Naval Surface Warfare CenterDahlgren Division (NSWCDD)Dahlgren Division held its first PatentAwards ceremony May 21 to recog-nize and honor the command's in-ventors and patents.

"The individuals we honor todayhave taken on arduous tasks to findtechnological solutions to challengesfacing our warfighters and the Fleet,"said NSWCDD Commander Capt.Michael Smith and NSWCDDTechni-cal Director Carl Siel in the brochurelisting 26 patent holders honored for14 patents. "Through their keen ob-servation and true genius, our patentawardees have created more effectiveand accurate weapon mechanismsand platforms, increased the capabil-ities of sensor and other systems, andenhanced physical safety."

Over the past 10 years, 154 patentshave been awarded to NSWCDahlgren personnel - top problemsolvers who recognized a need, as-sessed the problem and persisted un-til they found solutions.

"You are truly the members of anelite group," keynote speaker Cather-

ine Donovan, Counsel to the Office ofNaval Research, told the awardees.

"Receiving a U.S. patent is a signifi-cant event. It's a formal recognitionthat an invention is in a very specialclass of inventions - those worthy of apatent. A patent is also an opportuni-ty to use your skills and knowledge totransfer the invention to the privatesector. While patenting is a team ef-fort, the critical team player is you, theemployee inventor. You are the cre-ator and innovator."

Capt. Smith referred to ThomasEdison's famous quote - "genius isone percent inspiration and 99 per-cent perspiration" - in his welcomingremarks. "Third, it takes persever-ance," emphasized the NSWCDDCommander. "That is why our patentholders are key to NSWC Dahlgren'sability to meet the needs of today'swarfighters and the fleet as well as toprepare for the Navy of the future."

The patents represent a culmina-tion of effort by many individuals, in-cluding the inventors, the InventionEvaluation Board members, thepatent attorneys, and others whoconceive - and reduced to practice -the technological innovations arisingfrom the command's research and

During the month of May,the Cartridge and PropellantActuated Device (CAD/PAD)Joint Program supported twoworkshops sponsored byNAVAIR's Program Manage-ment Air (PMA) 201 at theCollege of Southern Mary-land's La Plata campus.

Both workshops focusedon ensuring a robustCAD/PAD industry for theU.S. and its foreign cus-tomers as they gathered insouthern Maryland near theprogram's management ac-tivity. Both forums providedopportunities to discuss newinitiatives and emerging re-quirements.

The CAD/PAD program isadministered through a JointProgram Office (JPO) staffedby Naval Surface WarfareCenter, Indian Head Division(NSWC IHD) employees.TheCAD/PAD Joint Program Of-fice (JPO) is the only Depart-ment of Defense program of-

fice that specializes in com-plete life cycle managementof CAD/PAD items.

NSWC IHD's Systems En-gineering Department'sCAD/PAD Division executesthe development, engineer-ing, acquisition and logisticssupport functions for thesedevices. Additionally, thecommand's Applied Tech-nology Department pro-duces approximately 10 per-cent of the yearly replace-ment requirement and con-

ducts qualification, lot ac-ceptance and surveillancetesting of the devices.

"At Indian Head Division,we value supporting work-shops like this, because weare committed to dynamiccommunication, coordina-tion and collaborationamong CAD/PAD profes-sionals," said Captain AndyBuduo, NSWC IHD's com-manding officer.

Most CADs/PADs are ex-plosive components installed

on aircraft and other vehiclesto save lives during emergen-cies, such as clearing escapepaths, extinguishing fires andejecting aircrew out of air-craft.

CADs/PADs are also usedin other scenarios, includingdelivering weapons on target,jettisoning equipment fromaircraft or deploying certaintypes of parachutes.

The first meeting was the22nd CAD/PAD InternationalLogistics Meeting (ILM) heldMay 1-3. The ILM workshopis for military personnel whoorder, maintain and handleCAD/PAD devices.

According to MikeThornton, the CAD/PAD Di-vision Director, the ILM givesusers at the end of theCAD/PAD supply chain theopportunity to discuss logis-tical issues directly with theJPO.

"This is a meeting wherethose who manageCADs/PADs at the deckplatecan tell us what their issuesare and make suggestions for

For 38 years, through thick and thin,Pam Clements has served commands onboard Naval Support Facility (NSF) IndianHead. After a distinguished career with theNaval Surface Warfare Center Indian HeadDivision (NSWC IHD) and the Naval Ord-nance Safety and Security Activity (NOS-SA), Clements will retire to focus on family,education, sewing and travel.

