C-5M undergoes ‘super’ upgrade at Edwards by Jet Fabara 412th TW Public Affairs In 2006, the C-5 Galaxy underwent a “super” upgrade to further strengthen the airframe’s worldwide airlift capabilities. Now known as the C-5M Super Galaxy, test teams at Edwards and Dover Air Force Base, Del., are showing why the recent software upgrade to the largest aircraft in the Air Force inventory is no small task. With initial modifications being tested at Dover AFB, the aircraft has been ferried back to Edwards AFB where the remaining flight test sorties are being accomplished during May. “The C-5M Super Galaxy Block 3.5.2 software upgrade is intended to correct 72 deficiency reports that were documented during previous C-5M test programs,” said

Joel Williams, 775th Test Squadron C-5 lead engineer at the 418th Flight Test Squadron. “The results of the 418th FLTS testing of 3.5.2 will help support a fielding decision by the program office at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio,” added Maj. Zackary Schaffer, 418th FLTS C-5 test pilot. “Additionally, data from this testing will be used by the Development System Manager, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/WLS) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, to generate a program assessment summary to verify the C-5M retains the navigational performance and surveillance capabilities necessary for future airspace requirements.” According to the C-5M test team, the systems affected by this

Edwards testers essential to X-51A Waverider success by Laura Mowry Staff Writer When the X-51A Waverider program was established, the test team set out to demonstrate the viability of air-breathing scramjet propulsion. The goal of the $300 million concept-demonstrator program became reality May 1 when the test team achieved a record-setting 210 seconds of airbreathing hypersonic flight. “This mission was a full success. We boosted for roughly 26 seconds and then we were on powered scramjet for three and a half minutes. We flew the mission until we exhausted the fuel. We took aerodynamic data on the cruiser from unpowered all the way until we flew it in the ocean,” said Charlie Brink, X-51A program manager, from the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Aerospace Systems Directorate. The test team gathered 370 seconds of telemetry data as the Waverider traveled 230 nautical miles and reached maximum Mach at 5.1, with a peak altitude of approximately 60,000 feet. The test was executed over the Point Mugu Naval Air Warfare Center Sea Range. It was the fourth and final flight for the X-51A Waverider program, the culmination of knowledge gained and lessons learned from previous flights. “The first flight was in May of 2010, which was a partial success; total flight time on scramjet power was 143 seconds. The second was in June of 2011 and the scramjet engine started and stalled due to excessive See WAVERIDER, Page 8

Getting back to basics; Following standards on base by MSgt Christy Anderson Nellis AFB, Nev. I was in the office and a staff sergeant I work with noticed someone walking across a parking lot to the flight kitchen with no hat and no blouse on. I was shocked at what I saw. So much so, I left the office and went into the flight kitchen to let this person know that he must wear his hat and blouse. There is an authorized no-hat area between Bldg. 285 and the flight kitchen’s eastern entrance. This no-hat area is restricted to walking from Bldg. 285’s north side doors of the flightline-specific gate entryway. I couldn’t find anything that says you can have your blouse off. It’s been amazing to me how some people don’t follow the most basic of standards, and we need to get back to the basics. Being in the military and abiding by the rules isn’t difficult. Most of us had rules growing up, and knowing what the rules and regulations are will save you from the embarrassment of my next story. I occasionally go with Airmen that are taking their fitness assessment. One morning I went with a chief master sergeant and couldn’t believe how many people did not know what to do when reveille sounded. I stood in a sea of Airmen at attention as soon as the music began to play. When reveille sounds you should be at parade rest. After reveille has played, on the first note of the national anthem or

one. It is an easy reference for some very simple rules and guidelines. Another issue that has been repeatedly noticed by our leadership on base is not saluting Being in the military and abiding by the rules isn’t difficult. Most of us staff cars. Make sure had rules growing up, and knowing what the rules and regulations are you are always aware when will save you from the embarrassment of my next story. you’re walking around base. We have “To the Colors,” you snap to attention and salute. Hold your staff cars and need to salute them when we see them. Putting salute until the last note of the music is played. This is in the your head down while walking is not an excuse not to render Professional Development Guide, and it’s very easy to find. the proper courtesy to the Test Center commander and his vice If you don’t have a PDG, get with your first sergeant and get commander, wing commanders and their vice commanders

and group commanders driving their staff cars. I would much rather be the person that looks sharp saluting the staff car than the one the person driving the staff car stops to remind of what her or she is supposed to do. Believe me, the driver will stop the car, and I’m sure it won’t be pleasant. We represent something bigger and have a responsibility to adhere by our Air Force Instructions which are all easily found online. I put in some crazy stuff in search engines and get answers or at least a direction to go. So remember to wear your uniform correctly and wear it proudly. Follow customs and courtesies as they are what define us. We are different, not everyone wears this uniform and it makes us stand out. Always be aware of your surroundings, every good warrior knows what’s going on around them and you never know when someone is watching. I’m proud to be a member of this Air Force, and you should be too!

