TRAINING SESSIONS

 
8:00 AM

Introduction to Gas Turbine Cycles

Mr. Ryan Battelle, USAF

An introduction to aeropropulsion applications of the Brayton cycle. This class is designed to cover topics of interest to those with no engineering or thermodynamic background as well as those with substantial education or experience in the gas turbine industry. Topics include: engine and cycle types, component design drivers, overall industry trends, and current technology focus.

 
8:00 AM

Introduction to Hybrid Electric Power & Propulsion

Mr. Anthony Cerminaro, USAF

This tutorial will introduce the audience to hybrid electric architectures, provide general design considerations and challenges, discuss Lithium-ion batteries, cover basic propulsion design criteria, and present electric machine sizing and weight calculations.

 
8:00 AM

Wargaming

Dr. Ronald Simmons, USAF

An introduction to USAF wargaming: it's theory, practice, and use in setting technical investment strategy. Topics include specific software packages favored by USAF, a review of the process to have concepts used within a wargame, and distribution of the results. Intended primarily for beginners, this short course provides a foundation for understanding how technical and operational concepts evolve from discovery to demonstration to fielding.

 
8:00 AM

Additive Manufacturing

Mr Gregory Colvin, Honeywell Engines

Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a still developing manufacturing technology is ready to support some DoD mechanical hardware applications. This training session will cover details on applying AM for military, DMSMS and Sustainment applications. It will address topics including current AM technology status, part qualification, design, manufacturing practices, inspection techniques and secondary part processing. The Training sessions’ focus will be on Laser Powder Bend Fusion (LPBF) however, other AM technologies will be discussed. This Training Session is recommended for those interested in learning more about Additive Manufacturing, its current status for supporting Turbine Engine hardware and how to leverage this new emerging technology for DoD applications.
