After 34 years of faithfulservice and surrounded byfamily and staff, Rear Adm.M. Stewart O'Bryan bidfarewell to Navy Air and Mis-sile Defense Command(NAMDC) during a May 4ceremony. Rear Adm. JosephA. Horn Jr., assumed com-mand of Navy Air and Mis-sile Defense Command.

"I am very fortunate tohave had the opportunity toserve in the Navy alongsidesome very impressive peo-ple," O'Bryan said during hisopening remarks."Throughout my career, theNavy has been about mis-sion success and taking careof Sailors and their families.Thank you to my family forstanding by me and sharingin my dreams and career."

Numbering 17 strong inattendance his family - in-cluding seven grand children- was often the focal point of

his remarks. "We have beenthrough a lot over the past 34years - 20 moves, countlessnew neighborhoods andmultiple schools. Ashley at-tended 12 different schools,Blake and Brittney both at-tended 11 different schools.We lived in 20 some housesthat Stacy turned intohomes. I wouldn't havechanged anything."

Operationally Rear Adm.O'Bryan started his career af-ter graduating from the Uni-versity of Louisville in 1978.It ended nearly 34 years tothe day. Starting as a RepairsOfficer on the USS Saratoga,he commanded four ships:USS Excel (MSO-439), USSEsteem (MSO-438), USS Gal-lant (MSO-489) and USSCole (DDG-67). He alsocommanded DestroyerSquadron 22 and CarrierStrike Group Three.

"I have learned much ineach and every assignment,but several really stand out:USS Excel, USS Cole, CDS-

22, Strike Group andNAMDC. USS Excel havingbeen my first command; Ilearned to appreciate speed- and experienced firsthandwhen you are in commandyou have no one to turn to.USS Cole was just special forme, Stacy and the kids. A lotof friendships were made,and building from the keelup was extremely rewarding.CDS-22 and Strike Groupwere truly operational com-mands doing what the Navydoes best - defending free-dom in both Operation IraqiFreedom and Operation En-during Freedom."

During the ceremonyRear Adm. O'Bryan receivedseveral awards including theDistinguished ServiceMedal. The citation notedthat his "exceptional leader-ship was responsible forconceiving, advocating andestablishing the Navy's War-fare Center of Excellence

Navy engineers demonstratedthe intelligence, surveillance and re-connaissance (ISR) capabilities of aship-based unmanned aerial system(UAS) for senior Coast Guard, Navyand Congressional stakeholders inan exercise on the Potomac River onNaval Support Facility Dahlgren, Va.May 3.

Naval Surface Warfare CenterDahlgren Division (NSWCDD) per-sonnel launched the Scan Eagle UASon simulated search and seizuremissions, successfully detecting andengaging fictional insurgents underthe watchful eyes of several CoastGuard senior leaders.

"The demonstration proved ourcapability to remotely engage hostilethreats from a Coast Guard cutterwith unmanned systems and per-sistent surveillance," said NSWCDDcommander, Capt. Michael Smith."This unmanned aerial system - de-veloped as a result of collaborationwith our military and industry part-ners - will greatly impact the CoastGuard's most challenging maritimesecurity, law enforcement and na-

tional defense missions."Military and civilian officials from

Naval Air Systems Command, NavalSea Systems Command and industry

in addition to a Senate Armed Serv-ices Committee staff member joinedCoast Guard officers on Dahlgren'sPotomac RiverTest Range to see first-

hand the capabilities of the Scan Ea-gle UAS scheduled to deploy thissummer aboard one of the CoastGuard's National Security Cutters(NSC).

"A small UAS like the Scan Eaglerepresents an interim solution tomeet a surveillance range extensioncapability requirement for the NSC,"said Michael Tangora, the CoastGuard's deputy chief acquisition of-ficer, who was on hand for the event."The Coast Guard Research and De-velopment Center has been workingwith NSWC Dahlgren and the ScanEagle will give us a good look at whatit can do as a technology demonstra-tion on an NSC."