Edwards shows its appreciation to retirees by Jet Fabara 412th TW Public Affairs More than 100 military retirees, their families and surviving spouses attended the Military Retiree Appreciation Day event held here May 4 at the Oasis Community Center. Of those in attendance, all were treated to financial and healthcare information and services in addition to welcoming remarks from base leaders. “Today, we’re showing our appreciation for all our military retirees and their families. We gathered the bulk of our base support systems that our retirees use so they can get the information and services they need at this event. It’s just a small way of saying thanks and taking care of our predecessors,” said Capt. Allison Bane, 412th Medical Group medical readiness officer and action officer for the event. During the event, information booths were set up throughout the community center with breakout sessions that occurred throughout the morning. Each breakout session was used to discuss the latest information regarding medical benefits, TRICARE, legal services and Casualty Affairs information. “After speaking with folks who

attend, they really enjoy an event like this because it gives them an opportunity to meet face to face with someone they normally have contact over the phone, be it medical or legal,” said Ed Fiske, 412th Test Wing Retiree Activities Office deputy director. “If a retiree has a question or an issue they can’t resolve over the phone, this is a good platform to be able to do that as well,” added Bane. Along with information booths, independent vendors were also in attendance with free lunches provided by the commissary.

“I retired when I was 60 and have been attending ever since they started this, so I make it a point to attend every year,” said William Petersen, retired Air Force servicemember who served on active duty for 30 years. Collectively, it took the help of more than 15 organizations to put the event together, according to Bane. “I am really grateful for all the support all the agencies provided to get this event running today especially with our fiscal constraints, it was awesome to see the giveaways

we received from the commissary and Base Exchange,” Bane said. “We also thank and appreciate all the support from our various base private organizations and the representatives from the various organizations at all of our information booths today.” For more information regarding military retirees, call the Edwards AFB Retiree Activities Office at (661) 277-4931. The Edwards AFB RAO is located in Bldg. 3000 and is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with the exception of training days which occur on certain Mondays. Air Force photograph by Jet Fabara

pressure in the combustor. This failed flight produced the most amount of learning, it was kind of an aha moment,” said Brink. “During the third flight in August 2012, we had an unexpected fin failure on the cruiser. It was a hardware failure, which had nothing to do with scramjets. May 1 was our last and most successful flight.” While lessons learned from previous flights and more recent advancements in hypersonic technologies contributed to the success of the final mission, according to Lt. Col. Jason Wierzbanowski, 419th Flight Test Squadron commander, ultimately it was the test team’s ingenuity and flawless execution that can be attributed to Waverider’s recordbreaking achievement. “The highly complex mission required coordination between multiple government agencies and branches of military service,” said Wierzbanowski. “It required flawless execution of the aircraft maintenance unit, aircrew members, support aircraft, and the control room members. The test mission was a unique challenge for the entire test team and required countless hours of planning and rehearsal.” The X-51A departed Edwards attached to the wing of a B-52H, flown by aircraft commander Maj. Andrew Murphy and pilot Capt. Thomas Meagher. Additional 419th FLTS crew members included navigator Maj. Jonathan Beich, radar navigator John Kirk and flight test engineer Capt. Christopher Rondeau. They faced a takeoff with the minimum amount of fuel and once airborne, crewmembers were challenged with strict timelines, constant coordination with the control

room and chase aircraft, while operating the B-52H on the edge of its flight envelope at 50,000 feet. “We took the B-52 to the very top of its envelope and we just barely reached the bottom of the X-51 envelope. There is minimal overlap there,” said Murphy. The 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, La., provided the B-52H flown during the final X-51A mission. The aircraft along with crew chiefs and maintenance personnel were sent to support the mission because the two B-52s at Edwards were assigned to other test programs. “We want to thank Global Strike Command and the Barksdale maintainers, those guys have been here for a month and half getting the airplane ready to support the mission, they were exceptional,” said Murphy. In addition to the support from the 419th FLTS, 912th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and 419th Aircraft Maintenance Unit; the Hypersonics Combined Test Force was an integral component of the test team, serving as a liaison between AFRL and the operations community. “AFRL needed a test agency, so they came to us. We brought the flight test expertise to the program and the hypersonics knowledge to identify what was going to be needed; from identifying the launch platform, securing chase aircraft, coordinating support for Edwards and Point Mugu ranges and working with the ground crew, Boeing and Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne. Really it’s a coordinated effort of understanding AFRL and operations community; we were the liaison between the two,” said Lt. Col. Timothy Jorris, Hypersonics CTF director.

