The Budget Control Act of2011 and its automatic provi-sions for budget sequestrationset in place yearly reductionsin government spending until2022. The cuts to DoD sched-uled for fiscal years 2014 and2015weremoderatedby theBi-partisanBudgetAct of 2013, but

June Drake stood beforethe nation’s top military,government civilian, aca-demia, and private industryunmanned systems expertswho convened here lastweek and answered an un-spoken question.

“Some of you may bethinking - why do we needanother Unmanned Systemsmeeting?” said Drake, NavalSurfaceWarfare Center Dahl-gren Division (NSWCDD)Chief Technology Officeras she kicked off the com-mand’s first Unmanned Sys-tems Integration Workshopand Technical ExchangeMeeting at the University ofMary Washington Dahlgrencampus Aug. 20.

Drake answered thequestion in practical terms.

“Our goal is simple,” saidDrake, pointing out restric-tions at similar industry andgovernment forums. “This isa low cost, high-value inter-active forum for practitio-ners to share information onwork-in-progress, to shareideas, lessons learned, tips,techniques and experiences

in an informal setting.”NSWCDD Commander

Capt. Brian Durant alsoshared his perspective uponwelcoming the 175 partici-pants.

“There is no doubt thatUnmanned Systems In-tegration presents manychallenges in the comingyears as more and moresystems are fielded,” said

Durant, naming a litany ofjoint services, DoD labo-ratories, corporations anduniversities representa-tives from across the coun-try in attendance, point-

ing out that, “the topic istimely.”

Throughout the event,the military and civilianpractitioners made it clearto Durant and Drake thatan annual NSWCDD un-manned systems techni-cal exchange is vital to thetechnology’s developmentin DoD.

“The Unmanned SystemsIntegration Workshop was agreat opportunity for lead-ers from academia, industry,and DoD to come togetherand discuss the technical,ethical, and policy issuessurrounding the future ofunmanned systems,” saidCmdr. Shawn Cowan, Se-nior Military Deputy for Hu-man Systems Engineeringat NSWCDD. “Sharing in-formation on the research,acquisition, and operationallessons learned from theseprograms ensures NAVSEA(Naval Sea Systems Com-mand) is providing innova-tive and cost effective solu-tions for the warfighter. I’mlooking forward to futureworkshops and involvingmore fleet representativesto provide their feedback

Purchase for LowestLife-Cycle Cost

Is purchasing energy efficient equipment theright thing to do for the planet, or is it the law (forfederal buyers)?

It’s both! The law requires that we buy prod-ucts with the lowest life-cycle cost, not the lowestfirst cost. The Environmental Protection Agency’sENERGY STAR program labels products such asappliances, electronics, building components,heaters and air conditioners, lights, fans and wa-ter heaters that meet energy efficiency standards.Visit http://www.energystar.gov/

The Federal Energy Management Programprovides additional guidelines. Visit http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/technologies/pro-curing_eeproducts.html

This really makes sense. In fact, the cost to buya piece of energy using equipment is often just afraction of what it will cost to power the equipmentover its life. Reducing energy consumption reducesour carbon footprint, reduces our demand on thegrid, and saves money in the long run!

Base Happenings

and expertise is one of theforemost responsibilities ofCongress, said Hoyer, thoughmeeting that responsibility be-come increasingly challenging.

“In the words of TomClancy, it is a clear and presentdanger andno one ought to di-minish the challenges we havein funding the defense estab-lishment and its future. Budgetsequestration starts with ‘s,’which stands for stupid. Noneof you would run your publicor private enterprises on thetheory of sequestration.

“Sequestration was a num-ber that was pulled out of theair that bore no relationshipto our responsibilities, chal-lenges or opportunities,” Hoy-er continued. “It was simply anumber so draconian that theCongress would avoid it byreaching so-called big deal. Be-causetheCongress,asyouhaveundoubtedlynoted, is dysfunc-tional and unproductive, it didnot do so.”

