Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division(NSWCDD) will recognizeover 400 military personneland civilian employees in thecommand’s annual honoraryawards ceremony today.

John AdolphusDahlgren Award

Two employees are re-ceiving the John AdolphusDahlgren Award, the com-mand’s highest local awardestablished to recognizeindividuals with significantachievement in science, en-gineering or management.The award is named in honorof Rear Admiral John Adol-phus Dahlgren (1809-1870),inventor of the Dahlgren gunand considered the father ofmodern naval ordnance.

Robert Dibble from theEngagement Systems De-partment (G) is commend-ed for his contributions toNSWCDD’s rapid develop-ment capacity and capability.These contributions includeestablishing a governmentrapid development projectslab; the emphasis in the useof warfighter inputs early inthe development; an abilityto manage extremely com-plex projects and still rapidlydeliver a product; and theability to exploit the reuse

of standard integration soft-ware.

Marshall C. Baugher, headof the Electromagnetic Ef-fects Division, is recognizedfor superior technical leader-ship as a topside design engi-neer, program manager, andorganizational leader. Hehas devoted his professionalcareer at NSWCDD to ensur-ing the technical superiorityof electromagnetic environ-mental effects (E3) capabili-ties and that NSWCDD con-tinues to be the “go to” orga-nization for all things E3.

C. J. Rorie AwardCmdr. Marc Williams and

Lt. Cmdr. Jason Fox are thisyear’s recipients of the C. J.Rorie Award, established torecognize military person-nel assigned to NSWCDDwhose excellence in the per-formance of their duties hascontributed significantly tothe effectiveness of the divi-sion’s military operations.

The award is named inhonor of Rear Adm. C. J. Ro-rie, commander of the NavalSurface Warfare Center fromMarch 1975 to September1977.

He was instrumental inleading the center duringits early years, following theinitial merger of the NavalWeapons Laboratory and theNaval Ordnance Laboratory.

As project manager forGriffin Missile integration onCyclone-class coastal patrolcrafts (PC), Williams’ techni-cal expertise, communica-tion skills, fleet knowledgeand steady leadership wereinstrumental in the successof the program.

Fox is recognized for hisaccomplishments as the Ae-gis Ballistic Missile Defense

Flight Test Mission (FTM)lead systems engineer (LSE)for FTM16Event 2a andFTM-18. His technical understand-ing of the Aegis BMDCombatSystem and leadership of thegovernment/industry teamwere instrumental in the rig-orous preparation and suc-cessful execution of this criti-cal weapon system.Bernard Smith Award

which deals with the explo-ration, identification andcharacterization of funda-mental processes insidesemiconductor materialsthat produce photo-capaci-tance effect.

Until this work, photo-capacitance was a tool tocharacterize electronic prop-erties of semiconductor ma-terials in the laboratory envi-ronment. Boulais and Santi-ago found a way to constructa generic circuit equivalentmodel where the circuit pa-rameters are produced fromfundamental charge trans-port properties that emergewhen a semiconductor is ir-radiated with light.

As a result, for the firsttime there is a way to modeland extract design parame-ters for any electronic deviceapplication using photo-capacitance. This will enablethe creation of a new class ofcomposite materials knownas tunable artificial dielec-trics and will enable the real-ization of fully tunablemeta-materials systems.