Clements' story began in 1974, a timewhen the military was downsizing after theVietnam War and facing cuts, a time notunlike the present. What started as a way topay for law school became a long and suc-cessful career, though the journey was notwithout its bumps.

"While I was qualified for a higher posi-tion, I accepted a GS-2 administrative po-sition at Indian Head just to get a job, think-ing that I would just stay long enough toearn money to possibly go to law school,"she said. "My first week of work was a dis-aster."

Poor communication from the humanresources and the seemingly endless myri-ad of military acronyms left Clements dis-couraged. The lack of uniformed servicepersonnel on board the installation addedto the confusion of a young employee whowanted to contribute to the war effort.

"Everyone was so busy that first weekand it seemed they were just working

around me and not assigning me work be-cause it took a lot of explaining in 'plainlanguage' to get me to know how to do thework," said Clements.

By Friday, Clements had enough andtendered her resignation. "That was a piv-otal day for me," she said. "My supervisor

stopped what he was doing immediately,sat me down and told me that we just need-ed to 'start over' on Monday. "He told me itwas his fault, not mine and that while I hadonly been there a week, he valued me andwhat I could potentially bring to the organ-ization and he asked that I give him anoth-

er opportunity to help me acclimate to thejob."

Clements accepted the offer. "Needlessto say, 38 years later I am still here," shesaid.

Importance of leadership,accountability

"From the start I learned the importantrole that leadership and accountabilityplay in the success of the Navy. I learnedthat the most important work of leader-ship is to support their staff, to make themsuccessful. I have carried that lesson withme throughout my career."

Along with learning leadership skills,Clements pursued educational expertisein environmental science, but the end ofthe Vietnam War in 1975 presented a newset of challenges in the form of a reductionin force (RIF) in 1976.

"Just as my position was abolished, In-dian Head had to start applying for envi-ronmental wastewater permits and at thesame time they were starting up a fledglingorganization called the Ordnance Environ-mental Support Office (OESO)," saidClements. "Fortunately for me, I hadgained education and experience in envi-ronmental science and Ivan Tominack, along-time manager at Indian Head saw po-tential in me and hired me to manage thepermits and wastewater sampling program

Members of the organizationchartered by Virginia's General As-sembly to attract businesses to theCommonwealth toured Naval Sup-port Facility (NSF) Dahlgren onMay 24 to discuss the installation'srole in the economy of the state'sNorthern Neck region.

Leaders of theVirginia Econom-ic Development Partnership(VEDP) met with Navy officialsfrom Naval Support Activity SouthPotomac (NSASP), Aegis BallisticMissile Defense (BMD) and theNaval Surface Warfare CenterDahlgren Division (NSWCDD).Thegoal: learn about the diverse mis-sion sets of those commands andhow they might be affected by on-going uncertainty in the federalbudget. The group also discussedDahlgren's prospects for growthand offered their assistance as anadvocate of the base to the privatesector.

The delegation was joined byNicole Thompson, economic de-velopment director for King GeorgeCounty, and Ted Hontz, chairmanof the Fredericksburg RegionalChamber of Commerce's MilitaryAffairs Council and a former com-manding officer of the Aegis Train-ing and Readiness Center (ATRC).

According to a study led bySteven Fuller, director of the Centerfor Regional Analysis at George Ma-son University, approved and pro-jected budget cuts to the Depart-ment of Defense (DoD) will hit theVirginia economy especially hard.In fiscal year 2013, the study proj-ects just over $45 billion in reducedmilitary equipment acquisitionsacross DoD. In Virginia, that worksout to 122,800 job losses, $7.4 bil-lion in lost earnings and a $10.8 bil-lion reduction in gross state prod-uct (GSP).

The study put the common-wealth just below California, interms of the economic damage ofreductions in military equipmentacquisitions.

The latter state, however, hasmore than four times the popula-tion ofVirginia, making the project-ed losses here especially painful.

"This is my first visit toDahlgren," said Martin Briley,VEDP's president and CEO. "TheVirginia Economic DevelopmentPartnership works with the Secre-tary of Commerce and Trade andGovernor McDonnell: we're look-ing very closely at what is happen-ing in the federal government envi-ronment right now and at militarybases."

