Guns of all sizes, someday steel-cutting lasers and hypersonic launchers. None of it get mounted on a Navy ship until it's been tested and vetted by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division. Recently I traveled to King George County, Virginia, home of the Dahlgren Division, to see what's going on to keep the Navy effective and lethal. In this first of a series of interviews we'll be airing this week, the Federal Drive spoke with the division's commander, Captain Casey Plew.

Special Interview Series - THP05: Bill Smith / Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen - Today's interview is going to be unique. The company we're going to discuss is Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen, which has many years of combined military and space fuel cell experience, designing the next generation of air independent fuel cells, and regenerative fuel cells. With the support of NASA and several other government agencies, they have achieved key breakthroughs in fuel cell design, that have significantly reduced the complexity of these systems and dramatically improved performance and reliability. I think Infinity is an absolutely fascinating company. And there's so much to unpack here that I might have to beg Bill to come back and talk more on the show. Bill's the founder and president of Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen. He started the company in 2002, focusing on the application of PEM technology to fuel cell and hydrogen systems. He is the program manager and principal investigator for most of the major infinity programs, including programs with the FAA and the NASA Glenn Research Center, DOD fuel cell projects for the Naval Air Warfare Center in China Lake, the naval undersea warfare center, the Defense Logistics Agency, and for the General Atomics LDUUV program with the Office of Naval Research, and that just scratches the surface of what they're doing right now. Bill holds a degree in physics and got his MBA at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy the podcast.

Brett Vaughan is the U.S. Navy Chief Artificial Intelligence (AI) Officer and AI Portfolio Manager at the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Mr. Vaughan has 30 years of Defense Intelligence and Technology expertise with strengths in military support, strategic communications, geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), Naval Intelligence and Navy R&D. He spent two decades in various roles at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), an additional 10 years in intelligence roles in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, and was recently appointed to his current role in 2019. Mr. Vaughan has Master's Degrees in Environmental Science from Johns Hopkins University, and in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Geography and Cartography, from University of Mary Washington. The U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) is an organization within the United States Department of the Navy responsible for the science and technology programs of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Established by Congress in 1946, its mission is to plan, foster, and encourage scientific research to maintain future naval power and preserve national security. The Office of Naval Research carries out its mission through funding and collaboration with universities, other government laboratories, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and also oversees the Naval Research Laboratory, the corporate research laboratory for the Navy and Marine Corps, which conducts a broad program of scientific research, technology and advanced development, and has a prestigious history, including the development of the first U.S. radar system, synthetic lubricants, and surveillance satellites. 

Hearing loss is the most common disability from military service. Treating it costs billions of dollars a year. The Office of Naval Research has tried to prevent this epidemic, especially for sailors and Marines on board aircraft carriers. Kurt Yankaskas, program officer for the ONR's Noise Induced Hearing Loss Research Program, designed custom earplugs. They've made a big difference. Yankaskas is a finalist in this year's Service to America Medals program. He spoke with Federal News Network's Amelia Brust.

What's the tough thing about underwater demolition and other operations is the water? It's cold. Even with wet suits, military divers can only stay underwater so long. Now a team working for the Office of Naval Research has found a way to give neoprene wetsuits insulating power nearly equal to the fat on a seal. Michael Strano and Jacopo Buongiorno, MIT engineering professors, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin on Federal News Radio to talk about these suits.

Because of its mission and an ever-changing threat scene, the armed services have long been innovators. For the Navy, much of the innovation has come from the Office of Naval Research. Now the ONR is starting to use so-called lean innovation process. Steve Blank, adjunct professor at Stanford University and adviser to several national security agencies, shares the details on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Now the ONR is starting to use so-called lean innovation process. Steve Blank, adjunct processor at Stanford University and advisor to several national security agencies explained the process on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has been one of the largest supporters of innovation in the U.S. Now they are starting to use the Lean Innovation process (see here and here) to turn ideas into solutions. The result will be defense innovation with speed and urgency.

Watch a NOAA video podcast on the AUVfest 2008 expedition that will take place in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay from May 12 through May 23. The event is a demonstration of 13 AUV systems originally developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for mine hunting. As part of a collaborative effort to examine and evaluate the dual use of this technology, eight of these AUVs, and their associated sensors and systems, will also be sent on archaeological missions to shipwreck sites in Narragansett Bay.