As the fictional scenario unfold-ed, the distinguished visitors ob-served two suspect vessels rapidlyexchanging contraband in an appar-ently unmonitored river location.

"The Scan Eagle unmanned aeri-al system monitored this exchangewhile tracking the assets until a U.S.Coast Guard craft could apprehend,board and search the insurgents'craft and take suspects into custody,"said Nelson Mills, NSWCDD capabil-ities manager.

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) andU.S. Navy Sailors aboard USS Lake Erie (CG70) successfully conducted a flight test of theAegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) systemMay 9.

This test resulted in the first intercept of ashort-range ballistic missile target over the Pa-cific Ocean by the Navy's newest Missile De-fense interceptor, the Standard Missile - 3(SM-3) Block 1B.

At 8:18 p.m. Hawaiian StandardTime (2:18a.m. EDT May 10) the target missile waslaunched from the Pacific Missile Range Fa-cility, located on Kauai, Hawaii. The targetflew on a northwesterly trajectory towards abroad ocean area of the Pacific Ocean. Follow-ing target launch, Lake Erie detected andtracked the missile with its onboard AN/SPY-1 radar.

The ship, equipped with the second-gen-eration Aegis BMD 4.0.1 weapon system, de-veloped a fire control solution and launchedthe Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IB inter-ceptor.

Lake Erie continued to track the target andsent trajectory information to the SM-3 BlockIB interceptor in-flight. The SM-3 maneu-vered to a point in space, as designated by thefire control solution, and released its kineticwarhead. The kinetic warhead acquired thetarget, diverted into its path, and, using onlythe force of a direct impact, engaged and de-stroyed the threat in a hit-to-kill intercept.

The event, designated FlightTest StandardMissile-16 (FTM-16) Event 2a, was the firstsuccessful live-fire intercept test of the SM-3Block IB interceptor and the second-genera-tion Aegis BMD 4.0.1 weapon system.

Previous successful intercepts were con-ducted with the Aegis BMD 3.6.1 weapon sys-tem and the SM-3 Block IA interceptor, whichare currently operational on U.S. Navy shipsdeployed across the globe.

Aegis BMD 4.0.1 and the SM-3 Block IB in-terceptor improve the system's ability to en-gage increasingly longer range and more so-phisticated ballistic missiles that may belaunched in larger raid sizes. The SM-3 BlockIB interceptor features a two-color infraredseeker, which improves sensitivity for longer-range target acquisition and high-speed pro-cessing for target discrimination. The SM-3Block IB interceptor also features an upgrad-ed onboard signal processor and a more flex-ible throttleable divert and attitude controlsystem to maneuver the IB interceptor to in-tercept.

Initial indications are that all componentsperformed as designed.

Program officials will conduct an extensiveassessment and evaluation of system per-formance based upon telemetry and otherdata obtained during the test.

FTM-16 Event 2a is the 22nd successful in-tercept in 27 flight test attempts for the AegisBMD program. Across all Ballistic Missile De-fense System programs, this is the 53rd suc-cessful hit-to-kill intercept in 67 flight test at-tempts since 2001.

Aegis BMD is the sea-based midcoursecomponent of the MDA's Ballistic Missile De-fense System and is designed to intercept anddestroy short to intermediate-range ballisticmissile threats. The MDA and the U.S. Navycooperatively manage the Aegis BMD Pro-gram.

A Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block1B interceptor is launched from theguided-missile cruiser USS LakeErie (CG 70) during a Missile De-fense Agency test in the PacificOcean. The SM-3 Block 1B success-fully intercepted a short-range ballis-tic missile target that had beenlaunched from the Pacific MissileRange Facility, Barking Sands,Kauai, Hawaii.

"At the scenario's conclusion, they saw thesuccessful recovery of the aircraft with theskyhook," said Lorenz Eber, unmanned sys-tems operation and safety director forNSWCDD. "Our visitors left with an excel-lent understanding of what a Scan EagleSystem can do if launched and operatedfrom a ship."