One of the biggest challenges for Jorris was securing a chase aircraft for the final X-51 flight. They needed an aircraft that performed well at 50,000 feet, so the Hypersonics CTF coordinated with the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, which provided an F-15 chase, flown by their chief pilot, David Nils Larson for the historic mission. An additional F-16 chase aircraft was provided by the 445th Flight Test Squadron. While the success of the final mission

was cause for celebration, Jorris is already looking forward to using all that was learned from the X-51A Waverider to further develop hypersonic capabilities. “Our Hypersonics CTF ends up getting lots of different test programs from a variety of sources; AFRL, DARPA, the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, even NASA. And what the X-51 program just did is open up See WAVERIDER, Page 7

WAVERIDER, from 6 multiple hypersonic research projects and demonstrations. What’s great is that it’s more than just the success of the X-51; it’s all the future projects that will now be moving forward,” said Jorris. The X-51A Waverider’s demonstration of sustained hypersonic, air-breathing propulsion was a major breakthrough that will lay the foundation for future development of hypersonic weapons and vehicles, providing a more efficient alternative to rocket propulsion. “Air-breathing scramjet propulsion is eventually going to have a place beside rocket propulsion. Think of the space shuttle; to get something into orbit you have to strap a huge tank of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen and solid rocket boosters to get it into space. If you could fly along at high speeds and capture the air; you’re not carrying the oxidizer up with you,” said Brink. “Scramjets have the potential to become a much more efficient propulsion cycle for portions of the spacelift mission.” The Air Force Research Laboratory’s X51A Waverider program leveraged expertise from not only the 412th Test Wing and 412th Operations Group; but Boeing, Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne and NASA, included a prominent role for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

C-5, from 1 software upgrade included the automatic flight control system, auto throttle, display services, embedded diagnostic system, and flight management system. “As part of the Traffic Collision and Avoidance System testing, we had to develop test techniques to safely generate collision warnings in-flight,” Schaffer said. “With the help of pilots at the 445th Flight Test Squadron and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory, we were able to develop procedures using a T-38 Talon to generate all of the appropriate warnings while ensuring safe separation of aircraft throughout the test.” Initially, the aircraft was modified with test instrumentation and software at Dover AFB, which required all of the checkouts, Quality Assurance inspections, and initial ground and flight testing to be conducted off-site. “Thanks to the excellent coordination between Edwards Special Instrumentation team, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, and the 436th Maintenance Group, all the modifications were completed ahead of schedule with the airplane fully mission capable,” said Schaffer. “With help from the 436th Operations Group, we were able to schedule all of the range support necessary for our testing.” Once the final portion of software upgrade testing is completed, Williams said the DR corrections will help bring many improvements to the C-5M platform including a new vertical guidance mode, new glideslope capture capabilities, identify friend or foe

UnitedHealthcare, TRICARE take steps to expedite authorizations TRICARE Management Activity is temporarily waiving the requirement for authorization of care in order to expedite service in its West Region, served by UnitedHealthcare. The waiver applies to any referrals obtained, or care received, from April 1 to May 18, 2013. Referrals are typically entered electronically, generating an authorization from the managed care support contractor. While UnitedHealthcare works to clear pending referrals, West Region enrollees who are referred to a network specialist for TRICARE covered services will not need an authorization. Beneficiaries should request

a written copy of their referral or ask their care provider to fax a copy to the specialist. The waiver does not apply to beneficiaries using TRICARE Standard. UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans began serving the TRICARE West Region April 1, 2013. Since then, the company has experienced referral and care authorization volumes that exceeded historical norms and related challenges processing them in a timely manner. Effective immediately, referrals submitted by 412th Medical Group providers between April 1 and May 18, 2013 are authorized treatment in the TRICARE network

without an authorization. When a provider determines the need for a medical referral to an off-base provider, enrollees will be sent to the 412th MDG Referral Management Center for assistance in booking appointments with a TRICARE network provider. Additionally, enrollees will be given a paper copy of their referral and the UnitedHealthcare waiver letter authorizing care. Please call the Referral Management Center at (661) 275-2259, if you have questions. “UnitedHealthcare has committed the full resources of the company – at all levels and in all areas – to provide beneficiaries, care providers and Military Treatment Facilities

with high-quality service and support,” said UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans CEO, Lori McDougal. “We understand issues have arisen that need immediate improvement, and we are taking aggressive actions to fix them. We sincerely apologize for any delay in services that TRICARE beneficiaries and care providers are experiencing as a result of these challenges.” West Region beneficiaries can get more information and sign up for updates at www.uhcmilitarywest.com or tricare.mil/ westtransition

The store is open to the entire base populace, including civilians. Sales are tax free and the store accepts Military Star and all other major credit cards.

The store is open from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday; and from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The store is closed on Sundays. “A portion of the sales at the furniture store goes straight back to the

Coming soon this summer! Get a napkin ready, because your taste buds might go crazy and your mouth may start to salivate. Arby’s, the fast food chain known for their roast beef sandwiches, is coming to the Edwards AFB Exchange. The chain began back in 1964, in Boardman, Ohio. Founders Leroy and Forrest Raffel had a taste for something different other than burgers so they opened a sandwich shop. They served up hot, freshly-sliced roast beef sandwiches as fast as anyone could flip a burger. Today, Arby’s has more than 3,400 locations worldwide and will be replacing the Robin Hood sandwich shop in the Exchange food court. Along with roast beef sandwiches, the menu includes subs, market fresh sandwiches, chopped salads and chicken. No date is set, but the new restaurant is set to open early summer.
