The activities included, “Straw Rockets and Mini-Railgun”, “Ozobots and Littlebits Engineering”, and “EV3 LEGO Robotics”.
Navy Warfare Center Engineers Revolutionize AEGIS Combat System Training with CIAT
August 8, 2019
IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (Aug. 8, 2019) - The CIAT – Combined Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Trainer – team is pictured at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Dahlgren Division headquarters.
