Service Chiefs Preparing for Major Defense Budget Cuts
MOAA Veterans Update
On April 25, Service Personnel Chiefs testified about the FY2013 budget submission before the Senate Armed Services Personnel Subcommittee chaired by Senator Jim Webb (D-VA).
Thomas R. Lamont, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, outlined the difficult decisions the Army staff has made concerning personnel reductions, which represents more than 45% of the Army’s overall annual costs. They are presently planning to draw down 70,000 servicemembers in the next five years.
Roughly 24,000 enlisted personnel and between 4,000 and 5,000 officers will be forced to leave the Army. The remainder of the reductions will be achieved through attrition, Lamont said.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) commented with dismay that “many of those people have served multiple tours for us” and their forced departure will have a negative impact.
According to Lamont, the Army continues to examine its force structure and the need to shift more capabilities into the reserve forces which may be required to provide a significant portion of our future combat punch.
Both Sen. Ayotte and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) spoke out against the reductions, reminding all that America has never been very good at predicting military threats.
Lamont also pressed committee members to approve Pentagon-proposed TRICARE fee hikes, stating that TRICARE “is a superb health benefit, one of the best in the country…but the time has come to scale back…just as in all areas of the defense budget, we need to make decisions that preserve a strong benefit yet reflect the fiscal realities of the times.”
“The proposed TRICARE fees reflect appropriate adjustments,” added Juan Garcia, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.

U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) Adds ‘Energy Challenge’ to Asia Pacific Defense Energy Technology Challenge in Honolulu, Hawaii
Pacific Region / PACOM Jobs | Hawaii Jobs
HONOLULU, HI /PRNewswire/ ~ In conjunction with the Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit, the United States Pacific Command (PACOM) will review technology solutions for the Transformative Reductions in Operational Energy Consumption (TROPEC) program.
The TROPEC program is focused on reducing operational energy consumption at PACOM expeditionary basing by 25 percent in less than three years.
Key areas of interest include: HVAC, structures, computing, lighting, electronics, and other loads (water heating, pumping, etc.). Solutions must reduce energy usage, demonstrate high performance in a tropical environment, and focus on key energy consuming activities at an expeditionary base.
“We are pleased to have PACOM continue their involvement in the CTSI Defense Energy Technology Challenge (DETC) and include the TROPEC program in this year’s Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit, the addition of the TROPEC challenge will increase the number of quality companies interacting with officials from the U.S. military,” says Patricia Glaza, chair of the DETC and principal at Arsenal Venture Partners.
Key solution areas for this year’s DETC challenge include: biofuels, energy efficiency, smart grid and renewable energy; however, all clean technology companies are invited to submit into the program for consideration. A defense/governmental/expert group will review all solutions and consider them for both the DETC and TROPEC challenges. Organizations with the top solutions will present to a panel with officials from PACOM, Army, Navy, Air Force and Army Corp of Engineers during the Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit in August 2012.

U.S. Air Force Develops NASA’s New UAV/UAS MUTT ~ Built by Lockheed Martin
UAV/UAS Jobs | NASA Jobs | Aerospace Jobs | Lockheed Martin Jobs
U.S. Air Force Develops NASA’s New UAV/UAS MUTT – Built by Lockheed Martin
NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center soon will have a new dog in the yard, and it’s a real MUTT. That’s short for the Multi-Use Technology Testbed, a small unmanned aircraft being developed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to test technologies that will be needed for new kinds of lightweight, flexible aircraft.
MUTT is one of the Air Force‘s newest X-planes, designated X-56A. The 7.5-foot-long aircraft has a 28-foot wingspan and will be powered by two 52-pound thrust JetCat P200-SX turbine engines. It is being built in California under contract to Lockheed Martin Corp., which will conduct the flight experiments for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
X-56A MUTT aircraft 
Dryden will oversee the flights for AFRL during summer 2012, and then take ownership of the X-56A MUTT for follow-on research after the Air Force tests are finished in early autumn.
“Flexible wings and fuselages can result in significant reductions in the structural weight of aircraft,” says Gary Martin, deputy project manager for NASA’s Subsonic Fixed Wing Project at Dryden.
But unlike the short, stiff wings found on most aircraft today, long, thin wings like those on the X-56A are susceptible to uncontrollable vibrations, called flutter, that result from the force of air flowing over them. Thin wings can also be stressed by bending forces from wind gusts and atmospheric turbulence.
“To maintain the long-term health of the structure and ride quality in a more flexible airplane, we need to actively alleviate gust loads on the airplane and suppress flutter, so gust load alleviation and active flutter suppression are two of the key technologies that NASA is working to advance,” Martin said.
MUTT is designed to address this problem by enabling engineers to practice suppressing flutter by adjusting software programs in the aircraft’s flight control computer. With MUTT, researchers also expect to learn how better to ease gust loads, which will make flexible airplanes safer when they experience in-flight turbulence.
Although the X-56A MUTT is a low-speed, subsonic, sub-scale research aircraft, aircraft that fly faster than the speed of sound also can benefit from this research. The knowledge gained about flutter and gust suppression will be used in designing the proposed supersonic X-54, an aircraft that will demonstrate sonic boom-quieting technologies that could someday alleviate the noise concerns currently preventing supersonic commercial flight over land in the United States.
