May is OPSEC Awareness Month, and it's a critical time for each of us to sharpen our focus on operations security. Because whether you're on the flight line, in the lab, behind a desk, OPSEC is about protecting our mission, our people, and ultimately, the warfighters. Joining today is Richie Grau, NAVAIR Security Department Head, and Matt Crombie, NAWCAD Security Operations Division Head, and they are here to help us identify potential vulnerabilities, highlight OPSEC best practices, and explain why strong OPSEC is essential to NAVAIR's ability to deliver readiness and lethality across the fleet.

Experts speculate the first shot of the next war will not be kinetic. It will start in cyberspace. Cyber survivability is a capability and we must deliver it faster. From safeguarding mission critical systems to ensuring operational readiness, every member of the NAVAIR team has a role in expanding the capability the fleet needs. If we intend to fight and win in distributed maritime operations, we must own and actively protect our supply chain networks and kill chains

Avian supports NAVAIR programs in the Pax River area of Southern Maryland, among other opportunities. Learn about Coffee with Kevin, Jump Balls, and the importance of transparency with your recruiter. “We always want to help people find the right roles. I always suggest that when people are engaging with their recruiter or their talent acquisition specialists, they want to be honest and transparent about their needs and requirements. It may feel really tempting to say, 'Oh yeah, of course I'd be willing to do that' and throw that wide net out there and see what comes in. But ultimately, you want to make sure that your recruiter knows exactly, 'These are my lines in the sand. I will not accept these types of positions.' I'm a firm believer in not showing the bride a dress outside of her budget.” Find show notes and additional links at: https://clearedjobs.net/avian-developing-and-caring-for-employees-podcast/

AIRWaves Episode #57: In this episode of our AIRWaves podcast, we discuss the NAVAIR Leadership Development Program and the Journey Leadership Development Program, and how they can help you grow in your career at NAVAIR.

AIRWaves Episode #55: In this episode of the AIRWaves podcast, Sue Deguzman, acting director of the Engineering and Cyber Warfare Group and Kristin Swift, acting director of the Air Worthiness and Cyber Safe Office, share how the Mission Aligned Organization has streamlined NAVAIR's airworthiness process and laid the framework for improved technical solutions to ensure aircraft are safe for flight.

Ali Ahmadi, Navy Vet, is a good friend of our host, Josh Carter. A Queens, New York native was celebrating his Mom's 50th birthday on September 9th, 2001 in the Top of the World restaurant on top of Tower Two. Of course, two days later was the attack and two days after that, Ali and his father joined the volunteer rescue teams to hunt for survivors. Two months later, Ali walked into the Navy recruiter's office and signed up. His first memories from boot camp were the youth of all the other recruits, the diverse geographical backgrounds and above all else – the smell! He served with some great people and scored highest in his class, giving him 42 choices of assignments. He ended up in Maryland flying autonomous drones. It put him close to home, where he could visit his mother who had been recently diagnosed with a serious condition. He received his aerospace engineering degree while in the Navy and was offered an internship with NavAir in Orlando where he could stay close to his girlfriend. That move must have worked, because the former girlfriend is now the current spouse! Feeling he had hit a ceiling in his corporate growth, he was intrigued with entrepreneurship but had to get past the security of the corporate paycheck. Once past that, Ali flourished, becoming the president of the Entrepreneur's Club at Washington University. He mentored and did some angel investing, including investing in a company that created a fitbit for dogs. After the acquisition of that company, he and a partner started another company and subsequently entered Patriot Bootcamp where our own Josh Carter became a mentor. Ali and his wife were caring or her mother in stage four cancer at their home. The stress was great and fellow boot camp attendee told Ali of research that was going on to develop IP to help caregivers cope with the stress of their job. That IP became the platform for TCare, a system to help family members care for their loved ones. TCare's software helps the family member avoid burnout and helps keep the infirmed out of nursing homes. So they help prevent or delay the elderly going into nursing homes and help keep the family together. Ali Ahmadi's current mission has certainly become his biggest. And for those trying to break the corporate leash, Ali asks you to consider that the cost of NOT seeking to do something greater with your life is much greater than that paycheck.

A new ScanEagle from Insitu, an Ohio UAS test site is up and running, students learning about UAVs in a precision agriculture program, ABC creating drone journalism policies, and a drone on an urban rescue mission. News Insitu Launches New ScanEagle 2 UAS The new Insitu ScanEagle 2 features a slightly longer fuselage, the same wingspan, and a new engine from Orbital. Endurance of this fixed-wing system grows to 24 hours from 16. US Navy seeks information on sense and avoid radar for Triton UAS The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has been unable to develop sense and avoid radar for the Triton. They've issued an RFI (Request for Information) and NAVAIR wants a scaleable SAA box that is modular and deployable to other platforms. The Triton is a naval version of the RQ-4A Global Hawk, with a different wing to handle higher stresses. WSRI conducts its first test of UAS aircraft Wright State Research Institute (WSRI) conducted its first UAS research flight at Wilmington Air Park using a senseFly eBee 3D Aerial Solutions piloted the eBee used to conduct modeling and simulation research, to gather terrain data for 3D flight simulation environments. The flight operated under a recently awarded certificate of authorization (COA) from the FAA. Sinclair sees UAS payoff in future jobs Sinclair Community College in Ohio sees a coming boom in unmanned aviation opportunities, and they're investing millions to help train a UAS workforce. They've spent over $5 million on curriculum, flight simulators, and more than 50 UAVs. The college will use its field house to serve as the largest indoor unmanned aerial vehicle flying range in Ohio. Sinclair plans to open a National UAS Training and Certification Center using $5 million of their money and $4 million from State funds. Sinclair has partnered with Ohio State University and additionally, has established partnerships with Wright State University, the University of Dayton, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and other educational institutions. LRSC students study ag potential of UAS Lake Region State College's Precision Agriculture Center in North Dakota wants its graduates to have UAV skills. The program offers both theoretical and practical core courses and hands-on training. The average North Dakota farmer spends about $1.3 million per year planting and harvesting crops. UAS and satellite mapping can cut those costs 6-16%. Changes to aviation laws will give media more freedom to use drones for newsgathering ABC in Australia has a project to develop and regulate their use of drones for journalism. Proposed changes to Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) rules would allow “low risk” operations, making it easier for the media to use sUAS for newsgathering. ABC has developed a 3-day training course for camera operators that covers air safety rules, privacy policies, and flight training using Phantom 2 RPAs. ABC policy will prohibit using small drones over bushfires because of the high winds, low visibility, and possible presence of water bombing aircraft. Drone used to rescue window cleaner dangling from tower block A window washer in Abu Dhabi had a tense situation when his scaffold failed. The man was clinging to one of the windows ten stories up in the air. Police brought in a drone equipped with video and a speaker, calmed the man down, and instructed him on how to affect a repair and lower himself down. Simpler rules for small unmanned air vehicles Transport Canada announced at the Unmanned Systems Canada conference in Montréal, two exemptions that simplify small unmanned air vehicle (UAV) operations and safely integrate UAVs into Canadian airspace. Under the new exemptions, a Special Flight Operations Certificate will not be required for UAVs under 2 kilograms and certain operations involving UAVs under 25 kilograms. The new approach will apply to commercial operations and contribute to a strong sa...