Within the troubled budget pic-ture, however, there are a few bright

spots on board NSF Dahlgren.Scott Perry, director of program

operations for Aegis BMD, told thedelegation about his organization'smost recent successful intercept ofa ballistic missile over the PacificOcean in a test conducted on May9. The program is a key element ofEuropean Phased Adaptive Ap-proach (PAA) of missile defensethat will eventually deploy a land-based version of naval anti-missiletechnology to Romania andPoland.

Perry described the program'srapid evolution since Aegis-equipped ships were found to becapable of tracking Scud missileslaunched at Israel during the 1991Gulf War. The observation led tofast-paced investigation into po-tential capabilities of using theAegis system to defeat ballistic mis-siles, proving out the concept andrapidly expanding the Fleet's ca-pacity in this mission area. Morethan 100 SM-3 missiles and 24ships are on line with the U.S. Navytoday.

"You know the saying 'hit a bul-let with a bullet' analogy you readabout in the newspaper?" askedPerry. "I'd like to modify it a bit.

The SM-3 isn't dumb like a bul-let and it goes much faster: you're

for the base, and to help bring his vi-sion of the OESO to life."

As a newly-minted environmentalassistant, Clements was set on a pro-fessional course that would see herthrough rest of her career, from GS-5 toGS-15. In 1986, she took on a supervi-sor role at OESO and would eventuallymanage a staff of 12.

While Clements never did fulfill herlaw school dream, she made a definiteimpact in the legislative affairs of theDepartment of Defense (DoD). "In the1990s I worked heavily with OPNAVand OSD staff on legislation to allowDoD to self-regulate on issues relatedto explosives as hazardous waste,based on explosives safety criteria al-ready established by the Departmentof Defense Explosives Safety Board,"she said. "After many years of negotia-tions, the bill was passed and exists to-day."

When OESO transitioned fromNSWC IHD to the then-new commandof NOSSA in 2000, Clements took herenvironmental expertise to the organ-ization. The goal: integrate the Navy'senvironmental program for explosiveswith explosives safety policy.

Clements retires as director of ex-plosives safety operations for NOSSA,but not without helping institutional-ize the leadership lesson she learnedduring her first week of work. "NOSSA,Navy HRO, and DDESB were able toconvince the Office of Personnel Man-agement to establish a professional ca-reer path series for explosives safetyspecialists which will allow those in the

explosives safety profession to have aclear career progression path, which inturn will attract those with explosivessafety expertise to this career."

Clements pulled no punches whenanswering a question about what shewill and won't miss.

"I will most certainly miss the dailycontact with the wonderful people thatI have worked with in the Navy, in oth-er services, DoD, and in other venuesacross the industry," she said. "I willmiss being a part of the daily executionof the Navy's mission. I have come tolove the Navy and all that it stands for.

"I will not miss budget drills and lis-tening to or reading false press reportsabout the Navy and about the 'poor'work ethic of government employeesin general. To me the term 'goodenough for government work' meansthat it is the best people, bringing theirbest skills, to produce the best prod-ucts and services to support and pro-tect our war fighters."

No 'shrapnel in her wake'Clements staff, peers and boss were

unanimous in their opinion. "What'sremarkable about [Clements] is thebreadth of her experience," said Capt.Jason Gilbert, NOSSA commanding of-ficer. "Not only did she have purviewover all of the Navy's ordnance envi-ronmental concerns, she was directlyresponsible for promulgating the poli-cy and guidance for the safety of allconventional ordnance that Navy wasconcerned with. Her work was very,very significant."

"Pam asked me to come work forher in May 1993 at OESO, and I havenot regretted a day since," said Mar-garet Hayes, a NOSSA employee.

"Throughout the 19 years I haveworked with Pam, she has taught memany valuable 'nuggets' and I alwaysknew she had my back when I reallybelieved in something.

"She pushed me hard on things thatI did not have the confidence to do onmy own, which made me a betterworker and person. Pam's visionarystrategy will forward NOSSA's missionfor many years to come."

"I've worked with Pam for the lastsix years (some of those years as her as-sistant) and she has always been verykind to the people who are in her sec-tion," said Sue Wells, executive assis-tant at NOSSA. "She gets things doneand knows how to hold her own, butnever in an unkind or demeaning way.

