AEDC Innovation Grant research generates tactical solution for test facility security

Chris Carr, an AEDC Instrumentation, Data and Controls engineer, demonstrates how the Cross-Domain Solution, or CDS, works Feb. 12, 2020, at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn. The CDS interface was researched as a solution to allow plant operations systems outside of the plant control room to remain unclassified during classified test programs. As part of an AEDC Innovation Grant project, Carr and several AEDC team members worked together to determine whether plant control parameters could be normalized with the addition of a CDS.

Randall Moon, an ATA instrument technician in AEDC’s Aerothermodynamic Measurement Laboratory, poses by the electric-powered truck he built from the frame up in his spare time. Even the reinforced leaf springs and 65-psi tires are unique; these modifications were needed because the truck weighs more than two tons due to rows of lead acid batteries in the truck’s bed.
