Laser Tests at Dahlgren Measure Optical Effects That Make Stars Twinkle
October 1, 2020
IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. - Henry Wilson - a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) student employment program intern - launches a weather balloon to record a vertical optical turbulence profile in support of a collaborative research project combining the Navy’s next-generation laser weapons with maritime environmental challenges. Dr. Evan Bates - a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division systems engineer who leads the High Energy Laser Measurement Support Laboratory - hopes to take the instruments used for optical turbulence measurements and incorporate them into shipboard lasers in the future. “You want to be able to get a real-time measurement with a single-ended system, because if we can get that we can look at the environment and evaluate the atmospheric effects on laser transmission to the target," said Bates. “That’s the end goal of optical turbulence instrumentation.” (U.S. Navy photo/Released)

Wave of the Future: NSWC Dahlgren Interns Develop Their Craft in the Future Systems Software Development Branch
September 25, 2020
IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (Sept. 21, 2020) - Navy scientist Tiffany Lower is pictured with her fellow scientist, Spencer Charney, at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). Lower mentors STEM-Student Employment Program (SSEP) interns at the command's Future Systems Software Development Branch. Charney interned with the branch while on breaks from college. Now he's a full-time NSWCDD scientist, thanks to what he calls a "seamless transition" after graduation. "I had no idea that I could have worked here before I graduated," said Lower. "SSEP is such a good opportunity. Interns are gaining immeasurable real world experience." (U.S. Navy photo/Released).
