IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (Aug. 8, 2019) - Steering Committee members of the Navy's sixth annual Unmanned Systems Integration Workshop and Technical Exchange Meeting are pictured at this year's event. Military and civilian unmanned, weapon, and energetic systems experts throughout the Naval Research and Development Establishment, Office of Secretary of Defense, and other services presented briefs and engaged in discussions on technologies and policies related to the strategies and challenges for test and evaluation of weaponized unmanned systems. Speakers and attendees networked while discussing partnerships, technology efforts, policy and demonstrated programs at the two-day event co-hosted by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Dahlgren Division, NSWC Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (IHEODTD), and the Unmanned Vehicle and Autonomous Systems Group at Naval Sea Systems Command. The workshop and technical exchange was sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (Tactical Warfare Systems Office and the Land Warfare and Munitions Office), the Joint Ground Robotics Enterprise and the NSWC Warfare Centers. The event’s Steering Committee members left to right: Reid McAllister, Integrated Unmanned Maritime Mobility Systems director at NSWC Carderock Division; Carrie Gonzalez, NSWCDD project manager; Penny Moran, NSWCDD Autonomy Lead; Amy O'Donnell, NSWC IHEODTD deputy technical director; Daniel Pines, NSWC IHEODTD chief innovation officer; Dr. John Wilkinson, NSWC IHEODTD customer advocate for Science and Technology Business Development; and Tony Harris, NSWCDD Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Branch head.

TechSolutions partnered with Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division to develop the TRACER package, which consists of a virtual-reality headset, a backpack, a state-of-the-art simulated weapon designed to deliver realistic recoil, and a software package that creates multiple and adaptable simulation scenarios for security personnel to experience. ONRG TechSolutions allows Sailors and Marines to submit technology requests directly to the development community for rapid response prototyping. (U.S. Navy photo by John F. Williams)

(June 26, 2019) – A middle school student prepares for an aerospace engineering rocketry activity at the 2019 Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Summer Academy, held June 24-28. She was among 70 middle school students who constructed and calibrated their water rockets while discovering the optimal amount of fuel (water) to launch a ball the highest. The STEM Summer ‘campers’ worked in teams to organize and analyze their data in order to determine what fuel volume will result in the highest launch.

IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (April 17, 2019) – Rear Adm. Eric Ver Hage – commander of the Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) Warfare Centers – discusses high energy laser testing with Dr. Chris Lloyd, High Energy Laser Lethality lead at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). Lloyd emphasized that lethality lab efforts – including rigorous modeling and testing against target materials to ensure high energy laser systems meet warfighter requirements – are growing while keeping pace with an increased demand signal for fielded high energy laser weapons. Meanwhile, Lloyd’s team is coordinating and collaborating with organizations throughout the Department of Defense and elsewhere to accomplish common goals. Pictured at the NSWCDD Laser Lethality Laboratory left to right are Lloyd, Capt. Andrew Arnold, NSWC chief of staff, and Ver Hage.
