My Navy Learning provides personalized, adaptive learning for Sailors
August 20, 2021 — As Sailors progress through their Navy careers, their training, education and professional development needs evolve. In addition to training requirements that vary depending on rank or rating, individual Sailors learn at different paces using varying methods. These evolving needs require a personalized learning system that not only keeps pace with... MORE

MNL is a next-generation system that will encompass training and professional development throughout a Sailor’s entire career. The Distributed Training Branch at NSWCDD DNA teamed up with NSWCDD’s Human Systems Integration Branch to conduct usability studies with more than 20 Sailors as part of the design and development phase of the MNL project.

NSWCDD Scientists and Engineers Develop IDS Tech Refresh for Delivery to the Fleet Despite Pandemic
February 8, 2021 — DAHLGREN, Va. – Mike Jones and his team traveled to U.S. Navy bases worldwide because their mission to deliver the Identity Dominance System (IDS) and train Sailors – in person – was vital.Jones and his Mobile Training Team – flying more than one million miles since 2013 – provided hands on training to more than 2,000 Sailors aboard a whopping 130...

IMAGE: NORFOLK, Va. – A Sailor from a Navy visit, board, search and seizure team is collecting a subject’s biometrics via fingerprints for possible subject identification in the Identity Dominance System (IDS). The system – to be upgraded with a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD)-developed IDS technology refresh in fiscal year 2021 – collects biometrics such as face, finger, and iris images, and enrolls that information into a local database to match against known persons of interest. Once the information has been captured, the system sends the information back to the authoritative database. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, NSWCDD scientists and engineers transitioned to telework while developing software in support of a complete technology refresh focused on modifying the IDS form factor to be smaller and lighter with an enhanced system performance that increases computing power, speed, local matching and communications capabilities.
