Dr. R.A. LeFande was born on Staten Island, New York on February 8, 1941. He attended the Brooklyn Technical

High School and obtained his undergraduate degree in physicsfrom the University of Rhode Island in 1962. After a brief tour asa telephone equipment engineer with Western Electric Com-pany in New York City, he returned to academic pursuits,earning a Master’s degree in physics from the Rutgers Univer-sity in 1965.

In July of 1965, Dr. LeFande joined the Naval ResearchLaboratory as a research physicist in the Satellite Communica-tions Branch. He worked on a variety of projects related to the

design of waveforms for Naval applications, calibration of antennas and path losses by methods borrowedfrom radio astronomy, and on the design and acquisition of satellite communication terminals for shipboardand submarine use. By drawing on this work for a thesis topic, he obtained his Ph.D. from the University ofMaryland in 1973, in the areas of astronomy and astrophysics.

In 1976, Dr. LeFande became Head of the Special Communications Branch where he nurtured andencouraged an NRL team of scientists and engineers in the development of satellite communications termi-nals that are now being deployed in the Fleet, and in establishing the scientific understanding and practicaldesign principles that contributed to the selection of waveforms for MILSTAR and other systems.

From 1979 to 1981, Dr. LeFande was Technical Director and System Engineer of the Special Communica-tion Project of the Naval Electronic Systems Command. He oversaw several research and acquisition pro-grams related to submarine communications, which covered the spectrum from extremely low frequenciesthrough optics and included the maintenance and operation of a worldwide network of radio transmitterfacilities. After termination of the project and a brief tour as Deputy Director, Research and TechnologyGroup, Dr. LeFande returned to NRL as Superintendent of the Aerospace Systems Division. Here he guided adiverse program of basic and applied research in Wide Area Surveillance Systems, Space Warfare, and inrelated areas of physical science, materials, and device technology. From 1983 to 1990, Dr. LeFande served asAssociate Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (C3I and Space), providing technical and philosophicaladvice to eight assistant and deputy assistant secretaries. In this capacity, he took a keen interest in the issuesof acquisition management reform and of the appropriate roles and missions of the Laboratory and the otherCenters in the acquisition process. During this tour, Dr. LeFande was selected as a Legis Fellow and served onthe staff of Representative Byron for six months in 1989, working on a variety of issues and legislation relatedto the armed services, science and technology, foreign affairs, and other matters.

Dr. LeFande returned to the Laboratory in October 1990, where he served on the staff of the Director ofResearch. He was designated Acting Associate Director of Research in February 1991, and Associate Directorof Research in February 1992.

The Center for Bio/Molecular Science and Engineering is using the tools of modern biology, physics,chemistry, and engineering to develop advanced materials and sensors. The long-term research goal is first togain a fundamental understanding of the relationship between molecular architecture and the function ofmaterials, then apply this knowledge to solve problems for the Navy and DOD community. The key theme isthe study of complex bio/molecular systems with the aim of understanding how “nature” has approachedthe solution of difficult structural and sensing problems. Technological areas currently being studied includemolecular and microstructure design, molecular biology, self-assembly, controlled release and encapsulation,and surface patterning and modification. Much of the research deals with the self-assembly of lipids, proteins,and liquid crystals into complex microstructures for use in advanced material applications, and the harness-ing of the recognition functions of proteins and cells for the development of advanced sensors. A highlymultidisciplinary staff is required to pursue these research and development programs. The Center providesa stimulating environment for cross-disciplinary programs in the areas of immunology, biochemistry, electro-chemistry, inorganic and polymer chemistry, microbiology, microlithography, photochemistry, biophysics,spectroscopy, advanced diagnostics, organic synthesis, and electro-optical engineering.

Dr. E.O. Hartwig was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on Novem- ber 22, 1946. He obtained his B.S. degree in biological

sciences from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1968, and hisPh.D. from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1974. Aftercompleting his graduate studies, Dr. Hartwig accepted a posi-tion as a researcher at the Scottish Marine Biological Association(SMBA) in Oban, Scotland, where he established a seagoingexperimental marine microbiological effort.

In 1975, Dr. Hartwig returned to the U.S., accepting a posi-tion at the Chesapeake Bay Institute of Johns Hopkins Univer-sity. His shallow water research concentrated on the ChesapeakeBay and its outflow region, in active collaboration with many

institutions and scientists. The efforts sought to understand the biological dynamics associated with the Bay’sflow regimes, and studied the underlying water column and benthic biological processes resulting in theonset of the seasonal summer anoxia of the bay.

In 1978, Dr. Hartwig accepted a position at Marine Ecological Consultants (MEC), where his researchcentered on understanding the “before operations” environment at a nuclear generating station. In 1980, Dr.Hartwig accepted a position at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) at the University of California atBerkeley to head up the biological component of a research team studying the concept of a proposed OceanThermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant. His work involved extensive interactions with engineers on theoperating characteristics of the plant and physical oceanographers modeling flow regimes around the plantand to be generated by the plant.

