  • Navy Lasers, Railgun, and Hypervelocity Projectile: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Lasers, Railgun, and Hypervelocity Projectile: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs March 18, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44175 Navy Lasers, Railgun, and Hypervelocity Projectile: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The Navy is currently developing three potential new weapons that could improve the ability of its surface ships to defend themselves against enemy missiles—solid state lasers (SSLs), the electromagnetic railgun (EMRG), and the hypervelocity projectile (HVP). Any one of these new weapon technologies, if successfully developed and deployed, might be regarded as a “game changer” for defending Navy surface ships against enemy missiles. If two or three of them are successfully developed and deployed, the result might be considered not just a game changer, but a revolution. Rarely has the Navy had so many potential new types of surface- ship missile-defense weapons simultaneously available for development and potential deployment. Although the Navy in recent years has made considerable progress in developing SSLs, EMRG, and HVP, a number of significant development challenges remain. Overcoming these challenges will likely require years of additional development work, and ultimate success in overcoming them is not guaranteed. The issue for Congress is whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy’s funding requests and proposed acquisition strategies for these three potential new weapons. Potential oversight questions for Congress include the following:

  • Happy Independence
    UPDATE NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL POSTGRADUATE NAVAL DCNO for Warfighting Development Honors NPS Graduates During In-Person Ceremony By MC3 James Norket For the first time in more than a year, the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) celebrated a graduating class in person during a graduation ceremony for its Spring Quarter graduates, June 18, honoring and recognizing their remarkable achievements and resiliency. While these graduates mostly completed their education in a remote learning environment, during their time at NPS they were able to effectively adapt to overcome the adversity. NPS President retired Vice Adm. Ann E. Rondeau addressed the graduating class praising them for their resilience during a global pandemic. “As we reflect on what 2020 was like, this pandemic may have had the closest thing to the effects of what the Great Depression did, it forced on us separation and disassociation,” said Rondeau. “And there was this extraordinary thing that happened in that virtually there was great learning going on, and you met the expectation of the mission. At NPS, we are you. We are military leaders, educators and staff serving those who serve our nation and serving each other. Together we solve hard problems and create solutions. You are the decisive advantage that we deliver. We are you. And that’s the magic of NPS.” Commencement speaker, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfighting Development (N7) Vice NPS Adm. Jeff Hughes, congratulated the 364 graduates, including 23 international students from 15 countries, conveying how the nation’s warfighting advantage in the era of Great Power Competition will hinge on intellectual capital and technological innovation driving solutions.

  • Opening Statement Chris Fall Nominee to Be Director of the Office of Science at the Department of Energy Nomination Hearing U.S
    Opening Statement Chris Fall Nominee to be Director of the Office of Science at the Department of Energy Nomination Hearing U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources June 26, 2017 Chairman Murkowski, Ranking Member Cantwell, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you as the nominee to be the Director of the Office of Science at the Department of Energy. I would also like to thank the President and Secretary Perry for their trust and confidence in nominating me. I am deeply honored to be considered for this position assisting the Secretary in the leadership of what I believe to be the world’s pre-eminent science enterprise. Please allow me to introduce to you my family from across the river in Arlington. My wife, Dr. Sandra Wilkniss, may be familiar to some of you from her time as staff for Senator Heinrich and Senator Bingaman before that. She is joined by our daughter Alex and our son Leo. I believe that some of my current and former colleagues are here and I appreciate their support. Sandra and I came to Washington just about eight years ago from Academia to do one year science policy fellowships, and I had the great fortune to land at the Office of Naval Research to work on innovation strategies. The Navy cleverly convinced me to stay longer with a remarkable trip to an aircraft carrier at sea, and I moved on to run the international liaison office, to be the deputy director of research for STEM and Workforce programs, and most recently to briefly manage the Navy’s basic research portfolio and to be the acting Chief Scientist.
