NDIA Undersea Warfare Division (UWD)
Proposed Top Issues for 2014
Tom Dion
Greg Vaughn
Tom Jones
Proposed Top Issues for 2014
1. Partner with industry in identifying areas for Internal Research and
Development (IRAD) Investment
• Issue: IR&D funds available to supplement limited government funded R&D
• Concerns:
o Government partnering with industry will facilitate industry in making informed
decisions on investing
o Insufficient industry insight into Government near and long term priorities
o Will need to assess competition implications
o Will need to address IP issues
2. Expand industry involvement in the development of Concepts of
Operations (CONOPS)
• Issue: Government identification and development of Warfighter requirements and the
CONOPS to support without full knowledge of what technologies and capabilities exist
• Concerns:
o Industry typically has a more complete view than Government of alternatives and
opportunities to achieve mission success enabled by current and near term
technologies and capabilities
o Industry has the unique advantage of being able to identify those current and
emerging near term technologies that can help shape CONOPS and readily
provide an 80% solution to Warfighter requirements at low cost and low risk
o NDIA can be a major facilitator in this role
Proposed Top Issues for 2014 (Cont)
3. Clarify and improve alignment of Roles and Responsibilities between
industry and Government laboratories
• Issue: Industry and Government laboratories too often find themselves inappropriately
competing for limited resources
• Concerns:
o Better alignment should promote allowing the Government laboratories and
industry to minimize competition and promote synergy
o Alignment of Roles and Responsibilities should focus on improving efficiencies in
the acquisition process by allowing the Government laboratories and industry to do
what each does best
4. Develop/identify a basic model to facilitate industry/Government
interactions
• Issue: Need to identify means to facilitate industry/Government interactions to
enhance synergy and exchange of information to improve efficiencies
• Concerns:
o Government and industry interactions have become increasingly more limited
during the pre-RFP phase of programs
o Limiting information exchange negatively impacts the identification of opportunities
for improved products, processes and solutions

2014 Spring Conference Questions
(Catalyst for Discussion)
• Will the Spring Conference survive or is this strictly
a timing issue with the current budget battle and
funding ambiguities?
– We should try to keep alive – but need to be sensitive to funding
and political realities.
– Timing of push can be very critical to its success
• Carry over same theme in 2014 – or update?
– Recommend we evaluate as we get closer
• Cost cutting measures to lower cost of 2014
conference?
– Social events also held at the ADM Kidd Club
– Use hotels/motels adjacent to ASW base and BOQ (CBQ?)
– Others?

NDIA UWD Academic Fellowship
Committee Report
A little history courtesy of Jerry Bradshaw:
ADPA Doctoral Fellowship Program
Description:
In 1990, the Undersea Warfare Systems Division established the “ADPA Undersea Warfare
Fellowship Program” to select and fully fund the tuition of three PhD candidates at universities
closely associated with the Navy’s undersea warfare community, starting with the 1990 Fall
Semester.
Objective:
To attract outstanding young people to careers in science and engineering with specialization in
fields particularly pertinent to undersea warfare.
Participating Universities:
Pennsylvania State University (PSU), University Park, PA
University of Washington (UW), Seattle, WA
University of Texas at Austin (UT), Austin, TX
As taken from the 1995 ADPA UWD annual publication
The fund was kept intact and transferred during the merger of ADPA and NDIA

