Motorists urged to drive cautiously as peak deer-vehicle collision season returns

Motorists traveling on and around Arnold Air Force Base should always assume they are driving through deer habitat. Based on the geospatial probability analysis represented in this map, there appear to be areas at Arnold where deer-vehicle collisions are more concentrated and pose a higher risk.

Investment prepares AEDC to test next-gen engines

Heat exchangers will be installed on the framework, shown in this image taken Sept. 14, 2021, at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., inside of exhaust cooler 1 of the Aeropropulsion Systems Test Facility to increase the volume of exhaust that can be cooled in the time it takes for it to flow from the test cells to the exhausters. The heat exchangers are part of the Next Generation Turbine Engine Test Capability project to restore capability lost through aging of the facility and increase capability. The hole shown in the top of the duct was cut to allow installation of the heat exchangers. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jill Pickett)

Modernization effort underway to keep Holloman High Speed Test Track on the rails

A guidance and navigation test article sits on the Holloman High Speed Test Track for launch at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. The HHSTT is operated by the 846th Test Squadron, a unit of the 704th Test Group of the Arnold Engineering Development Complex, headquartered at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn. Personnel in the 846 TS are currently exploring the modernization of test track to extend its lifespan and further aid in the development of hypersonic systems. (U.S. Air Force photo)

Modernization effort underway to keep Holloman High Speed Test Track on the rails

A Holloman High Speed Test Track crew secures Lt. Col. John Stapp into the “Sonic Wind No. 1” rocket sled at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. It was at the HHSTT that Stapp earned the title of “Fastest Man on Earth.” During a launch on Dec. 10, 1954, a sled ridden by Stapp traveled at a speed of 632 miles per hour. Stapp endured around 40 times the pull of the earth’s gravity. This ride broke the land speed record. This was among several records set at the HHSTT, and the test track’s history is one of the reasons the 846th Test Squadron, which operates the more-than-70-year-old facility, is exploring its modernization. The 846 TS is a unit of the 704th Test Group of the Arnold Engineering Development Complex, headquartered at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn. (U.S. Air Force photo)
