+                            <h3>AFWERX 2021 Mixed Reality Air Refueling Training Challenge</h3>
+						</header>
+						<p>On 18 February 2021 AFWERX <a href="https://events.afwerx.com/strikewerx">announced their latest challenge</a>: "Air-to-air refueling (AAR) is one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish in the B-52 and is the primary driver behind the requirement for many additional training sorties. Increasingly, older bombers and tankers are requiring more maintenance, weather continues to affect our ability to accomplish training, and no current simulation contributes in a meaningful way to a pilot learning the fine motor skills and visual perception of movement necessary to accomplish AAR. Our goal is to develop a trainer which allows pilots to learn this essential skill more quickly.
+							We need industry experts to help inform our nation’s elite war-fighting capability on the most current technologies. This is not an opportunity to pitch your product, but we encourage you to share your ideas for potential solutions, and we are seeking as many different perspectives as possible. The future of the United States Air Force (USAF) is dependent on investing in solutions that enable the warfighter to meet the threats of the future." </p>
+							<p>We will be participating in the Challenge Workshop with a Coalition of AR/VR &amp; Air Refueling SMEs. If you wish to work with us please contact <a href="mailto:refueling@multiplex.studio">refueling@multiplex.studio</a></p>

+                        </header>
+						<p>In partnership with the University of Utah NROTC program we are pursuing at Office of Naval Research (ONR) Grant to develop Cognitive Warfare training for cadets.</p>
+						<p>At UTHOUGHT we seek to not only educate our cadets on the tools and techniques of Cognitive Warfare / Social Engineering but place them in the field as 
+							"operational researchers.” University of Utah NROTC programming will not have capacity for formal cybersecurity training for the foreseeable future and as such this will be an extracurricular activity that is both highly encouraged by command and compensated through the ONR grant. We intend to provide real world objectives, most likely in an unofficial support capacity of US CYBERCOM, to affect cognitive transformation of our adversaries’ cyberspace. </p>

                             <h3>Advanced Conceptual Aerospace Research</h3>
 						</header>
-						<p>In addition to cyber/tech we also have a theoretical  working group on Advanced Aerospace Design. At the center is NexCraft: A "UFO" on a 10 year time frame, originally presented to AFWERX in March 2018 this project is under active development with the last publish being reflected in July 2019. NexCraft is smothered in micro-rocket-engines with main boosters providing fixed-vector-thrust-propulsion. Theoretically it can be going along at Mach 3, spin into a curve at Mach 5, stop on a dime and (if weaponed) take an entire wing of enemy fighters out of the sky before even been detected. Additionally it can do a "controlled spin" out of the atmosphere and navigate space even easier than within Earth.</p>

 						<p>Additionally in September 2020 we designed a conceptual ultra-large body prop-plane, the 808Z, which employs artificial intelligence to oscillate - instead of spin - the blades: theoretically  resulting in superior performance  (fuel consumption &amp; speed).</p>
