River Testing Next Week
PRESORT STD US POSTAGE PAID SO. MD. NEWSPAPERS PERMIT #1
The Potomac River Test Range will conduct testing July 16-18 that will include multiple rounds that burn brightly and descend to the river under a parachute. Testing should not cause noise.
Marines are testing prototypes of the new Marine Austere Patrolling System (MAPS) at an End User Evaluation from July 17-24 in Camp Pendleton, Calif. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) developed MAPS as an individual, wearable power management and distribution system, enabling Marines to patrol longer without resupply. “One of the goals of MAPS is to provide greater field sustainability to Marines,” said Marine Maj. Anthony McNair, Marine Liaison and MAPS Program Sponsor at the Marine Expeditionary Energy Office. The system features an advanced solar panel and a water filtration system. “There are a lot of metrics that illustrate the correlation between transport missions and combat casualties,” said McNair. “If we can decrease the number of fuel and water resupplies Marines need, that’s fewer people we have to expose to that danger and less casualties.” The system integrates flatform batteries and provides a central source of electrical energy that can be adapted to any equipment’s electrical requirements. Common electronics the
vest can power for Marines include gear such as radios, night-vision goggles, global positioning system (GPS), laptops and Universal Serial Bus (USB) powered equipment. “Dismounted Soldiers and Marines typically carry between 15 to 20 pounds of unique batteries,” said Eric South, NSWCDD lead electrical engineer for MAPS. “In some cases, they may have a dead radio, but a fully charged GPS. The MAPS system will enable Marines to power the dead radio from the GPS.” The vest power manager (VPM-402) provides Marines with a universal interface to multiple energy requirements. “VPM is the electrical heart of the system,” said South. “You can plug in nearly any energy source between 4 and 34 [volts direct current] and any energy load commonly worn or carried by dismounted combatants. Whatever you want to take power from or put power into, the power manager automatically recognized what’s plugged in and sets itself to do the electrical conversations.” The central power source, an ergonomically fitting battery, fits into currently fielded tactical vests. The wearable power system and energy harvesting capabilities of MAPS provides potential to reduce the weight of carrying multiple spares of standard batteries by up to 10 pounds for a multipleday mission. The vest further enhances the energy capabilities of Ma-

The Marine Austere Patrolling System’s (MAPS) vest power manager (VPM-402) connects and manages multiple, tactical power requirements through a single interface. MAPS is a technology being developed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division for the Marine Expeditionary Energy Office. The system improves the sustainability of dismounted Marines on patrol by providing them with a central energy source, a wearable solar panel and a water filtration system. rines by adding an advanced, wearable solar panel developed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). “In multi-junction (MJ) solar cells, each junction is ‘tuned’ to different wavelength bands in the solar spectrum to increase efficiency,” according to a NRL press release. While NRL is developing the multi-junction solar panel to break the 50-percent solar energy conversion efficiency barrier-the current record be-