Coast Guard Assistant Commandant forCapability Rear Adm. Mark Butt - an inter-ested observer at the demonstration - sug-gests that a small UAS like the Scan Eaglecould provide the Coast Guard with a cost-effective capability.

"If we can solve the airspace issues, itlooks like a really interesting way to improvesome capability at a good price," he said."They have discussed its uses on the highseas, but it could also work well in a portsetting."

Meanwhile, a team of four engineerswith NSWCDD's Engagement System De-partment and two Insitu contractors areplanning to deploy for approximately twoweeks this year aboard a National SecurityCutter equipped with the Scan Eagle UAS.

Developed by Insitu Group, a subsidiaryof Boeing, Inc., the Scan Eagle UAS is a run-way independent, long-endurance, un-

manned aerial vehicle system designed toprovide multiple surveillance, reconnais-

sance data, and battlefield damage assess-ment missions.

Integrated with a unique communica-tions relay and optical day-night sensors fora complete battlefield picture, the Scan Ea-gle weighs 40 pounds. Its 10-foot wingspanlifts the four-foot long fuselage where theengine, avionics, GPS and a fully directionalvideo camera are housed.

Scan Eagle provides about 15 hours ofcontinuous day or night surveillance at aheight of about 19,500 feet.

Performing many of the Coast Guardmissions, the National Security Cutters pro-vide a presence in the Pacific Ocean nearCentral and South America to protect theUnited States from illegal drugs and associ-ated transnational crime. NSCs will also pa-trol the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea to pro-tect these fishing grounds from poachers,ensure compliance with U.S. fishing regu-lations and respond to mariners in distress.

NSWC Dahlgren Division's broad spec-trum of unique resources, including work-force, infrastructure, and relationships withindustry, have made it a premier naval sci-entific and engineering institution dedicat-ed to solving a diverse set of complex tech-nical problems confronting the warfighter,whether on land, in the air, on the sea or inspace.

After 42 years of government service,John Garrison recently said goodbye to acareer that not only spanned decades, butwhich saw him work for several com-mands at both Naval Support Facility(NSF) Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head.

Garrison retires as an environmentalscientist assigned to Naval Facilities Com-mand Washington's (NAVFACWASH's)Public Works Department (PWD) at NSFIndian Head, but not before serving atDahlgren's PWD, the Naval Surface War-fare Center Dahlgren Division and that or-ganization's predecessors, the Naval Sur-face Weapons Center and the NavalWeapons Lab.

Garrison doesn't hesitate when askedwhat he'll miss most about his long career."The people," he said. "They always saythe thing you'll miss the most in retire-ment is lunchtime ... getting together andjust eating with people."

Writing a quick autobiography for hisretirement ceremony made Garrisonreminisce about the early years of his ca-reer. "A lot of the people I worked with, es-pecially early on, are no longer with me,"he said.

One of Garrison's colleagues, however,is still very much around. Mike Fitzgeraldand Garrison worked together inDahlgren's photo lab in the early 70s."John and I were the youngest in the crew,so we always got to reload the far-off (orhighest) film cameras on the gun shoots,"said Fitzgerald.

"We also worked in [Pumpkin Neck]some days as well as some of the down-river range stations. John was a pleasureto work with everyday. I hated to see himleave because that left me the only juniorphotographer in the crew at the time."

Garrison's most recent boss spokehighly of the skills and experience hebrought to his organization. "John is an

easy-going guy and likes to stay busy,"said Walt Legg, site manager for theDahlgren Environmental Program."Whenever we had an issue we could askMike 'can you,' and the answer was al-ways yes. He was a real asset."

Garrison began his government serv-ice in the Virginia National Guard, wherehe served as a combat engineer.While stillserving as a Guardsman, Garrison got ajob as a physical science aid at Dahlgren'sphoto lab. A promotion to the job of pho-tographer saw Garrison continue his workcollecting data for various tests and pro-viding photographic support for acci-dents and ceremonies.