"Pam has the perfect combinationof skills that enable her to bulletthrough her job requirements withoutleaving shrapnel in her wake. We willall miss her very much."

Clements plans on spending her re-tirement reaching new educationalgoals, sewing, volunteering and travel-ing. When her husband Brad retires,the couple plans to go on a rail tour toAlaska and a cruise. But Clements willmiss her colleagues.

"All that I am, and all that I haveachieved throughout my career is be-cause someone believed in me, some-one supported me, someone taughtme and someone gave me an opportu-nity to succeed," she said.

"I owe a lifetime of gratitude to all ofmy supervisors and co-workers whohave demonstrated leadership andheld me accountable for my work.These people deserve the credit forhelping me to have a wonderful andmeaningful career."

ing, using, or selling one's inventions is fundamental to the fi-nancial success of innovative businesses," said Donovan.

The ONR Counsel then cross-examined herself.How does that cornerstone of financial profit apply to in-

ventions made at Navy Research facilities? Why do we seek topatent our inventions?

"The taxpayer benefits, the Navy benefits, and our inven-tors benefit," said Donovan, citing three reasons:

- Provide a technological return to the taxpayer by licensingour inventions to U.S. businesses so that these inventions maybe commercially developed for public use.

- Obtain defensive protection for the Navy so that otherscannot obtain patents to Navy inventions and then block theNavy from using our own inventions.

- To attain international recognition, and potential financialremuneration, for the inventors of useful, novel, and non-obvi-ous inventions.

Capt. Smith pointed out that the patents also ensure theNavy's ability to integrate complex systems and work smarterin addition to saving time and money.

Maryland Comptroller Franchot and the IRS warn of scam using fraudulent emailsANNAPOLIS, MD - Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot, following the lead of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS),

warned Marylanders today of an emerging scam involving fraudulent emails.The emails, being sent to military personnel,military retirees and civilian employees, indicate that individuals who are receiving disability compensation from the De-partment of Veteran Affairs (VA) may be eligible to obtain additional funds from the IRS.

"We want to inform every Marylander of this scam," said Comptroller Franchot. "In these tough economic times, un-scrupulous people prey on the vulnerabilities of others. While an unexpected windfall may sound mighty appealing, weurge Marylanders not to take the bait."

The email appears to come from Defense Finance and Accounting Services, and while the email address displays a.mil domain, it is not a legitimate government email address.

The email states that by sending copies of VA award letters, income tax returns, 1099-Rs, Retiree Account Statementsand DD 214s to a colonel at an address in Florida, individuals who are currently receivingVA disability compensation canreceive additional funds from the IRS.

To avoid falling victim to this or other scams, the IRS reminders taxpayers to beware of the following:1. Fictitious claims for refunds or rebates based on false statements of entitlement to tax credits2. Emails from unfamiliar senders asking for personal information3. Internet solicitation that direct individuals to toll-free numbers and then solicit Social Security numbers or other

personal informationFor further protection, if you receive suspicious correspondence from the IRS or the Comptroller of Maryland, contact

the respective office to verify the information.

Naval Surface Warfare Center DahlgrenDivision (NSWCDD) held an Asian-Pacific Is-lander Heritage Month observance at theAegis Training and Fleet Readiness Auditori-um May 22, recognizing the contributions ofAsian Americans and Pacific Islanders to thenation and the Navy.

The theme this year was "Striving for Ex-cellence in Leadership, Diversity, and Inclu-sion."

“Diversity has made our nation and ourNavy stronger,” said NSWCDD CommanderCapt. Michael Smith in his opening remarks.“To benefit the most from that diversity, everyindividual, military or civilian, must be en-couraged and enabled to reach his or her fullpotential. This is an important goal at NSWCDahlgren and key to our mission success.”

Three keynote speakers inspired theDahlgren audience to reach their full poten-tials and to make an impact with diversethoughts, ideas and competencies.

Ms. Giao Phan - the Coast Guard DeputyDirector of Acquisition Programs since No-vember 2007 - said that excellence in leader-ship requires setting goals; being passionateabout what you do; learning to communicatewell; and knowing the importance of mentor-ing.

