Carderock’s Technical Director’s Innovation Challenge: enabling access to data
February 12, 2019 — When engineers conduct experiments, the data from the work need to be stored somewhere for future reference. Using hard drives and other forms of removable memory is a popular method because it is secure, but this might not always be convenient when another person needs to recall that work. Engineers at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division have run into the issue before and want to put an end to it once and for all... MORE

Technical Director’s Innovation Challenge project spotlight Idea market: collaborative ideation
January 16, 2019 — Jared Soltis from the Sea-Based Aviation and Aeromechanics Branch and Nicholas Jones from the Physical Metallurgy and Fire Performance Branch at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division are like any other engineer; they have ideas for projects they want to accomplish and need funding to do so. Sometimes ideas get reworked through levels of brainstorming and do not meet the sponsor’s intent by the time it reaches them, often leading to a proposal rejection with no feedback... MORE

Technical Director’s Innovation Challenge - Structural design optimization: producibility vs. weight
December 13, 2018 — In April 2017, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the U.S. Navy would have to spend an average of $26.6 billion a year in shipbuilding costs for 30 years to reach its 355-ship goal. According to the same CBO report, to build and operate those 355 ships would cost about $102 billion each year through 2047. Skylar Stephens and Nathan Hagan of the Criteria and Risk Assessment Branch at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, believe that cost can be reduced... MORE
