“QR codes have made reporting maintenance issues at unaccompanied housing faster and more convenient, which has led to an increase in reporting overall,” said Carol. “We strive for continuous improvement and always look to share the best practices and innovations that improve processes to Sailors’ benefit.” All 10 Navy regions have introduced maintenance QR code reporting to unaccompanied housing facilities.

Mike Day, a decorated Navy SEAL shot 27 times during a firefight in Iraq in 2007, passed away on March 27.

He later went on to work for seven years as a I just did what I was trained to do.” The grenade fell to the ground and detonated, wounding Day with the shrapnel. As a second man pulled the pin on a grenade and began running towards the hallway, Day killed him as well. With two Iraqi scouts behind him, Day breached the door of a room and was immediately struck with multiple bullets, knocking his rifle out of his hands. Day served 21 years in the Navy and later worked as an author and an advocate for wounded military veterans.

Zoom in and you’ll find shapeshifting pieces which match each other even miles apart, and a precarious system that falls out of its quantum state and into a classical one at the wrong temperature. “We have many dedicated and motivated scientists and engineers expanding our quantum portfolio,” Ptasinski said when asked why NIWC Pacific is the right team for the job. Ptasinski continues to organize training opportunities for scientists at the Center and across the country. A classical computer would have to calculate the path of a bit expressing 0 separately from the path of a bit expressing 1; a quantum computer can explore both at once, allowing for faster, more intensive calculations. Drop a particle in at the top and use a traditional computer to figure out in which slot it will end up at the bottom, and you’re looking at a major computational task. Measuring the path of a qubit through steps in a quantum system is fundamental for quantum research; it teaches us how quantum systems work. Co-leads Naval Research Laboratory and NIWC Pacific established the Naval Quantum Computing Program Office Dec. All answers point to a vision of a Navy equipped with even more secure communications networks, more advanced sensors, and the faster threat detection and response that comes with them. When we observe it, we force a “quantum choice,” and the particle collapses from its state of superposition into one of its possible forms. This is what NIWC Pacific scientists explore in its labs, with its partners, and on the National Science & Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science. Answers fall in a few categories: sensing, computing, communications, and materials, and the Center has projects to show for each. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, superposition, and entanglement are all part of a growing mathematical framework for subatomic phenomena called quantum mechanics, and it raises questions about the nature of reality as we know it.

We have anti-ship missiles and hypersonic missiles, but not yet a weapon with both capabilities. That changes now.

In contrast to LRASM, the Navy wants HALO to be designed for extreme speed. He holds a Master’s degree from Georgetown University and served with the Peace Corps in China. The LRASM, which is technically “Increment 1” of the OASuW program, should be difficult to detect at a distance thanks to its stealth geometry and self-defense systems. Because fielding the HALO missile isn’t expected until 2028-2030, the document says an interim upgrade of the LRASM to the LRASM 1.1 standard will take place before then. It’s currently deployed on Navy Super Hornet jet and (soon) P-8 Poseidon patrol planes, as well as Air Force B-1Bs and even from a palletized launcher designed for release from C-130 and C-17 cargo planes. The first is a missile that releases hypersonic gliders that skip just on top of the Earth’s atmosphere. Navy has anti-ship missiles and will soon have hypersonic missiles—but not yet a weapon with both capabilities. Additionally, it also deploys shorter-range Harpoon and [Naval Strike Missiles](https://www.19fortyfive.com/2021/12/naval-strike-missile-is-it-really-a-threat-to-china-or-russia/).

However, they usually require separate boosters to accelerate them to high speeds in the first place. Navy to separately develop prototype ship-sinking hypersonic missiles designed to sink ships hundreds of miles away for a program known as HALO (Hypersonic Air-launched Offensive). It’s expected to fly farther and much faster than the current LRASM stealth cruise missile.

The US Navy has contracted Raytheon Missiles and Defense and Lockheed Martin to develop a hypersonic anti-ship missile.

Initial operational capability for HALO is planned to field late this decade. The contract period of performance for each award will end in December 2024 with each company’s preliminary design review working towards a prototype flight test. HALO’s predecessor, the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM), is currently fielded on the Navy’s F/A-18 and Air Force B-1B.

HALO is the follow-on program to the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, produced by Lockheed and used on both Navy and Air Force warplanes.

HALO is one of a handful of new hypersonic weapons the Pentagon is developing and fielding. “As threat capability continues to advance, additional range, warfare capability and capacity is required to address the more demanding threat environment,” said Capt. The Army is fielding its own land-based variant of Conventional Prompt Strike derived from the same core technologies.

In its press release regarding the HALO contracts, NAVAIR said that AGM-158C-3 will help "bridge the gap until HALO is operational." A hypersonic cruise missile adds extreme speed to that equation, making it even harder for opponents to defend themselves or otherwise complicate the weapon's terminal targeting. It further explains that "TR#2 is a technical assessment ensuring the physically allocated baseline will be operationally effective."

“To celebrate heroes who not only played baseball, but also fought for our nation’s freedom is an honor, and I am proud that the future USS Cooperstown will represent not only the 70 Hall of Fame alumni, but the hundreds of sailors who traded flannels for uniforms during times of war,” said Secretary Del Toro. The “Golden Ticket,” as it was known, became a way for POWs to reconnect with their families and rediscover their freedom by enjoying America’s national pastime. While Cooperstown will be the first naval ship to bear the name, it will not be the first ship inspired by baseball. The LCS is capable of supporting forward presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence. Their gallant efforts serving our Nation paired with their baseball careers, a sport known as ‘America’s Pastime’ is something I am proud to see displayed across the stern of one of our ships.” The future USS Cooperstown — named after the historic Otsego County village — will join the Navy’s active fleet on Saturday, May 6, with a commissioning ceremony in New York City.

One NPS Space Systems Engineering student, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Tim Musmanno, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2011 with a degree in aerospace engineering.

“Most of us will only be able to look up at the heavens, but NPS is fortunate to have the leadership and scholarship of Dr. The Navy has already taken two preliminary steps towards making these investments with the creation of the Maritime Space Officer (MSO) community in 2021 and the establishment of Commander, Navy Space Command (NAVSPACECOM), in January 2023. In fact, two more NPS CubeSats, named Mola and Otter, will launch in the summer of 2023 and the winter of 2024. superiority in space is frequently challenged; competitors advance the means to disrupt or deny our ability to leverage the constellation of sensors and connectors that serve as the backbone of a networked and distributed maritime force. Expansion of the ground capability with our industry and international partners is a significant part of this research effort.” As a result, the Navy must be prepared to innovate, be creative and agile, and truly compete in today’s highly-contested space domain. Over the years, SSAG has added distance learning and graduate certificate options based on its two core curricula and a doctorate in its space systems engineering track, and is exploring a second Ph.D. “I stumbled into the SSAG small satellite lab one day and saw that the development of CubeSats and the new technologies that you can apply to their payloads was something they’re really interested in,” Pierce said of his Masters research into high-powered rockets for CubeSats. That truth, Newman explained, is that the reality of today’s space domain is more complex. we need naval and other officers who are technically capable of understanding and knowing what is in the realm of the possible. Navy established itself as a global leader in the utilization of the space domain. SSAG also gave those students the technical depth to understand the design and engineering of satellites and other space-based systems.
