Missing American Airmen Project

Our team is partnered with members of recovery teams working for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) to develop digital comparative collections of aviator equipment and aircraft components for use by DPAA teams in field operations. Our field-deployable 3D models of artifacts that might be encountered during the search for service members who made the ultimate sacrifice and aid in understanding the context and location of what is being recovered in order to locate them more efficiently. The goal is to maximize the potential of recovery and correctly categorizing non-human materials that would help identify crew positions at time of impact. The project is oriented for citizen scientists from all walks of life to contribute to the mission. https://tinyurl.com/berkeley-missing-airmen
