Marines are testing proto-types of the new Marine Aus-tere Patrolling System (MAPS)at an End User EvaluationfromJuly17-24 inCampPend-leton, Calif.

The Naval Surface War-fare Center Dahlgren Divi-sion (NSWCDD) developedMAPS as an individual, wear-able power management anddistribution system, enablingMarines to patrol longer with-out resupply.

“One of the goals of MAPSis to provide greater field sus-tainability to Marines,” saidMarineMaj. AnthonyMcNair,MarineLiaisonandMAPSPro-gram Sponsor at the MarineExpeditionary EnergyOffice.

The system features an ad-vancedsolarpanel andawaterfiltration system.

“There are a lot of metricsthat illustrate the correlationbetween transport missionsand combat casualties,” saidMcNair. “If we can decreasethe number of fuel and wa-ter resupplies Marines need,that’s fewer people we have toexpose to that danger and lesscasualties.”

The system integrates flat-form batteries and providesa central source of electricalenergy that can be adapted toany equipment’s electrical re-quirements.

Common electronics the

vest can power for Marinesinclude gear such as radios,night-vision goggles, globalpositioning system (GPS), lap-tops and Universal Serial Bus(USB) powered equipment.

“Dismounted Soldiersand Marines typically carrybetween 15 to 20 pounds ofunique batteries,” said EricSouth, NSWCDD lead elec-trical engineer for MAPS. “Insome cases, they may have adead radio, but a fully chargedGPS. The MAPS system willenable Marines to power thedead radio from theGPS.”

The vest power manager(VPM-402) provides Marineswith a universal interface tomultiple energy requirements.

“VPM is the electrical heartof the system,” said South.“You can plug in nearly anyenergy source between 4 and34 [volts direct current] andany energy load commonlyworn or carried by dismount-ed combatants. Whatever youwant to takepower fromorputpower into, the power man-ager automatically recognizedwhat’s plugged in and sets it-self to do the electrical conver-sations.”

The central power source,an ergonomically fitting bat-tery, fits into currently fieldedtactical vests. The wearablepower system and energy har-vesting capabilities of MAPSprovides potential to reducetheweightof carryingmultiplespares of standard batteries byup to10pounds foramultiple-daymission.

The vest further enhancesthe energy capabilities of Ma-

rines by adding an advanced,wearable solar panel devel-oped by the Naval ResearchLaboratory (NRL).

“In multi-junction (MJ)solar cells, each junction is‘tuned’ todifferentwavelengthbands in the solar spectrum toincreaseefficiency,” accordingto aNRL press release.

While NRL is developingthe multi-junction solar panelto break the 50-percent solarenergy conversion efficiencybarrier-the current record be-

ing 44 percent efficiency-thetriple-junction panel used inMAPSprovides30percenteffi-ciency.This is approximately a22 percent improvement overother solar panels in militaryuse.

In addition to solar energy,MAPS can accept power fromcivilian and military vehiclesand various commonly usedbatteries.

MAPS also features a waterfiltration system that providesMarines with safe drinking

water from any water sourcefound in the field.

MAPS is being developingfor the Marine Expedition-ary Energy Office and directlysupports the USMC Expedi-tionary Energy Strategy andImplementation Plan to,“deploy Marine Expedition-ary Forces that can maneuverfrom the sea and sustain C4I(command, control, comput-ers and intelligence) and lifesupport systems in place.”

“By 2025,” added McNair,“the commandant wants zerofuel to be used in the battle-field except formobility.”

The End User Evaluationtakes MAPS out of the lab andputs it on the backs ofMarinesto prepare for the trials of real-world use.

NSWC engineers are col-lecting performance data inaddition to comfort and us-ability feedback fromMarinesintegrating MAPS into theirstandard pre-deployment ex-ercises.

“This typeofprototype-lev-el testing is designed to gleanuser feedback, so when we gointo formal testing, it will bewith a system that has alreadybeen used byMarines and hasreceived their feedback,” saidSouth. “We rely heavily onour interactions with the fleetMarine Corps to improve oursystem.”

MAPS will undergo a sec-ond series of informal testingwith Marines in Bridgeport,Calif., this fall.

