U.S. Naval Research Laboratory researchers Drs. Alexander Englesbe, Joshua Issacs, Richard Fischer, Daniel Gordon, Yu-shin Chen, Michael Helle, Mr. Justin Rieman and NSF Post-Doctoral Fellow Dr. Jessica Pena present their work on intense pulsed laser development, atmospheric propagation, material interaction and plasma effects at the Annual Directed Energy Symposium. Their work goes beyond just theory. By understanding how pulsed lasers interact with targets, they're laying the groundwork for the Navy's current Directed Energy Mission and shaping the future of our fleet.

I am excited to participate in the Warfare Innovation Continuum Workshop hosted by the Naval Warfare Studies Institute at Naval Postgraduate School. This unique platform at Naval Postgraduate School brings together the Fleet, Naval Research and Development Establishment, academia, and industry partners to envision the future and start the 18 month process which moves from novel ideas to the development and adoption of prototypes, practices, and processes. We are exploring the concept of “Non-Permissive Global Sea Control.” I am facilitating Team Integration, where we will explore how we might achieve global sea control through naval, joint, and allied integration. We are #strongertogether. —What is “global sea control”? —How do we understand “non-permissive”? —What would integration look like if we are successful? —How might we leverage advanced and emerging technologies to drive integration?

What Might Have Been: An inflight view of a conceptual operational “tailless" U.S. Navy/Rockwell International F-31A (X-31A). During the X-31A EFM flight test program, Rockwell/Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) proposed a tailless modification to further explore advanced flight controls and enhanced maneuverability. The proposal was not funded. However, it is interesting to see what an agile “tailless” U. S. Navy F-31A might have looked like. History: During the late 1980s two X-31A EFM demonstrators were built by Rockwell International and MBB. The first international X-Plane was designed to test high-alpha flight regimes and extreme maneuverability. It was first flown on October 11, 1990 at USAF Plant 42 Palmdale, CA and flight tested at NASA/Dryden FRC Edwards AFB. From 2002-2003, the follow-on U.S. Navy X-31A VECTOR program took place at NAS Patuxant River, MD. Erik Simonsen Photo Illustration —

On April 19, 2023, Maj. James W. Pollard of the U.S. Marine Corps, flying for Marine Attack Squadron 231 (VMA-231), piloted an AV-8B Harrier II jet in the vicinity of Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, Louisiana.

#TechTuesday Vanguard Solar Power System In 1958 the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's Vanguard 1 proved that solar cells could be used for several years to power satellite radio transmitters. Vanguard’s solar cells operated for about 7 years, while conventional batteries powering another onboard transmitter lasted only 20 days.

Saalex Corporation, a leader in engineering, IT, and technical services for the aerospace, defense, and federal sectors, today announced it will move its corporate headquarters from Camarillo, California, to Washington, D.C. The new office will be located in the National Association of Broadcasters building at 1 M Street, SE, in the Navy Yard neighborhood, a vibrant district known for its proximity to federal agencies and innovative industries. The move aligns with Saalex’s long-term strategic objectives to expand its presence in the nation’s capital, enhancing the company’s ability to engage directly with key federal clients and industry partners. Washington, D.C.’s central location will enable Saalex to more effectively collaborate with federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and NASA, while also gaining closer access to policymakers and industry leaders.

Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks has voiced concerns about China and Russia's increasing deployment of capabilities to target GPS and other crucial space-based systems. Speaking at the change of command ceremony for U.S. Space Command, Hicks highlighted the importance of maintaining military superiority in space. She emphasized the U.S.'s commitment to deterring aggression and outpacing China's space launches and payloads through the launch of a growing constellation of smaller, more resilient, and lower-cost satellites. Hicks noted that while China's space activities have seen significant growth, the U.S. has more than quadrupled its space launches per year during the same period, with payloads launched increasing nearly 13 times. In 2023, the U.S. launched over 2,500 payloads compared to China's 240. Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Christopher W. Grady echoed the importance of space in national defense, emphasizing its role as the most essential warfighting domain. Both Hicks and Grady commended Army Gen. James H. Dickinson's leadership and achievements, expressing confidence in Space Force Gen. Stephen N. Whiting's ability to build on his predecessor's accomplishments. Hicks and Grady also acknowledged the support from allies, partners, industry, academia, and the generals' wives in advancing U.S. space capabilities. Whiting pledged to continue strengthening these relationships as he assumes command of U.S. Space Command. https://lnkd.in/gM99jsxs #SpaceSecurity #MilitarySpaceAdvantage #USChinaSpaceRace #SpaceDeterrence #SpaceCommand #SpaceInnovation #ResilientSatellites #CommercialSpaceIndustry #SpaceConflictPrevention #USMilitaryLeadership #SpaceSuperiority #GlobalSpaceStability #SpacePartnerships #SpaceCapabilities #NationalSecurity #SpaceDominance #USAllies #SpaceLaunches #PayloadsInOrbit #SpaceLeadership #SpaceExcellence

This is Space Force Junior ROTC Celebrating Significant Days in Space STE*M: Moon Day Today, July 20th, marks the anniversary of the first walk on the lunar surface. It is sometimes referred to as "Moon Day." Important events like this are part of the STE*M education that is a critical component of the curriculum of the Space Force JROTC enterprise. Familiarity with #Science, #Technology, #Engineering, and #Mathematics are important for the #space-vision which future #citizens of #character need. That is our mission. The asterisk (*) is where we "embed" the critical #GuardianSpirit into our "STEM" program. The Guardian Spirit is sometimes represented by the "delta-wing" variable symbol. Our #CadetGuardians learn STEM along with the important values which guide "How to do STEM" for the future. The ten high school units in the current program are managed by Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFJROTC) with the support of Space Training and Readiness Command, Space Delta 13, Detachment 2. #MoonDay #HowToDoSTEM #GuardianValues
