Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD)'s 'Genius Bar' is a monumental improvement to getting our people the technology and tools they need to do their jobs faster and more efficiently. #GetReal #GetBetter
💻Managing the IT hardware and software logistics for thousands of employees across a billion-dollar enterprise is no easy feat. ⌨️Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Commander Vice Adm. Carl Chebi got an up-close look at how #NAWCAD makes it happen near its headquarters at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. 📱”Way impressive, outcome focused, and customer oriented," is how he described the warfare center's approach, largely modeled after brick-and-mortar storefronts by major tech hardware companies and cell carriers. 🤝Here's a behind-the-scenes look at one of the first stops new employees make for productive work on day one. #CultureofExcellence #IAmNavalAviation #LoveWhereYouWork #AroundtheCommand

Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Two One (HX-21) MH-60R/S Project Officer Lt. Bryan "T-Ball" Wills tests a prototype vibration attenuating seat that was designed to reduce how much vibrational energy is absorbed by pilots. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division’s Human Systems Engineering Department and NAVAIR’s Aircrew Systems program office (PMA-202) are currently conducting fit and equipment checks with HX-21 artisans and crew over the next couple of weeks at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. The data will be used to compare the in-seat vibration isolation system’s performance with the baseline seat. Designed and developed by InnoVital Systems using Small Business Innovation Research funds, the technology is expected to reduce fatigue and improve pilot endurance.

#OTD in 1942: The first successful launch of a sonobuoy from an aircraft was made from a U.S. Army B-18 bomber. By the end of October, the procurement of the expendable radio sonobuoy had been initiated when the Bureau of Ships ordered 1,000 sonobuoys and 100 associated receivers. Subsequently, the #Army Air Corps ordered 6,410 of the AN/CRT-1 sonobuoys, while the #Navy ordered 1,800 units. By 1943, full scale production had commenced in time for Allied Hunter-Killer groups to make full use of sonobuoys in the Battle of the Atlantic. Today, our Air Anti-Submarine Warfare Systems Program Office (PMA-264) plays a critical role in developing, acquiring and sustaining airborne ASW systems and sensor requirements across the #Navy, #MarineCorps and Allied Anti-Submarine Warfare enterprise.

#NAVAIR Security Cooperation Office Junior Development Program celebrates its ninth year on #NationalInternsDay! Today, #Interns in the program received a briefing from our Aircrew Systems Program Office, toured a KC-130T with VX-20, and got up close and personal with an EA-18G Growler courtesy of VX-23. The program gives college students a deeper understanding of where their passions lie. “My experience this summer has been fantastic,” said first year intern Michael Gordon. “Through this program I have learned extensively about international programs and worked with incredible people wo make it all possible.”

The training for operators and maintainers of the Navy’s E-6B Mercury fleet has launched into the 21st century thanks to new virtual 3D training systems provided by NAVAIR’s Airborne Strategic Command, Control and Communications Program Office (PMA-271), the Naval Aviation Training Systems and Ranges Program Office (PMA-205), the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training and the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD). They include the new Multi-Purpose Reconfigurable Training System (MRTS) 3D Panel Trainers, interactive simulators that model and provide troubleshooting scenarios for various aircraft systems. The MRTS Maintenance Trainers and Virtual Checklist Trainers improve training, reduce risk and save money by providing hands-on instruction in a classroom rather than on the aircraft. They allow maintainers and operators to train for the mission, even when fleet aircraft are unavailable due to mission requirements. Maintenance is critical to sustaining the 37-year-old E-6 fleet, which flies missions critical to our nation’s nuclear deterrence. Better training = improved capabilities.
