Armies rarely measure their success by the roads they've paved or the rail lines they've laid down — but that may be the metric Russia is using in occupied portions of Ukraine, where major infrastructure projects are underway or are being planned.

The Air Force has been testing directed energy weapons—i.e., lasers, high-powered electromagnetic and other radiological weapons—and plans to integrate them into its planes and wargames by next year. But the service still isn't sure how those weapons will affect the people that use them. Air Force Materiel Command announced the award of a $30.8 million contract to General Dynamics Information Technology to establish a rigorous research and testing methodology to establish “scientifically based health and safety standards,” according to a notice on FedBizOpps. The contract is not looking at what happens to humans targeted by directed energy weapons, but rather “to promote maximum use of [radio frequency/high-power microwave] technologies while protecting Air Force personnel from radiation hazards and minimizing negative operational impact,” according to solicitation information archived on BidNet.com. “This requires an extensive research program in dosimetry and bioeffects of ... radiation.” The research contract also calls for GDIT to create “exposure assessment tools” that will alert operators when they have had too much contact with certain forms of energy radiation and preempt over-exposure. The results of this research will be integrated with U.S. and international health and safety standards and adopted by the Air Force Surgeon General for Occupational Health and Environmental Safety. “Our goal is to provide the USAF with the world's best ... radiation bioeffects research and science-based exposure standards, allowing maximum safe exploitation of [directed energy] for national defense,” the solicitation states. https://www.nextgov.com/emerging-tech/2019/09/air-force-spend-31m-research-how-lasers-energy-weapons-affect-operators/159675/

Boeing has given an F/A-18 a new lease on life after delivering the first Super Hornet under the service life modification program to the U.S. Navy. The second SLM jet will be delivered by the end of the month, and Boeing will deliver the third F/A-18 in April. The initial Super Hornets delivered from the program will extend the service life from 6,000 to 7,500 flight hours. Future modification plans in the early 2020s will enable the jets to fly 10,000 hours and incorporate the new Block III capabilities. “SLM is going to provide a critical resource for the Navy to re-capitalize on long-serving aircraft to return them to the fleet in a near new condition,” said Capt Stephen May, PMA-265 co-lead for E/F/G Air Vehicles. “It will reduce burden on our maintainers, our supply system and our depot level assets within the enterprise.” There are now 15 Super Hornets in the SLM program on production lines in St. Louis and San Antonio. It takes 18 months to complete modifications on an F/A-18, although that time will be driven down to one year as the program progresses. Boeing will deliver five more Super Hornets this year. The Block III conversion will include enhanced network capability, conformal fuel tanks, an advanced cockpit system, signature improvements and an enhanced communication system. The updates are expected to keep the F/A-18 in active service for decades to come. https://www.skiesmag.com/press-releases/boeing-delivers-first-fa-18-service-life-modification-jet-to-u-s-navy