ing 44 percent efficiency-the triple-junction panel used in MAPS provides 30 percent efficiency. This is approximately a 22 percent improvement over other solar panels in military use. In addition to solar energy, MAPS can accept power from civilian and military vehicles and various commonly used batteries. MAPS also features a water filtration system that provides Marines with safe drinking
water from any water source found in the field. MAPS is being developing for the Marine Expeditionary Energy Office and directly supports the USMC Expeditionary Energy Strategy and Implementation Plan to, “deploy Marine Expeditionary Forces that can maneuver from the sea and sustain C4I (command, control, computers and intelligence) and life support systems in place.” “By 2025,” added McNair, “the commandant wants zero fuel to be used in the battlefield except for mobility.” The End User Evaluation takes MAPS out of the lab and puts it on the backs of Marines to prepare for the trials of realworld use. NSWC engineers are collecting performance data in addition to comfort and usability feedback from Marines integrating MAPS into their standard pre-deployment exercises. “This type of prototype-level testing is designed to glean user feedback, so when we go into formal testing, it will be with a system that has already been used by Marines and has received their feedback,” said South. “We rely heavily on our interactions with the fleet Marine Corps to improve our system.” MAPS will undergo a second series of informal testing with Marines in Bridgeport, Calif., this fall.
King George Day of Caring set for Oct. 4 Plans have begun for this year’s King George Day of Caring. The event, administered by Rappahannock United Way, will be held Friday, Oct. 4. Day of Caring was organized to provide nonprofit agencies and schools with volunteer teams from local businesses to complete meaningful projects that fulfill agency and community needs. Projects are needed for this year’s event. If your non-profit agency or school is in need of free labor to help organize, repair, beautify or generally enhance your organization, obtain an
agency packet and apply for volunteer assistance. Agencies may submit as many volunteer projects as wanted or needed, there is no limit. Projects can be half day (four hours) or full day (eight hours). Agencies are responsible for materials, equipment and any permits necessary to complete project. Projects can include but are not limited to building playgrounds, decks and ramps, painting walls and fences, cleaning up and landscaping outdoor areas, spring cleaning office space including washing windows, pol-
ishing furniture, and organizing clutter, organizing stock in storerooms, stuffing envelopes and organizing files and organizing a drive for your organization - perhaps a book drive, food, clothing, or whatever items your agency needs. Sponsorship is also needed to make the event successful. Multiple options are available for sponsors, including the opportunity for your business’s logo to appear on the back of the event t-shirt. A call for volunteers will go out in August. You can start organiz-
ing your team now to be ready for sign-ups. The larger your team, the quicker your project will go! Last year’s Day of Caring events around the area included 601 volunteers, participation from 48 local businesses, 84 projects completed, 46 non-profit agencies and schools served and $70,000 in volunteer hour value. For sponsorship information, to register your project or for more info about volunteering, contact Jeron Hayes at (540) 2840129 or jeron.hayes@navy.mil.