Hoyer acknowledged thatthe Bipartisan Budget Act of2013, also known as the Ryan-Murray Compromise, was astep toward undoing the dam-

age of the sequester, but saidthe law did not go far enough.“The deal only avoided se-questration for two years: fis-cal year 2014 and fiscal year2015. This is not some esoteric[argument]-this will have realconsequences for the opera-tions for the Department ofDefense.”

DoD’s budget cannot keeppacewith inflationasa resultofthe sequester, said Hoyer, norwill it allow the Armed Forcestostayaheadofevolvingthreatssuchas the Islamic State of Iraqand the Levant (ISIL).

“Ladies and gentlemen, ifyou care about the defense ofour nation, if you care aboutthe investments on the domes-tic side like education, healthcare, infrastructure, scienceandresearch,weneedtohaveabigdeal,” saidHoyer. “Weneedto have some resolution of thefiscal confrontations that haveoccurred.”

currently undergoing CPO 365training and will be officiallypinnedonSept.16. “Theselect-eeswillworktogether inanum-ber of team-building exercises,as well as conduct fundraisingevents,” she said.

NSASP-based commandsalso recently hosted the high-est ranking naval officers fromSouth Korea and the UnitedKingdom and participated inseveralcommunityoutreaches,such as a rocket competition inDahlgren.FeinbergalsopraisedNSWCIHEODTD for continu-ing its 25 years of support forthe Charles County Fair. Thisyear’s fair is Sept. 11 -14 andwill include displays from theMarines and Sailors of the NSFIndian Head-based ChemicalBiological Incident ResponseForce (CBIRF).

Feinberg highlighted theUnmanned Aerial System(UAS) testingatNSFDahlgren’smain runway in June, the firstfixed-wing flight from the in-stallation in more than a de-cade. The testing was a collab-orative effort between the Na-val Air Warfare Center AircraftDivision (NAWCAD) and theNaval Surface Warfare CenterDahlgrenDivision (NSWCDD).

Planning for thecelebrationofNSFIndianHead’s125thAn-niversary, to take place next fallat the Village Green Pavilion,has begun, said Feinberg. “Wewant to reach out to formeremployees [of Indian Head] sothey can share their stories andhelp us celebrate. More detailswill be available soon and wehope you’ll all help us honorsuch a greatmilestone. “

NSF IH JLUS updateAmy Blessinger, project

manager for the Charles Coun-tyDepartment of Planning andGrowthManagement, updatedthe COMREL about the prog-ress of the ongoing NSF IndianHead JLUS. “What is a jointland use study? It is a coopera-tive planning effort between amilitary installation and thesurrounding communities topromote compatible com-munity growth and preservemilitary mission and defensecapabilities.

“In our case,” Blessingercontinued, “it is a cooperativebetween NSF Indian Head,the Town of Indian Head andCharlesCounty.”

The JLUS is funded by theDoD Office of Economic Ad-justment; the process helpspreserve the quality of life incommunities surrounding

military installations,whilealsopreventing off-base develop-ment from hindering on-baseoperations.

“The study recently began,”said Blessinger. “Wedevelopeda policy committee and a tech-nicalcommittee tostartdelvinginto thepotential issues.”

Thus far, the committeeshave not found that noisefrom the base is a significantimpact to the surroundingcommunity. Another issueunder discussion is the revi-talization of the Town of In-dian Head. “Everyone agreesthose efforts will greatly ben-efit the base, the town andthe county,” said Blessinger.

Input from the public willplay a prominent role in theJLUS as the study moves for-ward. “We want everyone toget involved,” said Blessinger.“The next big thing will be thefirst public forum for the studysometime in the fall.”

Beginning Sept. 1, 2014, the Armed Ser-vices Exchange has authorized visitors tomilitary installations, civilian U.S. govern-ment employees, and employees of rec-ognized welfare organizations supportingthe military service, to purchase “food andbeverages sold at any exchange food activ-ity, if consumed on base.” Traditionally,access has been limited to purchases fromNEX food courts, restaurants, and other lo-cations where food sales were the primaryfocus. Recent guidance, however, supportsa more expanded definition, to include anyNEX facility that sells food items that areassociated with on base consumption asa meal or snack item to include non-al-coholic beverages. NEX facilities at NavalSupport Facility (NSF) Dahlgren and NSFIndian Head are included in the new in-struction.