Plans have begun for thisyear’s King George Day of Car-ing. The event, administered byRappahannock United Way, willbe held Friday, Oct. 4. Day ofCaring was organized to providenonprofit agencies and schoolswith volunteer teams from localbusinesses to complete meaning-ful projects that fulfill agency andcommunity needs.

Projects are needed for thisyear’s event. If your non-profitagency or school is in need of freelabor to help organize, repair,beautify or generally enhanceyour organization, obtain an

agency packet and apply for vol-unteer assistance. Agencies maysubmit as many volunteer proj-ects as wanted or needed, thereis no limit. Projects can be halfday (four hours) or full day (eighthours). Agencies are responsiblefor materials, equipment and anypermits necessary to completeproject.

Projects can include but arenot limited to building play-grounds, decks and ramps, paint-ing walls and fences, cleaning upand landscaping outdoor areas,spring cleaning office space in-cluding washing windows, pol-

ishing furniture, and organizingclutter, organizing stock in store-rooms, stuffing envelopes andorganizing files and organizing adrive for your organization - per-haps a book drive, food, clothing,or whatever items your agencyneeds.

Sponsorship is also needed tomake the event successful. Mul-tiple options are available forsponsors, including the oppor-tunity for your business’s logo toappear on the back of the eventt-shirt.

A call for volunteers will go outin August. You can start organiz-

ing your team now to be ready forsign-ups. The larger your team,the quicker your project will go!

Last year’s Day of Caringevents around the area included601 volunteers, participationfrom 48 local businesses, 84 proj-ects completed, 46 non-profitagencies and schools served and$70,000 in volunteer hour value.

For sponsorship information,to register your project or formore info about volunteering,contact Jeron Hayes at (540) 284-0129 or [email protected].

River TestingNext WeekThe PotomacRiver TestRange will con-duct testing July16-18 that willinclude multiplerounds thatburn brightlyand descend tothe river undera parachute.Testing shouldnot cause noise.

Students from the Virginia Governor’s School touredthe electromagnetic railgun (EMRG) facility at Naval Sur-face Warfare Center Dahlgren Division on June 26. Studentsvisited the railgun facility to meet engineers and scientistsand get exposure to the applications of science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.

“This was a wonderful opportunity for the local highschool students to come and meet with engineers, scien-tists, and naval personnel who helped these students be-come excited about STEM fields,” said student instructorPatrick Foley. “Visiting the electromagnetic launch facilitywas a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that few have the priv-ilege to experience, and I think that these students and I willnever forget this experience.”

“It was mind boggling to me that the railgun could shoot

a projectile at 5,600 miles per hour!” said Raymond Daniels,a rising 9th grade at Courtland High School in SpotsylvaniaCounty, Va. “l was also intrigued by the fact that whether ornot you’re a computer scientist or an aerospace engineer,you can still help make a railgun.”

“Not only did they get a chance to be hands-on withsome of the cool things engineers can do, but they gained anunderstanding of how the design process they were learningin the classroom translated to real world experiences,” saidMarin Kobin, NSWCDD facility engineer.

“The experience was amazing.” said Timothy Quann, a9th-grade student at Courtland High School in SpotsylvaniaCounty, Va. “It is a dream of mine to pursue a STEM field. Ihope to take many STEM classes throughout the rest of highschool and college.”

Employees at Naval Sur-face Warfare Center Dahl-gren Division (NSWCDD)participated in their secondannual T-Shirt Day July 17.

The morale and team-building activity is a buildup for Diversity Day, andemployees were encour-aged to sport the T-shirtsof non-profit organizationsand charities with meaningto them.

“Diversity makes usstronger,” said MarcellaBushrod, NSWCDD Disabil-ity Program manager andSpecial Emphasis Programcoordinator. “For this year’sevent we decided to focus oncharities. People have manydifferent organizations theysupport, and that shows notonly our diversity but also

our unity.”Donna Reedal, Warfare

Systems Program director,sported a shirt she earnedparticipating in Face ofAmerica, a charity bike ride.

“World Team Sportsprovides opportunities forinjured veterans to partici-pate in sports and learn toenhance their lives throughsport,” said Reedal. “Theshirt I’m wearing is for a bi-cycle ride I completed thatis 110 miles over two days.It was an awesome experi-ence.”

Many of the shirts repre-sented strong personal tieswith the organization repre-sented.

