Naval Surface WarfareCenter Indian Head Ex-plosive Ordnance DisposalTechnology Division (NSWCIHEODTD) Explosive De-tection Equipment (EDE)Program concluded a week-long, user-based scenarioevaluation of colorimetricexplosive detection kits atU.S. Army Blossom PointResearch Facility, May 2.

Colorimetric detectiontechnology is based upona series of chemical reac-tions that produce a visualresponse, most often in theform of a color change. Thereactions are dependent onthe molecular structure ofthe compounds introducedto the colorimetric reagents.

Sponsored by the JointImprovised Explosive De-vice Defeat Organization(JIEDDO), the main goal ofthe week-long event wasto collect data on perfor-mance, usability, type ofusers, and type of missionsuitable for these kits thatuse a chemical reactionto produce a visual signalwhen explosives are detect-ed. The event also allowed

manufacturers receivefeedback directly from end-users in a variety of realisticscenarios.

“We were able to bringin a variety of military EODtechnicians and other gov-ernment , entry controlpoint personnel, forensic

specialists, and law enforce-ment personnel who wouldactually use kits like thesein the field - professionalswho encounter explosiveswhile performing their du-ties,” said Cristina Spencer,NSWC IHEODTD EDE pro-gram director.

The group includedrepresentatives from theTransportation SecurityAdministration (TSA), FBI,Department of HomelandSecurity, and the U.S. Mar-shals and all four servicesof EOD. The six companiesproviding demonstration

products were ChemSpec-tra, DetectaChem, FieldForensics, Lindon Defense,Mistral Security, and Mor-phix Technologies.

During the five-day eval-uation, participants operat-ed a variety of colorimetrickits within the confines ofrealistic scenarios that wereprepared by EDE Programmembers.

“The different scriptsinvolved trace and visibleamounts of actual explo-sives, as well as precursorsand materials that havethe potential to cause falsealarms,” said Spencer. “Weset up a backyard shed usedto manufacture HomemadeExplosives (HME), an eventline in which people werebeing screened, and an En-try Control Point (ECP) atwhich vehicles are beingscreened. We also staged asuspected letter bomb at amail screening facility, andconducted post-blast inves-tigations.”

All the participants weretrained how to use each ofthe colorimetric kits directlyby manufacturer represen-tatives. During the course

The scientist leadingNavy Laser Weapon Systemefforts was commended atthe Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division(NSWCDD) annual honorawards ceremony here May7.

NSWCDD CommanderCapt. Brian Durant pre-sented the Navy Meritori-ous Civilian Service Awardto Theresa Gennaro for herleadership in the design,development and inte-gration of the Navy LaserWeapon System - slated fordeployment aboard USSPonce later this summer.

“I’m honored to havethe opportunity to leadand work alongside thesebrilliant, hard-working anddedicated scientists, en-gineers and technicians,”said Gennaro. “This amaz-ing Laser Weapon SystemTeam designed and devel-oped the initial prototypewhich has been demon-strated in repeated suc-cesses, including the Na-vy’s first ever shoot downsof UAVs (unmanned aerialvehicles) from aboard aU.S. combatant -USS Dew-ey (DDG 105) - in 2012,making 12 for 12 totalshoot downs in the testingseries.”

Durant presented theaward to Gennaro as theaudience - more than 220civilian personnel and Sail-ors - listened to NSWCDDAsymmetric Systems De-partment Head John Lysh-er read the citation at theUniversity of Mary Wash-ington Dahlgren campus.

“Through her directleadership and work, theSolid State Laser QuickReaction Capability (QRC)has continued successfulintegration and deploy-ment of the Navy’s firsthigh-energy laser systemin an operational environ-ment onboard a U.S. navalcombatant,” according tothe citation.

The deployment onPonce will prove crucial asthe Navy continues its pushto provide laser weapons tothe fleet at large.

