    Technically Speaking Podcast - Episode 35 - How Drones and Robot Dogs Help with Military Operations and Natural Disasters

    How Drones and Robot Dogs Help with Military Operations and Natural Disasters (Ep. 35) In this episode of “Technically Speaking” hosts Chelsie and Alex chat about their love for blended strategies and newer “gameplay” in the show Survivor. They compare this to work NIWC Atlantic is accomplishing around technology for unmanned systems such as aerial drones and robot dogs. Chelsie and Alex speak with two members of the NIWC Atlantic Coordinated Hardware Agnostic Operating System (CHAOS) team who create and enhance the technology in these unmanned systems. Gwen Steel, NIWC Atlantic CHAOS Project Lead, and Donovan Lam, NIWC Atlantic CHAOS Hardware Lead, explain the diverse uses of their technology for anything from military reconnaissance to civilian search and rescue after natural disasters. CHAOS also achieves impressive communication capabilities across systems and aid in real-time problem solving for the warfighter. These two experts then share the degrees and skills individuals need if they want to pursue a career that involves innovation around unmanned technology. Next Alex speaks with IT1 Caleb Donaldson for this episode’s military moment. IT1 Donaldson explains why he enlisted into the Navy and how his work with NIWC Atlantic allows him to bring the warfighter perspective to the technology being created here. The episode closes on the hosts summarizing the uniqueness NIWC Atlantic in that it is able to blend warfighter and civilian expertise together to create outstanding information warfare solutions for the United States Navy.

    Technically Speaking Podcast - Episode 34 - Unmanned Autonomous Record-Breaking Ocean Crossing

    Unmanned Autonomous Record-Breaking Ocean Crossing (Ep. 34) This episode of “Technically Speaking” highlights the record-breaking achievement of Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic’s work with unmanned surface vessels (USV). Engineers within NIWC Atlantic’s Unmanned Naval Innovation Team (UNIT) completed the fastest known transatlantic crossing of a USV! First, listeners will hear from hosts Chelsie Holloway and Alex Jackson as they recant their holiday festivities which included a trip to New York City and celebration with family in Georgia. Next, Chelsie and Alex sit down with Mike Grass, NIWC Atlantic lead scientist and program manager for UNIT, to hear all about the preparation and challenges that came UNIT’s way during the crossing. UNIT faced tropical storm weather, fuel shortages, and damaged cables during the 62 day crossing, and handled every challenge with tenacity and innovative problem solving. All resulting in key breakthroughs such as proving truly long‑endurance autonomous operations over an oceanic distance and validating global command and control handoffs. Grass explains how this accomplishment is vital to the future of Naval warfare. The push for more capabilities with autonomous and unmanned vessels will allow the Navy to take risk on machines instead of sailors in contested environments. It also helps the Fleet cover more water with fewer people, enabling a more persistent presence, faster sensing-to-shooting timelines, and new concepts of operations at a lower cost to the government. Lastly, Alex chats with GySgt. Marco Jaramilloarias for this episode’s Military moment segment. He explains how he supports Marine Corps aviation in Hampton Roads, VA and the value of brotherhood within the armed services. The hosts wrap up with reflecting on how teamwork has resulted in success and innovation within the NIWC Atlantic workforce.

    Technically Speaking Podcast - Sending Messages on Laser Beams: Free Space Optical Communications & the Future of Fleet Connectivity (Ep. 30) In this episode of Technically Speaking, hosts Chelsie Holloway and Alex Jackson take you inside NIWC Atlantic’s groundbreaking work on Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC)—a game-changing technology that uses laser beams to transmit secure data through the atmosphere. Dr. John Wells, Science and Technology Supervisor, joins us to explain why traditional radio frequency (RF) communications can leave warfighters vulnerable and how FSOC reduces the risk of detection by adversaries. Dr. Wells breaks down how laser-based communications offer high-bandwidth, low-probability-of-intercept transmissions for missions ranging from ship-to-ship to ground-to-space. He also discusses how NIWC Atlantic is leveraging quantum technology to enhance cybersecurity and ensure the integrity of sensitive data. What sets our team apart is our direct connection to the warfighter—developing and refining solutions hand-in-hand with those who rely on them in the field. Later in the episode, we sit down with Master Chief Robert Mendoza for a special Military Moment. He reflects on his 30-year Navy career, his transition from aviation to information warfare, and his recent deployment to Bahrain. Master Chief Mendoza shares powerful advice for those considering military service, emphasizes the importance of mentorship, and reflects on the pride and purpose he found throughout his decades of service. Whether you're curious about optical physics or inspired by leadership, this episode showcases the people and technologies driving the Navy’s mission forward.
