Half-Century of AEDC Support for F100 Engine Approaches by Bradley Hicks AEDC Public Affairs PRSRT STD US POSTAGE PAID TULLAHOMA TN Vol. 66, No. 23 Arnold AFB, Tenn. PERMIT NO. 29 December 2, 2019 Half-century of AEDC support for F100 engine approaches By Bradley Hicks AEDC Public Affairs When the F100 engine was tested at Arnold Engineer- ing Development Complex near the end of the 1960s, it marked the beginning of what would become a long- standing relationship. Throughout the subsequent 50 years, variants of the F100, the propulsion unit used to power the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon, would undergo thousands of hours of testing at Arnold across numerous facilities with- in the complex. Arnold has continued its support of the F100 ever since the first test. “The F100 engine powers fighter aircraft vital to the defense of our nation,” said Lt. Col. Lane Haubelt, AEDC Aeropropulsion Combined Test Force director. “The proud and continuing legacy of the U.S. Air Force F-15 and F-16 aircraft is rooted in the successful develop- ment, fielding and sustainment of this workhouse engine. AEDC remains at the center of that success. The F100 en- gine program also highlights the importance of an endur- ing and integrated relationship between AEDC, engine manufacturers, engine program offices and the end user. “As we look toward the future, strong and trust-based relationships with our national security partners are essen- tial to accomplishing our mission.” Arnold Engineering Development Complex team members Joan Clark and Paul Buckner verify locations of instrumentation for troubleshooting discrepancies during a break in a test run of a F100 engine in the J-1 Test Cell at AEDC in 2011. This month marks the 50th anniversary of the first test of the F100 at Arnold See F100, page 4 Air Force Base.

At the time of his death, Tatigian, the longest serving civil servant in the history of the DoD, was serving as Naval Sea Systems Command’s (NAVSEA) Small Business Advocate. “Mr. Tatigian truly lived a life dedicated to advocacy and the service of others,” said NAVSEA Executive Director James Smerchansky. “His decades of work oversaw the expansion of the small business industrial base and more than $100 bil- lion in contracts awarded to diverse, small businesses. As we bid fair winds and following seas to Mr. Tatigian, NAVSEA will greatly miss his presence, but we will never forget the positive impact he made on this command and the entire U.S. Navy.” Tatigian’s civilian career with the Navy began in July 1942 as a junior radio inspector at the naval aircraft factory in the Philadelphia Navy Yard and the Navy Office of Inspector of Naval Aircraft in Linden, New Jersey.

  • WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL)
    WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL) Within the Western Regional Partnership (WRP) region, there are significant military testing and training installations and ranges. WRP developed summaries from all of the Services and the National Guard, describing the history, missions, and importance of these assets. These summaries use only publicly available information and are written for the policy maker new to military issues and the military savvy person needing specific military information. It is our hope that WRP Partners use these summaries as a tool for land use planning efforts to encourage compatible growth and ensure future mission viability. Incompatible development (encroachment) comes in many forms but for the military, it means those issues that affect their ability to fulfill their mission on land, in the sea, or in the air. These military summaries are for general planning purposes.

  • DOCA Hill-Ogden Conference Notes
    DOCA Hill-Ogden Conference Notes Notes from March 1-3, 2020 by DOCA Member Lynn M. Boughey (’94) (All presentations and tours UNCLASSIFIED) If one word is best attributed to Hill Air Force Base and its many interrelated missions, it would be the word “legacy.” Everywhere you turn, there are reflections of what once was, what has become, and what the future will hold. From their world-class museum to state-of-the-art engineering and computer modeling, to the newest fighter jet available – the entire base lets the young airmen, civilians, and contractors walk in the footsteps of those who came before them, leading us quietly but most assuredly into a different future that will merge all that was, is, and will be. Attendees and Focus of Conference Forty-seven DOCA members attended the conference from Sunday, March 1 through Tuesday, March 3, 2020. The focus of this conference was the importance of our nation’s nuclear deterrence mission and air superiority. 1 Conference: DOCA Hill-Ogden Conference Notes March 1 - 3 2020 Resting adjacent and along a Western ridge of the Rocky Mountains, Hill Air Force Base looks to the west to views of the Great Salt Lake, and is cradled by mountains both east and west. Hill Air Force Base is an Air Force Material Command (AFMC) base located in northern Utah. It is the Air Force’s second largest space by population and geographic size, and is the home to many operational and support missions along with being the hub of activity for the depot maintenance of numerous aircraft and weapon systems.

PERMIT NO. 29 July 3, 2017 AEDC: 25 years of supporting the warfighter for AFMC By AEDC Public Affairs With more than two decades now un- der its wing, Air Force Materiel Com- mand has provided 25 years of support to America’s warfighters. Since the dedication of the AFMC July 1, 1992, AEDC, an Air Force Test Center organization, has played a major role in warfighter development. Headquartered at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, the command is based on the concept of Integrated Weapons System Management. This concept en- ables one command to provide “cradle to grave” development and support for weapon systems and gives Air Force operational commands a single source of expertise and support for their aero- space systems. AFMC is responsible for weapon systems such as aircraft, missiles and spacecraft that are developed and ac- quired through AFMC’s product cen- ters, using science and technologies de- veloped at their affiliated laboratories. The systems are then tested at the com- mand’s test centers and are serviced, overhauled and modified at its air logis- tics centers. At the end of their service Col.