Food and beverages authorized for saleinclude non-alcoholic carbonated/non-carbonated beverages and all food itemsthat will be consumed on the installation(such as snacks, single-serve items, mi-crowavable items, etc.). Applicable prod-uct sizes will include single serve or pack-aging contents that may be reasonablyconsumed while on the base. This policy

specifically excludes the sale of alcohol,tobacco and other non-food and beverageproducts.

Normal ID checks are still required. Forpurchases that are solely for food and bev-erage items meant for on base consump-tion, an ID with exchange privileges is notrequired.

Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division(NSWCDD) recognized a di-verse group of employees fortheir effective responses to afire during a ribbon-cuttingceremony here Aug. 21.

The fire in Building 1470started due to an overheat-ed wire in the early hoursof April 15, but was quicklycontained by the building’ssprinkler system and by aprompt response by the Na-val Support Activity SouthPotomac (NSASP) Fire De-partment. The ceremonymarked the successful com-pletion of repairs to the siteafter extensive coordina-tion among Dahlgren-basedcommands.

NSWCDD personnelfrom multiple departmentscame together to find cre-ative solutions to ensure thecommand’s mission-criticalwork could continue whilethe affected area was re-paired. Those repairs beganimmediately after the fire,as Naval Facilities Engineer-ing Command Washington(NAVFACWASH) employ-ees assigned to Dahlgrenworked to return the build-ing to normal operations.

“This was an outstand-ing effort by all concernedand I congratulate you foryour can-do spirit in keep-ing with the highest tradi-tions of Dahlgren and the

U.S. Navy,” said Capt. BrianDurant, NSWCDD com-mander.

Durant thanked all whocontributed to the com-

mand’s speedy recoveryfrom the fire. Moreover,he recognized several indi-viduals with special thanks,including Michael Shively,

architect for NAVFACWASHand the project-designmanager of the reconstruc-tion project, and RachaelArguelles, a contract man-

ager for NAVFACWASH,who kept the project on atight timeline.

Durant also recognizedother NAVFACWASH em-

ployees for their outstand-ing response on the day ofthe incident. Michael Pau-ley, electronics mechanic,helped make emergency re-pairs and secured the site’sfire alarms. Brodie Meir,maintenance mechanic, ledthe repairs that day.

Matt Calvin, the ownerof Battle Creek Construc-tion, ensured that his proj-ect manager and company’sefforts focused onmanagingand executing this project ina timely manner, said Du-rant.

The monumental taskof coordinating the build-ing and security response,as well as ensuring seatsfor displaced individuals,was the responsibility ofEverett Wiles, NSWCDDStrategic Systems Designand Implementation Divi-sion branch head. “[Wiles]worked across departmentsto facilitate the recovery,and represents many fromNSWCDD who pulled to-gether on the recovery op-eration,” said Durant.

Finally, Durant thankedChief Michael Murray andFire Capt. Gene Jordan ofthe NSASP Fire Department.“The Fire Department notonly responded promptlyand ensured the fire wasout, but his team did theirbest to minimize damag-ing expensive doors andvented the smoke promptlyso workers could enter on-time,” he said.

and shape the direction offuture systems.”

The answers to Drake’squestion continued afterthe technical exchange.

“This workshop has beenboth timely and vital,” saidDr. Daniel Wallace, theNavy’s Technical WarrantHolder for Displays and Hu-man Factors Engineering.

“Timely, in that there isa virtual explosion recentlyin the exploitation of un-manned systems in boththe commercial and DoDsectors. With such rapid ex-pansion, there is both chaosand opportunity. The chal-lenges we face involve legalissues, moral debate, andconsideration of the properroles of humans (as super-visors of the technology),as well as the more com-mon system developmentand programmatic issues ofcost, schedule, efficacy, andefficiency, make this a vitalissue to address now.”

Moreover, unmannedsystems are increasinglybeing called upon to carryweapons.

