IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (July 17, 2019) – U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman Max Shuman mounts a thermocouple assembly that houses spring fit thermocouples to a target plate during his internship at the Navy’s Laser Lethality and Development Facility which features an above-ground tunnel used for evaluating high energy laser weapon systems. Shuman’s mentor, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division scientist Chris Heflin, observes as the Midshipman prepares for a test shot accomplished with a flat top beam to ensure uniform heating across the sample.

NSWCDD Scientists and Engineers Develop IDS Tech Refresh for Delivery to the Fleet Despite Pandemic
February 8, 2021
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.