Following his research at LBL, Dr. Hartwig joined the Office of Naval Research in 1982 as a scientificofficer in the Oceanic Chemistry/Biology Program. When the program was split into an Oceanic Chemistryand Oceanic Biology Program, Dr. Hartwig became Program Manager of the Oceanic Biology Program. Here,Dr. Hartwig developed several major interdisciplinary research initiatives for the Navy.

In 1987, Dr. Hartwig was selected as Director of Ocean Sciences at ONR. He enhanced both universityinteractions with Ocean Sciences and the stature of ONR Ocean Science scientific officers and programmanagers in the Federal Government. Dr. Hartwig, working with the Oceanographer of the Navy, developedand implemented the Navy’s academic research vessel rebuild program, which has resulted in fewer, morecapable oceanographic vessels for the next millennium.

Dr. Hartwig joined NRL in October 1992 as Associate Director of Research for Ocean and AtmosphericScience and Technology. In 1996, Dr. Hartwig was presented the Presidential Rank Award of MeritoriousExecutive in the Senior Executive Service (SES). In 2000, Dr. Hartwig was elected to be President of TheOceanography Society, an international scientific organization.

DR. P.R. SCHWARTZ


The Remote Sensing Division conducts a program of basic research, science, and applications aimed atthe development of new concepts for sensors and imaging systems for objects and targets on the Earth, in thenear-Earth environment, and in deep space. The research, both theoretical and experimental, deals withdiscovering and understanding the basic physical principles and mechanisms that give rise to target andbackground emission and to absorption and emission by the intervening medium. The accomplishment ofthis research requires the development of sensor systems technology. The development effort includes activeand passive sensor systems to be used for the study and analysis of the physical characteristics of phenomenathat give rise to naturally occurring background radiation, such as that caused by the Earth’s atmosphere andoceans, as well as man-made or induced phenomena such as ship/submarine hydrodynamic effects. Theresearch includes theory, laboratory, and field experiments leading to ground-based, airborne or spacesystems for use in such areas as remote sensing, astrometry, astrophysics, surveillance, nonacoustic ASW,and improved meteorological support systems for the operational Navy. Special emphasis is given to devel-oping space-based platforms and exploiting existing space systems.

The Marine Geosciences Division has responsibility for planning and executing a broad spectrumresearch, development, and technology program in marine geology, geophysics, geoacoustics, geotechniques,and geospatial information and systems (GIS). The program is designed to provide necessary digital data-bases, geoacoustic and geophysical models, and simulations to support training, system design, performanceprediction, and operational needs of the Navy.

The applied portion of the program is directed toward (1) quantitatively predicting the effects of theseafloor and associated geophysical, geomorphological, and geoacoustic variability on performance ofpresent and emerging naval systems, operations, and plans, and (2) developing technology and techniques torapidly acquire, process, and analyze MC&G (such as gravity, magnetics, and bathymetry) and other types ofgeological, geophysical, and geoacoustic information to meet existing digital database requirements of theChief of Naval Operations (CNO), National Image and Mapping Agency (NIMA), and system commands.

The Division serves as the focal point in the Navy and Marine Corps for assessing and identifying MC&Grequirements, including prototype digital MC&G products and product coordination. The program is keyedto and responsive to priorities identified by NRL, Office of Naval Research, CNO, the System Commands,NIMA, and Federal Homeland Defense programs. Close coordination and interaction with the WarfareCenters is essential to the success of this program with transition of Division products to system developersand the operational Navy a primary goal. The Division program is coordinated and interactive with otherNRL programs and activities, ONR’s Research Program Department, NOAA, USGS, NSF, and other govern-ment agencies involved in seafloor activities. The Division collaborates and cooperates with scientists fromthe academic community, other U.S. and foreign laboratories, and industry.

Publications, Presentations, and Patents

The Navy continues to be a pioneer in initiating new developments and a leader in applying theseadvancements to military requirements. The primary means of informing the scientific and engineeringcommunity of the advances made at NRL is through the Laboratory’s technical output—reports, articles inscientific journals, contributions to books, papers presented to scientific societies, and topical conferences,patents, and inventions.

The figures for calendar years 2000 and 2001 presented below represent the output of NRL facilities inWashington, DC; Bay St. Louis, Mississippi; and Monterey, California.

In addition to the output listed, NRL scientists made more than 1,257 oral presentations during 2000 and678 oral presentations during 2001.

In 1986, Congress enacted the Federal Technology Transfer Act in an effort to encourage the commercialuse of technology developed in Federal laboratories. The Act allows Government inventors and the laborato-ries where they work to share the royalties generated by commercial licensing of their inventions. Also, theAct encourages the establishment of cooperative research and development agreements between laboratoriessuch as NRL and nonfederal entities such as state and local governments, universities, and business corpora-tions. Such cooperative R&D agreements can include the allocation in advance of patent rights on any inven-tions made under the joint research effort.