Governor’s School tours Railgun facility
Students from the Virginia Governor’s School toured the electromagnetic railgun (EMRG) facility at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division on June 26. Students visited the railgun facility to meet engineers and scientists and get exposure to the applications of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. “This was a wonderful opportunity for the local high school students to come and meet with engineers, scientists, and naval personnel who helped these students become excited about STEM fields,” said student instructor Patrick Foley. “Visiting the electromagnetic launch facility was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that few have the privilege to experience, and I think that these students and I will never forget this experience.” “It was mind boggling to me that the railgun could shoot
a projectile at 5,600 miles per hour!” said Raymond Daniels, a rising 9th grade at Courtland High School in Spotsylvania County, Va. “l was also intrigued by the fact that whether or not you’re a computer scientist or an aerospace engineer, you can still help make a railgun.” “Not only did they get a chance to be hands-on with some of the cool things engineers can do, but they gained an understanding of how the design process they were learning in the classroom translated to real world experiences,” said Marin Kobin, NSWCDD facility engineer. “The experience was amazing.” said Timothy Quann, a 9th-grade student at Courtland High School in Spotsylvania County, Va. “It is a dream of mine to pursue a STEM field. I hope to take many STEM classes throughout the rest of high school and college.”
Dahlgren employees dress down for diversity
By Elliott Fabrizio Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Public Affairs
Employees at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) participated in their second annual T-Shirt Day July 17. The morale and teambuilding activity is a build up for Diversity Day, and employees were encouraged to sport the T-shirts of non-profit organizations and charities with meaning to them. “Diversity makes us stronger,” said Marcella Bushrod, NSWCDD Disability Program manager and Special Emphasis Program coordinator. “For this year’s event we decided to focus on charities. People have many different organizations they support, and that shows not only our diversity but also
our unity.” Donna Reedal, Warfare Systems Program director, sported a shirt she earned participating in Face of America, a charity bike ride. “World Team Sports provides opportunities for injured veterans to participate in sports and learn to enhance their lives through sport,” said Reedal. “The shirt I’m wearing is for a bicycle ride I completed that is 110 miles over two days. It was an awesome experience.” Many of the shirts represented strong personal ties with the organization represented. “I got this shirt many years ago when I began working with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,” said Evan Bezeredi, a software engineering student studying at the Warfare Systems Department. “I have cystic fibrosis, and I have been fortunate
Employees from Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division’s (NSWCDD) Warfare Systems Department wear T-shirts representing their favorite charity or non-profit organization. T-shirt Day is a team-building event that leads up to Diversity Day, October 16, and is held to emphasizes both NSWCDD’s diversity and unity. enough to never have been admitted to the hospital
since I was diagnosed,” said Bezeredi. “Not many cys-
tic fibrosis patients can say that. Partnering with this
foundation is a way to give back. They’ve helped me a lot by funding many of the tests that I’ve needed.” The attire allowed NSWCDD employees to learn more about one another by discussing their Tshirt’s significance. “My shirt is for the Law Enforcement Torch Run,” said Vera Ward, a secretary at NSWCDD. “I received it when I was participating with the King’s George County Sheriff’s Department. A family friend who works for the Sheriff’s department has a son with Down syndrome, and we participate to show our support for his family.” The next diversity activity is Office Food Day, which encourages employees to prepare and share their favorite foods with their coworkers, August 14. NSWCDD is scheduled to celebrate Diversity Day on October 16.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Facilities and Model Fabrication Division earned a Federal Energy and Water Management Award, July 3. The award, which honors honor individuals and organizations making significant contributions to energy and water efficiency within the federal government, will be presented at the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Sidney R. Yates Auditorium in Washington, D.C., Nov. 6. “We have been on the forefront with these programs for more than a decade,” said Joseph Katacinski, NSWCCD Facilities and Model Fabrication division head. “This award recognizes our continuous efforts in managing Carderock’s energy and water programs.” In January 2007, former President George W. Bush signed an executive order requiring all federal agencies to in-
crease energy efficiency by 30 percent by 2015, compared to the fiscal year 2003 baseline. Additionally, one of the secretary of the Navy’s energy security goals is to increase the use of alternative energy ashore so that by 2020, 50 percent of Navy installations will be net-zero energy compliant. Including fiscal year 2012, NSWC Carderock has achieved a 22.25 percent energy reduction in relations to the fiscal year 2003 baseline. NSWC Carderock’s energy program is corporately managed, with resource sharing and best practices utilized across all sites, including the three largest energy consuming sites at Carderock Headquarters located in West Bethesda, Md.; the Ship Systems Engineering Station located in Philadelphia; and the Large Cavitation Channel located in Memphis, Tenn. Multiple repair projects were implemented at Carderock to increase the efficiency of major building heating and cooling systems. In West Bethesda, a newly-constructed building was
equipped with a 21-kilowatt photovoltaic array, solar domestic hot water and a vegetative roof. In Philadelphia, energy enhancements were made to the newly constructed electric drive test facility to enable operation on natural gas, which is less expensive than petroleum fuel, is domestically available and creates fewer emissions. Based on these initiatives, Carderock is on track to meet the mandated energy reduction goals in 2015. NSWC Carderock is a Naval Sea Systems Command field activity. Its responsibilities span a broad range including science and technology, research and development, test and evaluation, product delivery and fleet support. The Carderock Division leads the Navy in hull, mechanical and electrical engineering expertise and delivers technical solutions to the fleet. Headquartered in West Bethesda, Md., Carderock’s approximately 3,600 scientists, engineers, technicians and support personnel are located at facilities across the United States.