In 1974, Garrison was reassigned tothe Chemistry Branch as a physical sci-ence technician, where he operated sci-entific instrumentation for testing for awide variety of research programs. An-other promotion and stint at MaryWash-ington College, which complimented anearlier biology degree from the Universi-ty of Richmond, continued Garrison'sadvancement in the field of explosivesdevelopment.

When the Chemistry Branch becamethe Environmental Sciences Group, Garri-son continued his work with explosivesand other materials, such as armor. Healso measured for traces chemicals result-ing from various waste and industrialprocesses. Garrison also worked on the

development of shipboard safety systems,diving gear and chemical warfare counter-measures for the Navy and Marine Corps.

Garrison co-authored 12 technical re-ports in 12 years for the again-renamedChemical and Environmental SystemsBranch. Soon after the Naval SurfaceWeapons Center became the Naval Sur-face Warfare Center in 1987, he was reas-signed as a physical scientist and servedas section head of the Chemistry Labora-tory. In 1992, he received a letter of appre-ciation for his support of the investigationof the accident onboard the battleshipUSS Iowa.

Garrison managed hazardous materi-als and monitored environmental qualityfor Naval DistrictWashington at Dahlgrenstarting in 2003 and continued in that po-sition with Naval Support Activity SouthPotomac when that command stood upin 2005. In 2011, Garrison was reassignedto NSF Indian Head, where he finished hisfinal seven months of service.

How does one properly commemo-rate such a long and successful career?

"We're going to take a 16-day cruise,"said Garrison. "It starts in Spain and fromthere were going to France, Italy, Greeceand Turkey. By the time we get back ourdaughter will have her third son so I willbe babysitting when I get back."

Garrison plans on attending a men'sprayer breakfast regularly at his church.The former Scoutmaster may also returnto a more active role in the Boy Scouts,though he says he may skip the wintercamping trips.

Sleeping in a little later is also in thecards and Garrison expects his greyhoundBoa to get used to having a later potty timein the mornings.

As is only fitting for a guy that spentmore than four decades in and around themilitary, Garrison offered an acronym forhis post-retirement routine. "ROMEO," hechuckled. "Really old men eating out."

Talking STEM at Post Oak Middle School

U.S. Navy photo by Stacia Courtney

Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) commander, Capt. Michael Smith, speakswith Post Oak Middle School students in Spotsylvania, Va., after presenting a command overview with aspecial emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) applications. Smith's brief to stu-dents and teachers answered questions such as: What is NSWC Dahlgren? What kind of careers areavailable? What kind of people work for NSWC Dahlgren? What do you have to know to become a Navyscientist or engineer? What classes should you take? How can you make a difference? "He got the atten-tion of several of our students and gave them some direction for the future," said Emily Horne, instruction-al technology resource teacher. Smith used National Defense Education Program videos filmed on loca-tion at Dahlgren to give the students a better idea of what it's like to work in a STEM career field engagedwith exciting technologies that protect our nation and warfighters.

For only the second timein the past four years, civil-ians are eligible to lease two-bedroom townhomes onNaval Support FacilityDahlgren.

Lincoln Military Housing(LMH), the managementcompany for family housingunits on the base, announcedlast month that it is now of-fering either six-month or 12-month leases on the town-homes to (in priority order)single Sailors and Sailors ingeo-bachelor status, militaryretirees, Federal Civil Serviceemployees, Federal Civil

Service retirees, and civilians.The last time civilians

were afforded an opportunityto rent on-base housing wasin 2009. At that time, a dozenpeople took up Lincoln Mili-tary Housing's offer andmoved into the townhomes,which were built in 1996.

LMH was selected by theNavy to assume manage-ment of all military familyhousing on Navy installationsthroughout the mid-Atlanticregion in a public-privatepartnership in 2005. WhereasLMH-managed housing isnormally reserved for mili-tary members and their fam-ilies, the company has theoption to open on-base

housing to non-active-dutymilitary renters when hous-ing units are vacant.

