lab - AFRL is creating seamless #partnerships between pilots and autonomous systems through tech that can understand and adapt to human intent, allowing the U.S. to stay ahead of the #technology hype curve.



The heart of resilient missile warning & tracking. A new Space Systems Command center in Boulder, Colo., is enabling Guardians to monitor space-based sensors & make rapid, data-driven decisions to enhance missile warning & threat responses for the joint force: spaceforce.mil/News/Article-D…


Creating cost-effective solutions for critical problems. At the @usarmy 1st Cavalry Concepts and Capabilities Laboratory, or 1C3 Lab, soldiers are developing new systems using 3D printing hardware to bring problem-solving innovations to 1st Cavalry Division troopers.
