Thomas McGowan, U.S. Special Operations Command Science and Technology technical experimentation team member, observes a chemical analysis technology demonstration by Craig Johnson, the founder of Field Forensics Inc., during a technical experimentation at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, Ind., March 27, 2018. Recently, U.S. Special Operations Command's Science and Technology Directorate tested some new technologies to see if they could help the warfighter. The experimentation provided special operations units the opportunity to evaluate new tech and to provide its developers feedback. The assessment evaluated optics, chemical identification, neuroenhancement and non-GPS enabled positioning. (Photo by U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Barry Loo)
