As submarine threats from adversary countries continue to rise, the U.S. Navy must maintain and expand its anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. Warfighter readiness is the linchpin of the Navy’s ASW strategy, but the complexity of the ASW domain necessitates time-consuming training, and practical experiences to transfer those skills to the operational environment. Innovative training appro ...

As the nature of Naval warfare changes due to increasing technological innovations and adversarial capabilities, the US Navy must maintain its edge by continuing to invest in and develop sailor training. One technology area that is integral to the Navy’s future success regards the capability to enhance its distributed lethality by aggregating disparate sensor networks to create a common situatio ...

In traditional GMAW and modifications, the current melting the wire is the same as the current heating the base metal. To maintain a minimally acceptable productivity, the base metal heat input is typically much greater than the required to control the distortion at an acceptable or desirable level. In the modified GMAW proposed, a bypass torch is added to an existing GMAW system to bypass part of ...