Phan said that the Naval Sea SystemsCommand leadership development programhelped her to aim higher in her career, ex-plaining it was important for her to stretch be-yond engineering and learn more about fi-nancial management. Phan emphasized thatshe believes it is important to repay her debtand her people's debt to the United Statesmilitary for what they did for her country,Vietnam. She also credited her volunteerismas being important in teaching her organiza-tional skills.

"What is diversity?" Ms. Ye-Ling Wang,Deputy Program Manager PEO Carriers,asked the audience.

It depends on who you talk to, said Wang,pointing out that her co-worker believes di-versity translates to, “women in leadershiproles”.

Wang, the Deputy Program Manager forthe Future Aircraft Carriers Program – a male-centric organization – said she understandsher co-worker's perspective of diversity.However, what makes us strong, said Wang,

are all the diverse ideas we can pull together.Wang spoke about the evolution of think-

ing of diversity in terms of the diversity ofideas. Older generations may still think interms of gender, race, ethnic background andreligion but the younger generation tends tolook at differences in approaches, skills, andtalents, she said.

The event’s third guest speaker, ProfessorNguyen Bich, focused on inclusion.

The long road of integration in Americawas just beginning when Dr. Bich arrived inthe United States in 1956.

Americans have a long history of beingEurocentric, Bich pointed out, adding that weare beginning to see that we are a country be-tween two oceans.

The Hanoi,Vietnam—born educator, lec-turer, author and translator quoted numbersfrom the 2010 census and the latest reportsshowing the growth of U.S. minorities andthat by 2020 – Caucasians will be the minority.

Inclusion is a two-way process, said Bich,who taught Literature, Culture and Civiliza-tion at George Mason University’sTrinity Col-lege.

In closing, the professor and co-founderof the National News Service – which providesnews for readers of Vietnamese language tonewspapers worldwide – sang a Vietnameselove song, making the point that we may notunderstand the language but we can relate tothe passion and universal human experience.

In 1977, then-President Jimmy Carter es-tablished the first official Asian and PacificAmerican Heritage Week during the first 10days of May. The month of May was chosento both commemorate the immigration of thefirst Japanese people to the United States May7, 1843, and mark the anniversary of the com-pletion of the first transcontinental railroadMay 10, 1869. The majority of the individualswho laid the tracks on the first transcontinen-tal railroad were Chinese immigrants.

Twelve years later, then-President GeorgeH.W. Bush extended the observance through-out the entire month of May. In 1992, themonth long celebration was officially signedinto law and named Asian and Pacific Amer-ican Heritage Month.

"Asian Americans and Pacific Islandershave persevered and flourished, achievingsuccess in every sector of American life," not-

ed President Barack Obama in his 2010 Pres-idential Proclamation. "They stood shoulderto shoulder with their fellow citizens duringthe civil rights movement; they have servedproudly in our Armed Forces; and they haveprospered as leaders in business, academia,and public service."

Excellence in leadership, diversity highlighted atAsian-Pacific Islander Heritage Month observance

Ms. Giao Phan, the U.S. CoastGuard Deputy Director of Acquisi-tion Programs, tells the Dahlgrenaudience celebrating Asian-PacificIslander Heritage Month obser-vance at the Aegis Training andFleet Readiness Auditorium that ex-cellence in leadership requires set-ting goals; being passionate aboutwhat you do; learning to communi-cate well; and knowing the impor-tance of mentoring.

Diversity and InclusionDuring World War II, Chinese and Japan-

ese American men and women enlisted formilitary service in great numbers. More than20,000 Chinese Americans – or one out ofevery five in the United States – served in theU.S. Armed Forces. Filipino and KoreanAmericans also participated in the nation’swar effort. Asian Pacific American Navy menand women continued to serve honorably inthe U.S. Navy and participated in the Koreanand Vietnam wars and throughout the ColdWar. In 1971, the Navy formally lifted the re-strictions that had previously limited Philip-pine-born recruits in the Navy to the stewardrating only. Asian Pacific Americans continueto serve in our Navy today, with more than20,000 represented in our Navy Total Force.Today, the Navy remains strongly committedto diversity and inclusion, creating a culturewhere everyone can give their best efforts tocarry out the mission.

Facts and Figures- Nine admirals, 11 members of the sen-

ior executive service, and 191 master chiefpetty officers of Asian and Pacific Americanheritage are currently leading the Navy.

