For the Warfighter: NSWC Dahlgren Test and Evaluation Division Pushes the Status Quo with Higher Engineering Competency
November 9, 2020
IMAGE: Dahlgren, VA. – When you hear a high-energy clamor coming from Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), you’re likely hearing ordinance qualification testing done by Dahlgren’s test and evaluation division. Every product, including the one pictured, must first be qualified for release. “Dahlgren is all about weapons systems and developing material to go out into the fleet to help the warfighter,” said Shawn Schneider, vibration subject matter expert. Environmental testing is split into dynamic and climatic testing. “We owe it to the warfighter to make sure that we do the right tests.” Schneider continued, “There’s no one size fits all, easy answer, to what vibration testing entails. Everything is tailored.” NSWCDD’s move to a test and evaluation team with greater engineering competency has propelled the organization’s capacities forward.  Barry Mohle, NSWCDD test and evaluation division head, says NSWCDD’s impact on the DoD goes even beyond their testing capabilities. (U.S. Navy photo/Released)

NSWCDD 2020 National Disability Employee Awareness Month – Employee Profile: Matthew Roles
October 5, 2020
IMAGE: Matthew Roles – a Battle Management System (BMS) systems engineer at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) – co-pilots a B-52 somewhere over the Pacific Ocean while on a Pacific Bomber Presence deployment to Guam in 2007. As a U.S. Air Force officer, Roles flew the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the B-52 Stratofortress until a stroke ended his active duty career. He started his government civilian career in 2009 at NSWC Dahlgren Division as a lethality and effectiveness analyst. He eventually became the Navy technical representative to the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munition Effectiveness Collateral Damage Working Group before joining BMS where he works to demonstrate the capability for a future long-range, unmanned concept.

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)

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).
