Navy Innovators Reveal Revolutionary Research to Counter Emerging Threats
October 12, 2018
IMAGE: KING GEORGE, Va. (Sept. 25, 2018) – Associate investigators Teeya Roche and Megan Kozub are pictured at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) In-house Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) and Independent Applied Research (IAR) End of Year Review. They identified challenges, objectives, accomplishments and future benefits related to their IAR project -- “Data Visualization Support for Creation of a Numerical Table: Effects on Training and Performance” -- to Navy technical managers, engineers, and scientists as well as representatives from academia, industry, transition partners, and other key stakeholders. The innovative tool can reduce Sailor workload by minimizing the required sectors that a warfighter must monitor for each ship based on the global coverage area of the Fleet doctrine.

Royal Australian Navy Delegation Visits NSWC Dahlgren Division in the Wake of RIMPAC 2018
August 30, 2018
IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (Aug. 16, 2018) – Dr. Chris Lloyd, High Energy Laser Lethality Lead at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), briefs Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Commodore Peter Leavy and his delegation at the NSWCDD Laser Lethality Lab during the RAN delegation's NSWCDD visit. Lloyd explained the importance of rigorous modeling and laboratory testing against target materials to ensure high energy laser systems are built that meet the requirements of the warfighter once fielded. NSWCDD is drawing on its knowledge of electromagnetic launchers, hypervelocity projectiles, and directed energy weapons, in addition to its established core capabilities in complex warfare systems development and integration to incorporate electric weapons technology into existing and future fighting forces and platforms.

Meanwhile, they have been increasing their collaboration and understanding of operations throughout the Warfare Centers. (U.S. Navy photo/Released)
“Loud booms” inspire intern’s dream career path
July 30, 2018
IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (July 10, 2018) - Sarah Wessel and her mentor, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division engineer Matt Henning, examine the Advanced Beam Control Locating and Engaging - Enhanced Tracking System (ABLE-ETS) gimbal. The ABLE ETS Gimbal is part of a pointing and image tracking system. Last summer, Wessel converted the gimbal's pointing controller Simulink code into C++ code. ABLE-ETS is a Joint Technology Office funded test bed for maturing directed energy and high-energy laser technologies, including tracking, sensors, and lasers. Wessel is interning at Dahlgren through the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Student Employment Program (SSEP). The program provides direct hire authority for undergraduate and graduate degree seeking students enrolled in STEM majors. The program was established to provide interns with exposure to public service, enhance educational experience, and possibly provide financial aid to support educational goals. Additionally, this program will provide a streamlined and accelerated hiring process to compete successfully with private industry for high-quality scientific, technical, engineering, or mathematics students for filling scientific and engineering positions.