“I got this shirt manyyears ago when I beganworking with the Cystic Fi-brosis Foundation,” saidEvan Bezeredi, a softwareengineering student study-ing at the Warfare SystemsDepartment.

“I have cystic fibrosis,and I have been fortunate

enough to never have beenadmitted to the hospital

since I was diagnosed,” saidBezeredi. “Not many cys-

tic fibrosis patients can saythat. Partnering with this

foundation is a way to giveback. They’ve helped me alot by funding many of thetests that I’ve needed.”

The attire allowedNSWCDD employees tolearn more about one an-other by discussing their T-shirt’s significance.

“My shirt is for the LawEnforcement Torch Run,”said Vera Ward, a secretaryat NSWCDD. “I receivedit when I was participat-ing with the King’s GeorgeCounty Sheriff’s Depart-ment. A family friend whoworks for the Sheriff’s de-partment has a son withDown syndrome, and weparticipate to show our sup-port for his family.”

The next diversity activ-ity is Office Food Day, whichencourages employees toprepare and share their fa-vorite foods with their co-workers, August 14.

NSWCDD is scheduled tocelebrate Diversity Day onOctober 16.

The U.S. Department of Energy an-nounced the Naval Surface WarfareCenter (NSWC) Carderock Facilities andModel Fabrication Division earned aFederal Energy and Water ManagementAward, July 3.

The award, which honors honor indi-viduals and organizations making signif-icant contributions to energy and waterefficiency within the federal government,will be presented at the U.S. Departmentof the Interior’s Sidney R. Yates Audito-rium in Washington, D.C., Nov. 6.

“We have been on the forefront withthese programs for more than a decade,”said Joseph Katacinski, NSWCCD Fa-cilities and Model Fabrication divisionhead. “This award recognizes our con-tinuous efforts in managing Carderock’senergy and water programs.”

In January 2007, former PresidentGeorge W. Bush signed an executive or-der requiring all federal agencies to in-

crease energy efficiency by 30 percent by2015, compared to the fiscal year 2003baseline. Additionally, one of the secre-tary of the Navy’s energy security goalsis to increase the use of alternative en-ergy ashore so that by 2020, 50 percent ofNavy installations will be net-zero energycompliant.

Including fiscal year 2012, NSWC Car-derock has achieved a 22.25 percent en-ergy reduction in relations to the fiscalyear 2003 baseline.

NSWC Carderock’s energy programis corporately managed, with resourcesharing and best practices utilized acrossall sites, including the three largest en-ergy consuming sites at Carderock Head-quarters located in West Bethesda, Md.;the Ship Systems Engineering Stationlocated in Philadelphia; and the LargeCavitation Channel located in Memphis,Tenn.

Multiple repair projects were imple-mented at Carderock to increase theefficiency of major building heatingand cooling systems. In West Bethes-da, a newly-constructed building was

equipped with a 21-kilowatt photovol-taic array, solar domestic hot water anda vegetative roof. In Philadelphia, energyenhancements were made to the newlyconstructed electric drive test facility toenable operation on natural gas, whichis less expensive than petroleum fuel, isdomestically available and creates feweremissions. Based on these initiatives,Carderock is on track to meet the man-dated energy reduction goals in 2015.

NSWC Carderock is a Naval Sea Sys-tems Command field activity. Its respon-sibilities span a broad range includingscience and technology, research and de-velopment, test and evaluation, productdelivery and fleet support. The CarderockDivision leads the Navy in hull, mechani-cal and electrical engineering expertiseand delivers technical solutions to thefleet. Headquartered in West Bethesda,Md., Carderock’s approximately 3,600scientists, engineers, technicians andsupport personnel are located at facili-ties across the United States.

MWR Highlights


By Andrew RevelosStaff Writer

As hurricane seasonramps up, the death and dev-astation caused by last year’sHurricane Sandy is worthrecollecting. A report by theNational Hurricane Centerrecorded 159 direct and indi-rect deaths as a result of thehurricane in the U.S., includ-ing two in Virginia. It causedapproximately $68 billion indamage and left more than6 million electric customerswithout power for days.