financial class on how to overcome the challenges,” said CMC Jim Honea. “She established, coordinated and contributed to a smooth transition from the old [Transition Assistance Program] to the [Transition Goals Plans Success] program, which involved the acquisition of training space, reconfiguring the layout and recommending audio and visual equipment, and furniture, while still maintaining the rigid class agenda.”
Allison also worked with the Veterans Affairs Administration, colleges and the Small Business Administration to create workshops that inform veterans of assistance programs that can help them establish businesses. Allison’s outstanding performance of duties does not stop with normal working hours. “Carol also provided after-hours training to Sailors working the night shift through her Mil-
itary Saves program, which teaches financial basics to Sailors,” said Honea. “Because of her reputation she was invited to teach age-appropriate financial lessons at the Dahlgren School.” Jeron Hayes was recognized for 10 years of federal service; Garrett Baker was recognized for 20 years of federal service. “Congratulations to all of the nominees and award recipients,” said Cmdr. Elvis Mikel, executive officer of NSASP.

Preparation key during hurricane season By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer As hurricane season ramps up, the death and devastation caused by last year’s Hurricane Sandy is worth recollecting. A report by the National Hurricane Center recorded 159 direct and indirect deaths as a result of the hurricane in the U.S., including two in Virginia. It caused approximately $68 billion in damage and left more than 6 million electric customers without power for days. When Sandy closed in on the U.S. East Coast, dire estimations of the storm’s potential for damage were widely-reported. Before the massive, category two storm came ashore in New Jersey on October 29, residents all along the mid-Atlantic coast were warned to prepare by civic leaders, emergency managers and meteorologists, who were unable to make a precise landfall predication. That lack of certainly pressured retail supply chains over a wide area and many essential items were in short supply in the days before the storm. The lesson: prepare for tropical storms and hurricanes before landfall is imminent. Hurricane Sandy could have hit the Chesapeake Bay region with devastating results for Dahlgren and to a lesser extent, Indian Head. A newly-released, interactive map from Stanford University’s Woods Institute for the Environment and the Natural Capital Project details

consideration the protection afforded by natural features such as wetlands, as well as predicted rises in sea level due to climate change. There are several high-risk areas along Dahlgren. The map is accessible at http://www. naturalcapitalproject.org/ CoastalHazard_WebPortal. html. Hurricane season in the region is from June 1 to November 30. Communication is essential during and after major storms and a few simple measures can help readers stay connected. All person-

nel assigned to Dahlgren and Indian Head should enroll in the Naval District Washington Wide-Area Alert Network, which distributes emergency information through emails, text messaging and phone. Service members, dependents and Navy civilian employees should also enroll in the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS), which helps leaders maintain accountability after disasters. Users should update their NFAAS accounts regularly, as outdated contact information could delay emergency responders. NFAAS now offers a smartphone app compatible with most phones. To
download the app or enroll in NFASS, visit https://navyfamily.navy.mil/cas/login Enrollment in reverse 911 is another good way to stay informed of emergency events. To enroll in these free services for Kind George County and Charles County, visit www.kgalert.com and http://www.charlescountycns.com. All Navy and Marine Corps families should have a disaster kit and plan in place before a large storm looms. “Whether you are planning for extreme weather conditions or manmade emergencies, you should prepare your household with a few safety precautions to ensure your safety and survival,”

said Tim Bennett, emergency operations manager for Naval Support Activity South Potomac.” One of the best ways is prepare an emergency survival kit or one can be purchased for under 30 dollars.” Readers should keep in mind that each family’s list will vary according to their own unique needs. Kits include food, water, prescription medication, cash, copies of important documents and quite a few additional items. Every family member should know where the kit is; this kit should be taken with the family in case of evacuation. Keeping an additional, portable kit at the workplace is also advisable. Family Emergency Plans are another critical element of hurricane preparation. The plan should include emergency contact information and a meeting place, in case members of the family become separated. Keep in mind that phone service, including cell phone service, is not always functional during and after emergencies. “Always have a family disaster plan!” said Bennett. A complete list of emer-