“We need a unified strat-egy to tackle these issuesacross the joint DoD andfederal level, and with ourcoalition partners as well,”said Wallace. “This work-shop and the cooperationwith TTCP (The TechnicalCooperation Program) willreduce the risks associatedwith integrating these un-manned technologies.”

Dr. Yvonne Masakows-ki, Naval Undersea War-fare Center (NUWC) Hu-man Factors Psychologist,outlined TTCP’s interestin unmanned systems asa focus area. According toits website, “The Techni-cal Cooperation Programis an international orga-nization that collaboratesin defense scientific andtechnical information ex-change, program harmoni-zation and alignment, andshared research activitiesfor the five nations (Austra-lia, Canada, New Zealand,United Kingdom, and theUnited States).”

At one point, Wallacejoined panelists from theOffice of Naval Research,NSWC Indian Head Divi-sion, NSWCDD, and theSouthwest Research Insti-tute in a discussion aboutthe challenges the techni-cal community faces in theintegration of unmannedsystems throughout thescience, technology andacquisition cycle into warf-ighter accepted unmannedsystems.

“Integrating unmannedsystems into the Fleet hasalways been the biggestchallenge”, said Ajoy ‘AJ’Muralidhar, NSWCDD Hu-man Systems Integration

engineer and the event’slead organizer. “Technologyhurdles can be overcome,but true unmanned systemsintegration requires us toalter our entire approachto warfighting to obtain themaximum benefit from thenew capabilities”.

In all, 21 unmannedsystems experts presented16 briefs, including: Trust:An Important Concept forArmy Unmanned SystemsApplications; DecisionMak-ing for Human-MachineCollaboration in ComplexEnvironments; and Integra-tion of an Autonomous Un-manned Aircraft Systems(UAS) in the Carrier ControlArea: UAS Operator Levelof Intervention and Opera-tional Observations.

“The energy that hasbeen built around this topicwas evident not just by thetechnical, but also the phil-osophical temperament ofthe questions being raisedthroughout the day,” saidGreg Buchanan, NSWCDDPlatform System SafetyBranch engineer. “If un-manned systems are to be-come integral to the way wedo warfare, then it will takeinvestment from many cor-ners of DoD and applicablecivilian communities at alllevels. It will also take anunderstanding of how thenew mission capabilities ofthese systems will impactour current systems andthe warfighter in a systemsof systems environment.”

NSWCDD engineer JohnCanning, who presentedthe event’s first brief, toldhis colleagues why it’s ad-vantageous, from a moralstandpoint, to pursue thedevelopment of autono-mous weapon systems.

Most DoD scientists andengineers don’t have towrestle with the ethics andlegal issues associated withthe weapon systems thatthey develop.

“A gun is a gun, and thatis about all we had to knowfrom that perspective,” saidCanning. “The advent ofthe concept of autonomousweapon systems throws thedoor open wide for thesesorts of in-depth consider-ations, and the accompany-ing policies for their designand use.”

Canning, Buchanan,Wallace and Cowen en-gaged in profound andthorough discussions andconsiderations with theircolleagues from DoD or-ganizations such as ONR,Naval Air Systems Com-mand, NAVSEA, NavalResearch Lab, U.S. CoastGuard, Army Research Lab,Naval Air Warfare CenterTraining Systems Divi-sion Orlando, three JointChief of Staff Directorates,Joint Interoperability Test

Command, NUWC, NSWCCarderock, NSWC IndianHead Explosive OrdnanceDisposal Technology Di-vision and subject matterexperts from a myriad ofprivate companies in ad-dition to academic institu-tions that include VirginiaPolytechnic Institute andState University, Pennsyl-vania State University Ap-plied Research Laboratory,Morgan State University,Old Dominion University,George Mason University,University of Maryland andJohns Hopkins UniversityApplied Physics Laboratory.

“The exchange of ideasbetween the broad array ofparticipants allows us to seeother possible approachesto our own problems thatwe might not have thoughtof in isolation by ourselves,”said Canning. “Events suchas this allow us to envisiona path forward with newideas, and to begin to focusour personal efforts in thatdirection.”
