University of Virginia and NSWC Dahlgren Partnership Impacts 3D Printing Research
March 12, 2018
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."
University of Virginia Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Midshipmen Visit NSWC Dahlgren Division
March 2, 2018
IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (Feb. 23, 2018) - University of Virginia Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Midshipmen pause in front of a U.S. Navy 16-inch battleship gun on the parade field during their tour of Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). Lt. Aaron Brotman, assistant professor of naval science for the university's ROTC program, left, and Chris Hodge, NSWCDD director of technical development, are pictured with the 14 Midshipmen in front of a gun that served aboard USS New Jersey (BB-62) before it was retired to Naval Support Facility Dahlgren. Navy scientists and engineers briefed the future naval officers on technologies and facilities such as warfare analysis, laser weapon testing and development, and MOATS - the Maginot' Open Air Test Site. MOATS has been specifically designed for testing the radio frequency susceptibility of electronic equipment to potential high power microwave weapon systems. The Midshipmen saw how NSWCDD engineers conduct lethality work impacting the evaluation of high energy laser technology in addition to the design and development process required to integrate future laser weapon systems in various platforms. NSWCDD scientists and engineers discussed various aspects of electrical and computer engineering, including systems the ROTC Midshipmen would be interacting with as Navy and Marine Corps officers.
