Increasingly advanced technologies are penetrating military domains (e.g., air, land, sea, cyber, space) requiring more complex decision-making to support activities that apply across these domains (multi-domain planning & operations). These decisions often require humans to perceive, comprehend, project, and then communicate information in a timely and accurate manner, oftentimes with life-or-death consequences. To support these decisions, department of Defense leaders are calling for more effective representations and displays of joint warfighting environments. This project addresses this requirement by examining novel technologies for integrating and displaying complex MDO plans for human decision-making. Using a mission planning scenario, we assessed situation awareness (SA), usability, cost, and overall effectiveness of a two-dimensional (2D) representation of a common joint warfighting display on a Samsung tablet against a three-dimensional (3D) display of the same information designed for use in a Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality system. A total of 22 U.S. Air Force Academy cadets were randomly assigned to either use the tablet or the HoloLens to develop and analyze a mission plan and assessed for situation awareness across two scenarios. Interestingly, the HoloLens did not provide any additional SA relative to the tablet. The tablet was also perceived as more usable and effective in terms of cost and overall performance. These results suggest more traditional technologies, such as a tablet, can provide SA at similar levels as more advanced technology with increased usability and affordability.

Bridging the literature on digital transformation (DT) and organizational resilience, we discuss the mechanisms whereby DT can contribute to the development and enactment of organizational resilience, which lead to the persistence of superior performance through times of adversity and crisis. We developed and validated brand new measurement scales for DT as a multidimensional construct. Then, we conducted two waves of surveys to collect data from 238 firms. The COVID-19 pandemic serves as the empirical context of aversity and crisis for our sampled firms. The results of PLS-SEM analyses supported our hypotheses. We then articulated our contributions to the studies of DT and organizational resilience.

Composite parts manufactured by the current additive manufacturing (AM) methods are inferior in strength and stiffness compared to traditional composite manufacturing. Major issues include voids, physical gaps at layer/layer interface, and low reinforcing fiber content. This paper experimentally examined the feasibility of a patent-pending novel method, Magnetic Compaction Force Assisted-Additive Manufacturing (MCFA-AM), that utilized a magnetic compaction force to print and support curve-shaped continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer (C-CFRP) composites in free space without any mold. C-CFRP prepreg tapes were fed through a magnet-assisted roller-like-setting, which was a part of the 3D printing head, and consolidated with a magnetic compaction pressure of 0.21 MPa in this feasibility trial. Short beam shear tests (ASTM D2344) showed that the 0.21 MPa MCFA-AM samples’ interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) was 8 % and 9 % stronger and 7% weaker compared with the C-CFRP samples manufactured by the hand layup, the Tension-Tape-Placement-Without Compaction-AM, and the Out-Of-Autoclave Vacuum-Bag-Only (OOA-VBO) methods, respectively. Microscopic observations showed the size and number of voids were significantly reduced by the magnetic compaction. Finally, it demonstrated that printing stiff, strong, and complex shaped C-CFRP parts with great freedom can be done within a few minutes with this exciting AM-Composites technology advance.
