Ship Design Tools Project - Systems Engineering Program Manager
for the Ship Design Tools (SDT) project for NAVSEA 92R in the development
of an integrated computational design environment for submarine design
implementing codes for hydrodynamics, propulsor design, and hydroacoustics.
Involved creation of structured information models (IDEF0 and IDEF1X),
integration of codes (RANS, CFD, FEA, others), and computational environment
(Intergraph CAD 2, unix xwindows/motif) into a design tool for preliminary
submarine design. |

Propeller Working Group - Team leader of a team of 14 scientists,
engineers, and Navy program managers for Naval
Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) 03, PMS-393, 92R, and 92D project to investigating
submarine propeller cavitation phenomena. Involved data gathering, analysis,
sea trials, and engineering and operational changes to propeller design
and submarine operational limits to mitigate cavitation occurrence. |

Submarine Maneuvering Design Tool Project- Navy project manager
for Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA) project at the Hydrodynamic/Hydroacoustic
Technology Center (H/HTC) for development of maneuvering design tool
integrated by Draper Laboratory. Responsible for integrating GEORGE, TRAJv,
and Fastship into a single design environment for submarines. Worked in
conjunction with Vehicle Control Technologies, Inc. for submarine maneuvering
codes. |
|
CDNSWC Innovation Center System Technology Assessment Resource
(STAR) project - Team leader for project investigating the feasibility
of designing and implementing an integrated computational design capability
for CDNSWC ship and submarine design. Involved study of 25 corporations
and government agencies to determine how computational design is done,
and to then specify how to implement a system as a resource to CDNSWC engineers. |

New Attack Submarine (NAS) Cost and Operational Effectiveness
Analysis (COEA) Diesel-Electric Submarine Option Preliminary Design Team
- Participated on the design team as the Navy's submarine marine engineer
responsible for the propulsion plant and electrical system design with
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS)
in the design of the non-nuclear variant submarine for the NAS COEA. Traded
off design of 5 different propulsion systems including fuel cell, closed
cycle diesel, closed cycle Brayton, Stirling engine, Aluminum-Oxygen semi-cell
options. Implemented AHP downselect process to rank alternatives for multiple
objectives. |

Air Independent (Non-nuclear) Propulsion Systems Investigation
- team leader for DARPA led project under the Assistant Secretary of the
Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition (ASN (RD&A)) to assess
air independent propulsion (AIP) system technologies. Involved summarizing
each possible technology, identifying current state-of-the-art in AIP systems
and balance of plant subsystems, assessing foreign technology and submarine
implementations to date, and issuing a report to Congress through ONR Office
of Advanced Technologies (OAT) on findings and recommendations for feasibility
of AIP application in U. S. submarines, coordinating with CDNSWC, ONR,
DARPA, NAVSEA 92R, NAVSEA 08, and ASN(RD&A). |