The 1986 Act has given additional impetus to the Laboratory’s efforts to patent important inventionsarising out of its various research programs.

Programs for NRL Employees

NRL employees participate in hundreds of individual training events throughout the year.Many of these are presented under the auspices of the Human Resources Office as in-housecourses on diverse technical subjects, computer software, and management techniques.

One common study procedure is for employees to work full time at the Laboratory whiletaking job-related scientific courses at universities and schools in the Washington area. Thetraining ranges from a single course to full graduate-level programs. Tuition for training is paidby NRL. The formal programs offered by NRL are described below.

Graduate Programs• The Advanced Graduate Research Program

(formerly the Sabbatical Study Program, whichbegan in 1964) enables selected professional em-ployees to devote full time to research or pursuework in their own or a related field for one year atan institution or research facility of their choicewithout the loss of regular salary, leave, or fringebenefits. NRL pays all educational costs, travel, andmoving expenses for the employee and dependents.Criteria for eligibility include professional statureconsistent with the applicant’s opportunities andexperience, a satisfactory program of study, andacceptance by the facility selected by the applicant.The program is open to paraprofessional (andabove) employees who have completed six years ofFederal service, four years of which are required atNRL.

• The Edison Memorial Graduate TrainingProgram enables employees to pursue advancedstudies in their fields at local universities. Partici-pants in this program work 24 hours each work-week and pursue their studies during the other 16hours. The criteria for eligibility include a minimumof one year of service at NRL, a bachelor’s ormaster’s degree in an appropriate field, and profes-

NRL has established programs for the professional and personal development of its employees so thatthey may better serve the needs of the Navy. These programs develop and retain talented people and keepthem abreast of advanced technology and management skills. Graduate assistantships, fellowships, sabbaticalstudy programs, cooperative education programs, individual college courses, and short courses for personalimprovement contribute to professional development.

Programs also exist for non-NRL employees. These programs enhance research efforts by providingmeans for non-NRL professionals to work at the Laboratory, thereby improving the interchange of ideas,meeting critical short-term technical requirements, and providing sources of new scientists and engineers.The programs include two-year graduate fellowships, faculty and professional interchanges, undergraduatework, and introducing gifted and talented high school students to the world of technology.

sional standing in keeping with the candidate’sopportunities and experience.

• To be eligible for the Select Graduate Train-ing Program, employees must have a college degreein an appropriate field and must have demonstratedability and aptitude for advanced training. Studentsaccepted in this program devote a full academicyear to graduate study. While attending school, theyreceive one half of their salary; NRL pays fortuition, books, and laboratory expenses.

• The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS),located in Monterey, California, provides graduateprograms to enhance the technical preparation ofNaval officers and civilian employees who servethe Navy in the fields of science, engineering,operations analysis, and management. It awards amaster of arts degree in national security affairs anda master of science degree in many technical disci-plines.

NRL employees desiring to pursue graduatestudies at NPS may apply for a maximum of sixquarters away from NRL, with thesis work accom-plished at NRL. Specific programs are described inthe NPS catalog. Participants will continue toreceive full pay and benefits during the period ofstudy.

Inturn, NRL’s research program is strengthened bythe available scientific and engineering expertise ofthe USNA faculty.

• The National Defense Science and Engineer-ing Graduate Fellowship Program helps U.S.

citizens obtain advanced training in disciplines ofscience and engineering critical to the U.S. Navy.The three-year program awards fellowships torecent outstanding graduates to support their studyand research leading to doctoral degrees in speci-fied disciplines such as electrical engineering,computer sciences, material sciences, appliedphysics, and ocean engineering. Award recipientsare encouraged to continue their study and researchin a Navy laboratory during the summer.

For further information about these six pro-grams, please contact Mrs. Lesley Renfro at (202)404-7450.

• The Professional Development Program forEnsigns assigns newly commissioned ensigns whoare awaiting future training to NRL, working inareas of their own choosing commensurate withtheir academic qualifications. These young officersprovide a fruitful summer of research assistancewhile gaining valuable experience in the Navy’sR&D program.

For more information, contact the MilitaryAdministrative Office, LT Paul Simmons at (202)767-7511.

Professional Appointments• Faculty Member Appointments use the

special skills and abilities of faculty members forshort periods to fill positions of a scientific, engi-neering, professional, or analytical nature.

• Consultants and experts are employedbecause they are outstanding in their fields ofspecialization, or because they possess ability of arare nature and could not normally be employed asregular civil servants.

• Intergovernmental Personnel Act Appoint-ments temporarily assign personnel from state orlocal government or an educational institution tothe federal government (or vice versa) to improvepublic services rendered by all levels of govern-ment.