“I am extremely proudof our Laser Weapon Sys-tem QRC team and theirachievements to date,”said Dale Sisson, NSWCDDElectromagnetic and Sen-sor Systems DepartmentHead. “The team is trulyworld-class in every sense.Each and every memberhas gone above and beyondthe call of duty, workedlong hours, spent extendedperiods of time away from

home, and pushed the en-velope of technology toprepare the Navy’s first de-ployable high energy laserweapon for deploymentaboard Ponce.”

Gennaro’s team willinstall the prototype - animproved version of theLaser Weapon System - onPonce for at-sea testing inthe Persian Gulf, fulfillingplans announced by Chiefof Naval Operations Adm.Jonathan Greenert at the2013 Sea-Air-Space Expo.

“Our team has the ex-perience, knowledge, andpassionate drive to reachthe goal of delivering alaser weapon system toprotect our warfighters,”said Gennaro. “It is a greatadvantage to build an inte-grated team and lead thiseffort at NSWC Dahlgrenwhere experts in multipleareas ranging from laserweapons technology andlaser lethality to E3 (elec-tromagnetic environmen-tal effects), ship integra-tion, laser safety, and rangetesting are all availablehere on base - enabling usto continue to be the Na-vy’s Directed Energy Cen-ter of Excellence.”

The citation recognizedGennaro for establishing astrong project team acrossmultiple integrated processteams and strengtheningcoordination with projectsponsors, to include theOffice of Naval Researchand the Surface Navy’s Di-rected Energy and ElectricWeapons Systems ProgramOffice, also known as Na-

val Sea Systems Command(NAVSEA) PMS 405.

“Eighteen months ago,the Laser Weapon SystemTeam was challenged todo something that hadnever been done before,a task that many seniorleaders stated was impos-sible,” said Cmdr. VincentChernesky, NAVSEA PMS405 Deputy Program Man-ager. “Theresa Gennaroled the technical team atNSWC Dahlgren througha breakneck developmentcycle, sacrificing personaltime towards a commongoal they all believed in -that naval laser weaponsare a reality, and the futureof naval weaponry.”

Over the past sev-eral months, Gennaro’s65-member team - Navyengineers and scientistsworking with experts fromindustry and academia -significantly upgraded theLaser Weapon System.

“I cannot laud her andthe Laser Weapon Sys-tem Team enough fortheir heroic efforts,” saidChernesky.

Now, they are busymaking final adjustmentsto the first of its kind laserweapon prototype.

“This team has incred-ible perseverance andthey are a pleasure to workwith,” said Gennaro. “Theopportunity to take partin delivering such an ad-vanced concept to protectour warfighter is a careerhighlight.”

Using a video game-like controller, Sailors will

be able to manage the la-ser’s power to accomplisha range of effects againsta threat, from disabling tocomplete destruction.

“It is especially reward-ing to see our civilian teamworking hand-in-handwith our warfighters to de-velop, demonstrate, anddeliver this game-chang-ing capability,” said Sis-son. “This is yet anothergreat example of NSWCDahlgren Division’s abil-ity to design, develop, anddeliver an innovative andintegrated solution to thefight.”

Navy leaders have madedirected-energy weaponsa top priority to counterwhat they call asymmet-ric threats, including un-manned and light aircraftand small attack boats thatcould be used to deny U.S.forces access to certain ar-eas. High-energy lasers of-fer an affordable and safeway to target these threatsat the speed of light withextreme precision and anunlimited magazine, ex-perts say.

“I’m most appreciativeof the opportunity to play arole in shaping the Navy’sfuture weapon systems,”said Sisson. “Without adoubt, I believe that timewill prove our current pe-riod to be a major inflec-tion point in Naval weaponsystem development. Sim-ply put, we are making his-tory.”

The Laser Weapon System (LaWS) temporarily installed aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) in San Diego, Calif., is a technol-ogy demonstrator built by the Naval Sea Systems Command from com-mercial fiber solid state lasers, utilizing combination methods developedat the Naval Research Laboratory. LaWS can be directed onto targets fromthe radar track obtained from a MK 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon system orother targeting source.