Naval Station Norfolk hosts march to support ‘Keep What You Earned’ NORFOLK (NNS) -More than 650 Sailors from commands throughout the Hampton Roads area marched in support of the “Keep What You’ve Earned” (KWYE) campaign on Naval Station Norfolk July 2. “Keep What You’ve Earned” is a fleet-wide campaign that encourages Sailors to make good decisions and illustrates the consequences of a bad decision. “Because one bad decision could cost you not only your Navy career, but your family and even your life,” said NSN Command Master Chief Anthony E. Adams. “Our Sailors on shore and at sea work hard and deserve what they earned. This campaign is designed to help prevent them from making a decision or a series of decisions that could cost them everything.” Sailors held up signs deglamourizing alcohol, tex-
ting while driving, domestic violence and sexual assault while they marched. “This was an opportunity to voice our concerns and opinions about serious issues that are affecting the Navy and the military as a whole,” said Adams. “We want to educate our Sailors on making choices that will help them in the future.” When the march ended at the parade field, the Sailors who participated in the march were treated to refreshments and entertainment provided by Morale, Welfare and Recreation, such as rock climbing. “The biggest part of working with ‘Keep What You’ve Earned’ is it gives us a chance to show Sailors that there are other alternatives to have fun other than going out and drinking,” said Christopher Robus, the MWR director at NSN.
“Master Chief Adams played an integral part in reaching out to us and giving us the opportunity to offer our services to our Sailors from vacations to group activities around the Hampton Roads area.” Capt. David A. Culler, commanding officer NSN, spoke to Sailors at the parade field about the importance of the campaign. “I want to see our Sailors succeed in whatever they do,” said Culler. “Sailors need to realize that they need to know the consequences of their decisions regardless of whether they are in the workplace or outside of it. I believe that this campaign is making a difference in our Navy and I trust that our Sailors will be making the right decisions and choices for themselves and their families.”

gency kit items and a sample Family Emergency Plan is accessible at: https://www.ready.navy.mil/ In rare instances, Dahlgren or Indian Head may be evacuated before a major storm makes landfall. “If you are told to evacuate by local or Navy authorities, please do so,” said Bennett. “Do not try and second guess the experts; you could lose your life. It’s that serious.” All personnel resided in base housing are responsible for their own evacuation and shelter. Making emergency arrangements with friends or family inland before such an event is therefore advisable. The same applies to Aegis Training and Readiness Center Sailors who live in the barracks. “During any ordered evacuation, the ATRC Sailors residing in the Dahlgren Barracks may transport themselves and proceed to a Safe Haven of their choosing, such as a relative or friend’s home, as long it is outside the evacuation area,” said Herbert Jansen, ATRC command security director. “Barracks Sailors without transportation or Safe Haven housing shall be bused to a designated Safe Haven. Safe Haven locations are Fort A. P. Hill, Quantico or hotels in the western part of Virginia in the area of Culpepper, Lynchburg etc.” Hurricanes and tropical storms are not the only disasters Dahlgren and Indian Head-based personnel should be aware of. “Indian Head and Dahlgren are both under threat of annual severe thunderstorms which can cause flooding, wind damage, power outages and severe lightning strikes, which can cause fires and deaths,” said Bennett. “We have recently seen in the media the devastation and destruction that they can cause.”
The South Potomac Pilot Tornadoes often go hand-in-hand with coastal storms. “Anytime we have tropical storm formulations the risk of tornados are extremely high,” said Bennett. “Tornados concern me the most, as most of the time we have only minutes to react, if at all. If you receive an alert from our PAO or local media follow their instructions immediately!” Personnel at Dahlgren and Indian Head should be prepared to be without power for at least a few days in the wake of a major storm. Power is provided to NSF Indian Head by the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative; NSF Dahlgren is serviced Dominion Virginia Power. Both Indian Head and Dahlgren have electrical assets like industrial generators maintained by Naval Facilities and Engineering Command. NAVFAC, SMECO and Dominion Virginia Power have all handled storms “extremely well,” said Bennett, who nevertheless emphasized the importance of preparation for at least three days without power. Though NAVFAC electrical assets may be used to power base housing in some situations and in non-working hours, mission-critical activities get first priority. At Indian Head, for example, some base housing along Strauss Avenue is tied into base generators. Newer base housing, however, is not. Power outages have received much publicity in the region in the last few years. Some customers were without power for several days in the wake of last year’s derecho. If the power goes out in the wake of a major storm, contact base housing. “In most cases they will already know and taken steps to restore power via NAVFAC or have already been in contact with the local electric company,” said Bennett. “If you live off-base, contact your local electric company. The last tropical storm we had where power was affected for over a week was I believe, Hurricane Earl in September of 2010. Hurricane Irene just missed us in 2012 [and] we were very lucky the track took a westward path and only gave us rain and some wind.”