When Sandy closed inon the U.S. East Coast, direestimations of the storm’spotential for damage werewidely-reported. Before themassive, category two stormcame ashore in New Jerseyon October 29, residents allalong the mid-Atlantic coastwere warned to prepare bycivic leaders, emergencymanagers and meteorolo-gists, who were unable tomake a precise landfallpredication. That lack of cer-tainly pressured retail supplychains over a wide area andmany essential items werein short supply in the daysbefore the storm. The lesson:prepare for tropical stormsand hurricanes before land-fall is imminent.

Hurricane Sandy couldhave hit the Chesapeake Bayregion with devastating re-sults for Dahlgren and to alesser extent, Indian Head.A newly-released, interactivemap from Stanford Univer-sity’s Woods Institute for theEnvironment and the Natu-ral Capital Project details

areas of the nation’s coastal

waterways that are vulner-

able to flooding and storm

surge. The map takes into

consideration the protectionafforded by natural featuressuch as wetlands, as well aspredicted rises in sea leveldue to climate change. Thereare several high-risk areasalong Dahlgren. The map isaccessible at http://www.naturalcapitalproject.org/CoastalHazard_WebPortal.html.

Hurricane season in theregion is from June 1 to No-vember 30.

Communication is es-sential during and after ma-jor storms and a few simplemeasures can help readersstay connected. All person-

nel assigned to Dahlgrenand Indian Head shouldenroll in the Naval DistrictWashington Wide-Area AlertNetwork, which distributesemergency informationthrough emails, text messag-ing and phone. Service mem-bers, dependents and Navycivilian employees shouldalso enroll in the Navy Fami-ly Accountability and Assess-ment System (NFAAS), whichhelps leaders maintain ac-countability after disasters.Users should update theirNFAAS accounts regularly,as outdated contact informa-tion could delay emergencyresponders.

NFAAS now offers asmartphone app compat-ible with most phones. To

download the app or enrollin NFASS, visit https://na-vyfamily.navy.mil/cas/login

Enrollment in reverse911 is another good way tostay informed of emergencyevents. To enroll in thesefree services for Kind GeorgeCounty and Charles County,visit www.kgalert.com andhttp://www.charlescount-ycns.com.

All Navy and MarineCorps families should have adisaster kit and plan in placebefore a large storm looms.“Whether you are planningfor extreme weather condi-tions or manmade emer-gencies, you should prepareyour household with a fewsafety precautions to ensureyour safety and survival,”

said Tim Bennett, emergencyoperations manager for Na-val Support Activity SouthPotomac.” One of the bestways is prepare an emergen-cy survival kit or one can bepurchased for under 30 dol-lars.”

Readers should keep inmind that each family’s listwill vary according to theirown unique needs. Kits in-clude food, water, prescrip-tion medication, cash, copiesof important documents andquite a few additional items.

Every family membershould know where the kit is;this kit should be taken withthe family in case of evacua-tion. Keeping an additional,portable kit at the workplaceis also advisable.

Family Emergency Plansare another critical elementof hurricane preparation.The plan should includeemergency contact informa-tion and a meeting place, incase members of the familybecome separated. Keep inmind that phone service, in-cluding cell phone service, isnot always functional duringand after emergencies. “Al-ways have a family disasterplan!” said Bennett.

A U.S. Navy graphic produced by Navy Personnel Command promoting theNavy’s new responsible drinking campaign, “Keep What You’ve Earned.”

NORFOLK (NNS) --More than 650 Sailors fromcommands throughoutthe Hampton Roads areamarched in support of the“Keep What You’ve Earned”

(KWYE) campaign on Na-val Station Norfolk July 2.

“Keep What You’veEarned” is a fleet-wide cam-paign that encourages Sail-ors to make good decisionsand illustrates the conse-quences of a bad decision.

“Because one bad deci-sion could cost you not onlyyour Navy career, but yourfamily and even your life,”said NSN Command Mas-ter Chief Anthony E. Adams.“Our Sailors on shore and atsea work hard and deservewhat they earned. This cam-paign is designed to helpprevent them from makinga decision or a series of de-cisions that could cost themeverything.”

Sailors held up signs de-glamourizing alcohol, tex-

ting while driving, domesticviolence and sexual assaultwhile they marched.

“This was an opportu-nity to voice our concernsand opinions about seriousissues that are affecting theNavy and the military as awhole,”

said Adams. “We want toeducate our Sailors on mak-ing choices that will helpthem in the future.”

