🌊 Following on with our Navy Leaders theme this week, here's a great project where Stuart Walker used RDI Technologies Inc. Motion Amplification® technology alongside the Royal Navy team aboard the XV Patrick Blackett: 📊 "We got some great MA data from the four Caterpillar Inc. C32 Ascert engines pushing out 6500kW at full power. Challenging sea conditions at times but great opportunity to test how the kit performs under significant motion from the ship. Worked a treat as we could filter to individual engine/shaft frequencies to remove any low frequency motion." 🚢 The XV Patrick Blackett is a beacon of naval innovation and technological advancement. This experimental trials vessel, managed by NavyX, showcases a shift towards autonomous naval technology with its state-of-the-art infrastructure and robust communication capabilities. 🛰️ The vessel's design emphasises versatility and adaptability, ensuring operational flexibility for various experimental needs. With its advanced maneuverability and control, the XV Patrick Blackett serves as a valuable platform for learning and exploration in modern naval practices, particularly in autonomous systems. 🔗 To read the full article about the XV Patrick Blackett, visit the Navy Lookout Article, here: https://lnkd.in/dCn6uCaW 🔍 To learn more about Motion Amplification®, visit: https://lnkd.in/dzQWKbH, email the MA team at: [email protected], or visit Stand A11 for a live demo from Stuart and RDI's, Timothy English. #RoyalNavy #Innovation #NavalTechnology #CNE2024 #CNE24 #NavyLeaders #XVPatrickBlackett #MotionAmplification #TestandMeasurement #ConditionMonitoring

"In this Office of Naval Research supported work, we try to understand the unsteadiness and three-dimensionality of shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions over axisymmetric bodies. Such interactions exist in high-speed air vehicles, where curved surfaces are often encountered. Three-dimensionality and unsteadiness induced by such interactions are relatively more complex than well-studied two-dimensional interactions. Understanding these fundamental flow physics can help us improve the design and control of supersonic air vehicles." #marine #cfd #fluiddynamics #engineering #science #turbulence #aerospace

NPS Applied Physics student U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Karl Flynn offers a potential glimpse into the future of a USMC infantryman in this fictional short story recently published via CIMSEC for their Fiction Week theme.   “The main idea I wanted to explore is how power armor would realistically work,” says Flynn. “Many works of fiction use power armor, but most weren't written by infantrymen, so I wanted to take the angle of what characteristics would make practical sense if power armor really were fielded in the infantry.”   Flynn incorporated several #futuristic #capabilities and #innovative #technologies in the piece about what he calls a Marine heavy infantry platoon as it enters combat for the first time. He says much of the scientific concepts and capabilities that he pulls into the narrative are informed by his studies at NPS, and are ideas he says could not be easily explored in a non-fiction piece.   “A lot of what I wrote about was informed by what I've learned during my time at NPS, mostly from the applied physics department,” he explains. “The ideas behind the electrical power system and artificial muscles, specifically, were all based on material covered in different classes throughout my curriculum so far. And the HUD and user interface was informed by what I've learned from fellow Marines who are in the MOVES department.”   Check out Flynn’s short story below, and learn more about Applied Physics at NPS at https://lnkd.in/gP-5r9a.

#TechTuesday Low Frequency Broadband Sonar In 2011, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)-based broadband active sonar system for the high-performance detection and identification of underwater mines was transitioned to production. The “squint capable” synthetic aperture sonar measures scattering cross-sections very precisely for identification based on structural acoustic features. The sonar is configured on a long-endurance, quiet AUV that navigates using a fusion of Doppler velocity measurement, fiberoptic gyroscope inertial navigation, and GPS. Deployment is anticipated on the Littoral Combat Ship and other platforms of opportunity. NRL is extending the technology to longer ranges and exploring the applicability to antisubmarine warfare.

#TechTuesday Robot: Coyote Hors D 'Oeuvres, Anyone? 🤖 In 1997 the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's robot Coyote placed first in technical achievement at the 1997 AAAI Mobile Robot Competition. In developing a robot to serve hors d'oeuvres at the conference reception, the research investigated several issues important to autonomous systems: navigating in a crowded space, being assertive without being intimidating or dangerous, human-robot interaction in noisy environments, and tracking of resources.

🕰️ How a Missed Opportunity Became a Revolutionary Breakthrough—And What It Means for Your Next Chapter 🕰️ In 1922, a team of American naval engineers stumbled upon the idea of radar—technology that would eventually revolutionize warfare and navigation. But at the time, the U.S. Navy dismissed it as unimportant. Why? Fear of change, underestimating potential, and a preference for the status quo. This story isn’t just about radar—it’s a powerful metaphor for those of us in our third act of life, especially Gen X and Boomers. Many of us might feel stuck, unsure of what’s next, or hesitant to explore new possibilities. But here’s the takeaway: 🌟 Resistance to Change: Like the Navy, we often resist stepping out of our comfort zones. What if we embraced the unknown? 🌟 Underestimating Potential: We have decades of experience and skills. Don’t overlook how these can be repurposed in exciting, fulfilling ways. 🌟 Overcoming Personal Inertia: Just as the Navy needed time to see radar’s value, we might need time—and a nudge—to recognize our potential. 🌟 Taking Risks: The Navy eventually realized that radar was a game-changer. Taking calculated risks in our third act can lead to breakthroughs we never imagined. The third act is not about winding down; it’s about reimagining what’s possible. Don’t let the fear of change or the comfort of familiarity keep you from exploring new horizons. Your next big discovery might be just around the corner. Are you ready to embrace it? #ThirdAct #GenX #Boomers #NeverTooLate Source: http://bit.ly/3ZaUD6r
