Brian Eaddy was honored for his contribution to the Fire Scout Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Control Segment Technical Refresh Activity. Annette Helm was recognized for her technical leadership and expertise for all Aegis Weapons Control System engineering activities in the NSWCDD Maritime Warfare Control Systems Division, including the development, management and approval activities. Ryan Mead was cited for implementing critical system and integration across two highly visible counter-improvised explosive device projects. Ashby Hall – honored for her systems engineering leadership on Aegis Advanced Capability Build 2016 – impacted the development and eventual fielding of future Aegis capabilities for the Navy.
Anthony Harris was recognized for his dedication to meeting asymmetric rapid resp onse integration demands. Award of Excellence for Test and Evaluation The NSWCDD Award of Excellence for Test & Evaluation was established to recognize individuals who have made a notable and significant impact to NSWCDD through their outstanding performance in Test and Evaluation, the collection, analysis, and assessment of data to characterize and/or measure the performance of a component, system, platform, or mission. Six employees received this award which targets individuals with performance or achievements that are exceptional in nature and have resulted in a significant organizational contribution. William Houchins helped establish NSWCDD as a recognized leader in the area of test and evaluation of explosive ordnance to assess system safety, compliance with insensitive munitions requirements, and performance. Lee Adler was honored for his contribution in leading the
Patrol Coastal Griffin Missile Test program. Jon Posch was recognized for his leadership and dedication in implementing automated testing of the ballistic missile submarine and guided missile submarine fire control software delivered to the fleet. Jeff Riggleman – cited for coordinating and leading the program level test events for the Tomahawk Weapons System – was instrumental in the testing and fielding of multiple Tomahawk Weapons System baselines. Mark Giewont was honored for his leadership to identify and resolve significant design, integration, and test issues discovered during test and evaluation of the USS Independence class of Littoral Combat Ship. Lindsay Sobota’s leadership in support for the Hydra Hunter Program resulted in the validation and certification of multiple unique electro-mechanical systems for operational deployment, resulting in the fielding of thousands of systems. Technology to the Warfighter Award The Technology to the Warfighter Award recognizes individuals or groups who have had a notable and
significant impact on the warfighter by developing needed capability and transitioning it into operations. Three employees received this award which recognizes direct contributions to the warfighter and their operational impact. James Chisholm was honored for his leadership and his contributions upon the integration of the Griffin Missile System on the U.S. Navy Cyclone-class Patrol Coastal ships. William Fones was recognized for his contributions to the systems integration efforts associated with the Littoral Combat Ship Surface Warfare Mission Package Application Software Project. Jennifer Dowell was cited for her efforts – crucial to the success of real-world operations – to develop and fabricate unique intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance sensors for the warfighter. Independent Applied Research Project of the Year Dr. Chris Weiland received the Independent Applied Research Project of the Year Award. An individual or group whose research results exhibit outstanding technical
or scientific merit relevant to the mission and thrusts of NSWCDD – and will have a positive effect on other command efforts – are eligible for the award. Weiland was honored for his research project entitled “Adaptive Fire Control using a Visual Targeting Algorithm.” Weiland’s research represents a paradigm shift in how gunfire data is collected for test and evaluation purposes and has the potential to significantly impact how gunfire corrections are collected and applied for both direct and indirect weapons on the battlefield. In-house Laboratory Independent Research Excellence Award Dr. Michael Lowry received the In-house Laboratory Independent Research Excellence Award which is granted to an individual or group whose research results exhibit outstanding technical or scientific merit – relevant to the mission and thrusts of NSWCDD. Lowry was honored for his research project entitled “Exploring the chemistry and physics of stressgrown carbon nanotubes”. Lowry and his colleagues developed Continued on page 9