Use of conference fees to fund the award was stopped
after 2010. With the current outlay of $6000 to three
students ($18K per year) the fund is not sustainable.
At the 2012 Spring Meeting it was requested to propose
alternative uses of the fund so the program can be selfsustaining.
Academic Year 2012-2013 Awards
For this academic year the program was continued as is and $6000 was
awarded to each of 3 PhD candidates. An article was written for the Spring
Newsletter highlighting the awardees.
•
Todd Goodall
Electrical and Computer Engineering
University of Texas, Austin
Interest in data mining and machine learning for classification
•
Andy Pickering
Physical Oceanography
University of Washington, Seattle
Focus on internal waves generated by tidal flow over undersea topography
•
Andrew Pyzdek
Acoustical Engineering
Penn State University, State College
Focus on fluctuation based processing for improved detection/discrimination
NDIA Academic Speaker Award
•
Select students from the Navy UARCs to make a presentation at the Fall and Spring
Conferences.
• Fall – Penn State or Johns Hopkins
• Spring – University of Texas or University of Washington
•
Work with faculty at selected universities to select a cleared student whose research is
relevant to one of the technical sessions. To support a presentation the student most likely will
be closer to graduation and thus job exploring.
•
Let the student present his/her thesis research during the appropriate technical session.
Conference attendance will provide the student insight to both the NDIA and Navy initiatives
and needs, as well as the opportunity for public speaking. Industry gets a chance for
introductions. USW Division keeps active involvement in student S&T education.
•
The fund could cover registration, travel/per diem, and a speaker’s honorarium. Estimated
total $2,500 per student. Alternately we could continue to use conference fees to cover part of
the cost, e.g., registration or travel expenses.
•
We can sponsor 2 to 4 students per year as the fund allows. Target maintaining the fund at
250K. (Ave. 4% return will generate 10K/year) (Ave. Last 4 years was 6K/year)
University Participation/Thoughts
Contacts at peer institutions consider any award of benefit to their students and
appreciate NDIA USW Division initiatives.
• ARL:UT had a recent graduate that could support the new initiative but no
current student in position in time for the Spring Conference.
• APL:UW and ARL/PSU had students in position and nominated the
following:
• APL:UW, Andrew White
Wavefront intensity statistics for broadband transmissions in the Philippine Sea
•
ARL/PSU, Alexander Sell
Passive ranging using towed arrays in shallow water environments
Both students submitted abstracts. Both topics seem to fall in the sensor session. Alerted Jose
Rio to these submittals.
Summary
• Awarded Academic Fellowships for CY 12/13 to three PhD candidates at 3 Navy
UARCs
• Replacing these academic education stipends with a speaker’s award to increase
exposure of the students to industry and vice versa and provide flexibility to maintain
the fund at the 250K level
• Students selected and abstracts submitted
• Decide on registration fees (recommend waive)
• Decide on amount of award (recommend $2500)
• Cover travel, per diem
• Speakers fee

MIW Committee Report
• Spring Conference Preparation
– Abstract submissions total 7; 3 Government and 4 Industry
– May get some from Sensors and Undersea Warfare Vehicles
– NMAWC also likely to contribute
– Still working on Government Liaison
• Conference Feedback
– Customer feedback – too many MIW conferences
– Technical session attendance still fairly robust
– Travel restrictions negatively impacting already poor participation from key
government office
• MIW Items of Interest
– PEO LCS Technology Day
– IMCMEX (Sept 2012) Report
Aviation USW Committee
• Glen Sharpe, Chairman
• Captain Matt Tobler, Liason
• Fall ‘12 synopsis
– Very low turnout for Aviation, 7 speakers.
– Maritime Patrol Association Symposium NAS Jacksonville April
16-19. Online Registration “Coming Soon”
• MPA does not conflict with NDIA on calendar this spring, but does compete
for participation. “Can’t do both”
• NDIA suggestions for the future:
– Cross Pollinate Technical Committees
• Gov Program Managers support their domains tech committees
• Many would like to see what their UWD sister programs are doing and look
for leverage opportunity.
– Hard for them to do both and no bench strength or approval to to send additional folks.
– Establish exploratory committee to look at venue change to the
Wash D.C. area:
• In back yard and local travel for OPNAV Resource Sponsors, NAVAIR, ONR,
DARPA and many others in the UW Industry – Will be hard to say NO.
• Opportunity to attract new members and solidify existing.
• Potential location – NAS Patuxent River, MD

in ASW that we need to bring into the NDIA UWD tent.
Plenty of space in numerous securable hangars to
conduct Plenary and Technical Committees, but
should also explore on base classroom facilities.
