Takuro Koroki are pictured with their delegation and Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) leadership in front of the electromagnetic railgun prototype launcher. Yuasa is president of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Maritime Command and Staff College in Tokyo and Koroki is the naval attaché for the Embassy of Japan and the JMSDF delegation. Yuasa led the Japanese delegation to see new and emerging technologies developed at NSWCDD. Navy scientists and engineers briefed the Japanese delegation on human systems integration, electromagnetic launchers, hypervelocity projectiles, and directed energy weapons, in addition to the command's capabilities in complex warfare systems development and integration to incorporate electric weapons technology into existing and future fighting forces and platforms.

University of Virginia and NSWC Dahlgren Partnership Impacts 3D Printing Research
March 12, 2018 — CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – University of Virginia professors and students – teaming up with Naval... MORE

IMAGE: CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - University of Virginia students investigate material properties with a microscope. The students and their professors teamed up with Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) engineers and scientists through the Naval Engineering Education Consortium (NEEC) to develop a better understanding of the capabilities and limitations of additive manufacturing (3D printing). "The research that the University of Virginia is conducting is an important examination of the microstructure and mechanical properties of alloys relevant to the Navy produced by state of the art additive manufacturing techniques," said Ricky Moore, an NSWCDD engineer and mentor to the students. "Understanding these properties is paramount as the Navy begins to design, develop, produce, and field components and systems produced with additive manufacturing to improve performance and availability of systems in the Fleet. Without it, much of the promise of additive manufacturing will be out of reach."

Godfrey 'Gus' Weekes, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) commanding officer, center next to Coffman, and NSWCDD leadership in front of the Navy's electromagnetic railgun prototype launcher. NSWCDD engineers briefed the Marine Corps leaders on electromagnetic launchers, hypervelocity projectiles, directed energy weapons, unmanned autonomous systems, and the 155mm moving target artillery round. The Marines saw NSWCDD facilities and the command's capability to develop and integrate complex warfare systems, including the ability to incorporate electric weapons technology into existing and future fighting forces and platforms. Coffman is the director of the U.S. Navy Expeditionary Warfare Division. Trollinger is the Operations Division director for Plans, Policies, and Operations at U.S. Marine Corps Headquarters. Dale Sisson, NSWCDD deputy technical director, is pictured to Weekes' right. Tom Boucher, Office of Naval Research Railgun Program manager, is pictured to the left of Trollinger. Chester Petry, NSWCDD electromagnetic railgun lead systems engineer, stands center back row.