When the march endedat the parade field, the Sail-ors who participated in themarch were treated to re-freshments and entertain-ment provided by Morale,Welfare and Recreation,such as rock climbing.

“The biggest part ofworking with ‘Keep WhatYou’ve Earned’ is it givesus a chance to show Sailorsthat there are other alterna-tives to have fun other thangoing out and drinking,”said Christopher Robus,the MWR director at NSN.

“Master Chief Adams playedan integral part in reach-ing out to us and giving usthe opportunity to offer ourservices to our Sailors fromvacations to group activitiesaround the Hampton Roadsarea.”

Capt. David A. Culler,commanding officer NSN,spoke to Sailors at the pa-rade field about the impor-tance of the campaign.

“I want to see our Sailorssucceed in whatever theydo,” said Culler.

“Sailors need to realizethat they need to know theconsequences of their deci-sions regardless of whetherthey are in the workplace oroutside of it. I believe thatthis campaign is making adifference in our Navy and Itrust that our Sailors will bemaking the right decisionsand choices for themselvesand their families.”

gency kit items and a sample Family Emergency Plan is ac-cessible at: https://www.ready.navy.mil/

In rare instances, Dahlgren or Indian Head may be evacu-ated before a major storm makes landfall. “If you are toldto evacuate by local or Navy authorities, please do so,” saidBennett. “Do not try and second guess the experts; you couldlose your life. It’s that serious.”

All personnel resided in base housing are responsiblefor their own evacuation and shelter. Making emergencyarrangements with friends or family inland before such anevent is therefore advisable.

The same applies to Aegis Training and Readiness CenterSailors who live in the barracks. “During any ordered evacu-ation, the ATRC Sailors residing in the Dahlgren Barracksmay transport themselves and proceed to a Safe Haven oftheir choosing, such as a relative or friend’s home, as long itis outside the evacuation area,” said Herbert Jansen, ATRCcommand security director. “Barracks Sailors without trans-portation or Safe Haven housing shall be bused to a desig-nated Safe Haven. Safe Haven locations are Fort A. P. Hill,Quantico or hotels in the western part of Virginia in the areaof Culpepper, Lynchburg etc.”

Hurricanes and tropical storms are not the only disastersDahlgren and Indian Head-based personnel should be awareof. “Indian Head and Dahlgren are both under threat of annualsevere thunderstorms which can cause flooding, wind damage,power outages and severe lightning strikes, which can causefires and deaths,” said Bennett. “We have recently seen in themedia the devastation and destruction that they can cause.”

Tornadoes often go hand-in-hand with coastal storms.“Anytime we have tropical storm formulations the risk oftornados are extremely high,” said Bennett. “Tornados con-cern me the most, as most of the time we have only minutesto react, if at all. If you receive an alert from our PAO or localmedia follow their instructions immediately!”

Personnel at Dahlgren and Indian Head should be pre-pared to be without power for at least a few days in the wakeof a major storm. Power is provided to NSF Indian Head bythe Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative; NSF Dahlgrenis serviced Dominion Virginia Power. Both Indian Head andDahlgren have electrical assets like industrial generatorsmaintained by Naval Facilities and Engineering Command.NAVFAC, SMECO and Dominion Virginia Power have allhandled storms “extremely well,” said Bennett, who nev-ertheless emphasized the importance of preparation for atleast three days without power.

Though NAVFAC electrical assets may be used to powerbase housing in some situations and in non-working hours,mission-critical activities get first priority. At Indian Head,for example, some base housing along Strauss Avenue is tiedinto base generators. Newer base housing, however, is not.

Power outages have received much publicity in the regionin the last few years. Some customers were without power forseveral days in the wake of last year’s derecho. If the powergoes out in the wake of a major storm, contact base housing.

“In most cases they will already know and taken steps torestore power via NAVFAC or have already been in contactwith the local electric company,” said Bennett. “If you liveoff-base, contact your local electric company. The last tropi-cal storm we had where power was affected for over a weekwas I believe, Hurricane Earl in September of 2010. Hurri-cane Irene just missed us in 2012 [and] we were very luckythe track took a westward path and only gave us rain andsome wind.”
