Participants from across the Department of Defense, private industry and academia gather at Letterkenny Army Depot Feb. 9 for a demonstration of the latest applications of cold spray technology. LEAD integrated cold spray to mitigate corrosion on Army systems in the past year, and engineers are looking to leverage the technology further. “Cold spray is an additive manufacturing technology that we’re using to repair parts,” said Ashley Filling, a production engineer at LEAD. “Unlike other additive manufacturing technologies that are used to make parts, cold spray is used to repair many different materials. We’re focusing on several aluminum alloys and a high-hard steel repair.” The demonstration held Feb. 9 focused on robotic and mobile cold spray applications. These applications will help to expand LEAD’s cold spray capabilities. (U.S. Army photo by Dorie Heyer)

C5ISR Center teamed up with Army Soldiers for five weeks during Project Convergence 22 to test prototypes during force-on-force experimentation. Engineers and scientists worked closely with Soldiers to gather feedback on ways to improve functionality of technologies critical to achieving overmatch of the Army’s adversaries. During the exercise, Soldiers tested the Advanced Targeting and Lethality Aided System (ATLAS) which demonstrated a wide range of aided target acquisition, tracking and reporting capabilities while operating in a realistic combat environment.