- There are more than 340,000 veteransof Asian and Pacific American heritage, ap-proximately 1.5 percent of the 23 millionAmerican veterans.

- The Navy History and Heritage Com-mand’s website, www.history.navy.mil/in-dex.html, features photos and biographies ofmany Asian and Pacific American Sailorswho have served in the Navy.

Aegis BMD has a bright future in the grow-ing arena of missile defense. "We're just get-ting started," said Perry. "We've literally got 40more years."

Aegis BMD's location, near the Naval Airand Missile Defense Command (NAMDC),the Aegis Training and Readiness Center(ATRC), and the Center for Surface CombatSystems (CSCS), has helped enable the rapidincrease in capabilities. "The people whomake Aegis BMD real are all right here," saidPerry.

The visit also included an overview brief-ing on NSWCDD capabilities and programsby Capt. Michael Smith, along with a presen-tation and tour by NSWCDD's Chemical, Bi-ological and Radiological (CBR) Defensebranch. There, the delegation learned abouthow technology has evolved beyond defend-ing ships from CBR substances.The protective

filters developed at CBR Defense were adapt-ed for use in buildings and the organization'sadvanced computer modeling capability canhelp emergency managers plan for disasters.

Briley thanked his hosts as the delegationdeparted. "We're very pleased that NicoleThompson, the economic development di-rector of King George County, brought thisgroup together to be hosted by [NSASP Com-manding Officer] Capt. Pete Nette and we'regrateful to him," he said.

"The presentations we've seen today havebeen eye-opening to say the least. Dahlgrenhas a terrific reputation and coming here to-day, having a few hours to talk with the lead-ership, has given us a much closer view of justhow important the facility is and some of theamazing accomplishments that have takenplace here."

Briley pledged his organizations' supportto commands and activities at Dahlgren.

"We've learned a lot and made new friendsand new partnerships," he said. "We'll contin-ue to work together to see what Governor Mc-Donnell's administration and the VirginiaEconomic Development Partnership can doto be helpful."

improvement," said Thorn-ton.

Tracking CADs/PADs is amajor undertaking. Expertsin escape system mechanics,parachute rigging, ordnanceand maintenance manage-ment track over 550,000 in-stalled explosive parts on dif-ferent systems. More than90,000 of these devices alsoget replaced each year.

CAD/PAD employeesalso handle more than a mil-lion CADs each year to sup-port weapons release, coun-termeasures and sonobuoyoperations, and the ILM hashad direct impacts on supplychain delivery.

"The majority of our lo-gistical process improve-ments we've made over theyears have started from thesemeetings," said Lee Manis,the CAD/PAD Deputy Assis-tant Program Manager forLogistics. "We've savedsomething on the order of

150 recurring man yearsbased on input from theFleet."

Another benefit thatcame out of the ILM was de-livery time of components."In the past, it used to take 30to 35 days for our Fleet cus-tomers to get theirCADs/PADs," said KarlLehman, CAD/PAD LogisticsBranch Manager. "Now, ittakes less than 14 days."

The second meeting wasthe ninth CAD/PAD Techni-cal ExchangeWorkshop heldMay 22-24. This bi-annualevent promotes the long-term health and economiccompetitiveness of theCAD/PAD industry by shar-ing information among pri-vate industry, academia, na-tional labs and governmentagencies.

"This forum provides aninvaluable opportunity todiscuss new initiatives andrecent and emerging re-quirements," said TravisThom, the CAD/PADTechni-cal Exchange Workshop co-ordinator.

"It is the only inter-orga-

nizational meeting dedicat-ed to presenting new tech-nologies and program up-dates relevant to theCAD/PAD industry, whichultimately benefits futurewarfighting capabilitiesthrough the incorporation ofnew technology, increasedproduct reliability and readi-ness at potential reducedcosts."

At their core, both pro-grams measure progress bythe same metric.

"Our whole purpose is tohelp our customer," said DeeHolt, the program's ForeignMilitary Sales Logistics Man-agement Specialist Coordi-nator. "We measure our suc-cess by their success."

As the largest Depart-ment of Defense full-spec-trum energetics facility,NSWC Indian Head Divisionis one of 10 Naval Sea Sys-tems Command WarfareCenter Divisions. NSWCIHD's mission is to research,develop, test, evaluate andproduce energetics and en-ergetic systems for fightingforces around the globe.