Living on base offers anumber of benefits. All utili-ties are included in monthlyrent. Lawn care and land-scaping are provided byLMH. Quality of life facilities,such as the base aquaticscenter, fitness center,Craftech and base theater arejust a short walk from thehousing area.

LMH also sponsors anumber of free programseach month for housing resi-dents and their families to in-clude trips, tickets, contestsand other events.

As an added bonus, chil-

dren in pre-kindergartenthrough eighth grade may at-tend the DoD-run DahlgrenSchool on base. This benefitwould not be extended tomilitary retirees living in basehousing unless they are DoDemployees.

Several units are availablefor occupancy immediately.Interested parties are requiredto undergo a credit check andpay a security deposit. Once atenant's initial six-month or12-month lease expires, thelease automatically becomesmonth-to-month.

Interested parties shouldcontact the Lincoln MilitaryHousing office at (540) 663-2190.

Base Happenings

Our military families make manysacrifices for our nation, and not justwhen a servicemember goes into com-bat. Military families also face chal-lenges when a servicemember receivesorders for a Permanent Change of Sta-tion (PCS) move to another base, andthe family has to decide whether to goalong or live apart. Unfortunately, formany military families, this challengehas become more difficult in the wake ofthe housing market downturn. This isbecause like other Americans, manymilitary homeowners are currently un-derwater on their mortgage. Becausetheir home's value has decreased sincethey purchased it, these servicemem-bers may not be able to sell their homeat a price that will pay off their mortgage,and they may not be able to rent outtheir home at a price that will cover theirmonthly mortgage payments. Thesemilitary homeowners also may get alower housing allowance at their newduty station, and may face additionalloss of income while their spouse looksfor a new job. Suddenly, military home-owners who have been faithfully payingtheir mortgage on time face a real risk offalling behind.

In the last few weeks, Treasury andthe Office of Servicemember Affairs atthe Consumer Financial Protection Bu-reau (CFPB) have worked together to

address this issue. And, as a result,Treas-ury is making important changes to itsHome Affordable Modification Program(HAMP) that will provide more oppor-tunities for mortgage assistance to mili-tary homeowners.

Many underwater military home-owners have looked for help from mort-gage assistance programs to no avail. Ifthey move, they may be told that theyare not eligible to modify the mortgageon their home because it's no longertheir primary residence. And they maynot qualify for assistance because theyare still current on their mortgage ortheir income has not changed, so theyare not considered to have a "verifiablefinancial hardship," despite the fact thatthey now have to pay for housing in twolocations. The financial difficulties arestressful enough, but for military home-owners, becoming delinquent on theirmortgage can also put their securityclearance at risk. If they show a negativechange to their credit rating, it not onlyhurts their ability to get credit, but canactually cause them to lose the securityclearance they must have to do their job.

Under recently announced changesto HAMP, which will go into effect June1, military homeowners and other fam-ilies who are permanently displaced bya job-related move may still qualify asowner-occupants, which means they

may still qualify for a HAMP mortgagemodification. The new criteria statesthat a borrower may qualify if he or she:

* Is displaced due to an out-of-areajob transfer such as PCS orders and wasoccupying the home as a principal resi-dence immediately prior to the dis-placement;

* Intends to return to the home atsome point in the future; and

* Does not own any other single-family real estate.

Military and other families who doown other residential properties maystill qualify for a HAMP modification un-der expanded opportunities availablefor rental properties announced byTreasury in January.They also may qual-ify for a short sale through Treasury'sHome Affordable Foreclosure Alterna-tives Program (HAFA).

Our servicemembers deserve our fullsupport. We don't want any member ofour military to be forced by financialchallenges to leave their family behind.This would be a heartbreaking decisionfor any family, but it's especially toughfor military families, who often face longperiods of separation during deploy-ment. These changes to HAMP are oneway Treasury and the CFPB are workingtogether to support military families andthe many other hardworking familiesstruggling to maintain homeownership.
