Published: December 05, 2010

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. – —

Students from area high schools converged on the pool at the Manassas Park Community Center for the SeaPerch Challenge Friday and brought their underwater robots along.

Denyse Carroll, Prince William County regional STEM — or Science Technology Engineering and Math coordinator — said the SeaPerch program had its origins as collaboration between the Office of Naval Research, the Society of Naval and Marine Engineers and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The program is designed to teach the students teamwork, as well as engineering and science, and includes classroom work on research papers, innovative robot design, note taking and logo design.

“We’re hoping that we’re creating the next set of engineers or inspiring kids to think about a career that might be something they weren’t aware of before,” Carroll said.

In the pool students had to prove their robots’ maneuverability, ability to pick up weighted rings and to work together with other teams in a relay, Carroll said.

This was the fourth year Prince William County students participated in the SeaPerch Challenge and the county has been chosen to host the nationals in 2012, Carroll said.

Jake Dement of Hylton High School, said he enjoyed the challenge

“I’ve never been to one of these before. It’s a great learning experience,” the 15-year-old said.

Brandyn Frazier of Stonewall Jackson High School said he appreciated the teachers helping out with the robotics and learned to work with others.

“I’m learning that teamwork is definitely important in SeaPerch,” the 17-year-old Frazier said. “It’s really hard to build one of these robots. It’s not as easy as it looks.”

“The teachers are really great for helping us do this,” Frazier said. “I’m really thankful that there’s teachers that care about us and that want to do stuff like this for us.”

Stonewall Jackson High School students Jasmine Glover and Carmen Quinteros also learned a lot at the challenge.

“I’ve never done this before. It’s fun. I’m learning a bunch about robots,” the 17-year-old Glover said.

Brian Eichas, an engineering teacher at Osbourn Park High School, said he hoped the exercise taught the students to think.

“The biggest thing is problem solving. We hope they get a better understanding of engineering, and math and science skill specifically,” he said.

Roughly 600 students on 150 teams from Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park, along with Seton Senior High School, accepted the challenge, Carroll said.

“The soldier who fights to death never dies, but the soldier who fights for existence never truly exists.”

– Admiral Yi Sun Shin

(Yi Sun-sin (March 8, 1545 – November 19, 1598), was a famous Korean naval commander. As the Lord High Admiral of the Korean fleet under the Choson Dynasty, Yi Sun-sin led the fight against the Japanese during their invasion of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />Korea in 1592. He turned back the enemy fleet of Japanese invaders with his innovative turtle ships, and became to many Koreans a national hero. He was shot by a stray bullet in the final battle at Noryang in November 1598, and died. He was posthumously given the title Chungmugong (Duke of Loyalty and Arts of Chivalry).)

*** From Larry Bearfield, proprietor of Fern’s Country Store in Carlisle, Mass, and creator of the OpSki program for the military community (excerpted from Fern’s Pickle Barrel E-News):

Last weekend, Robin and I took time to attend a Military ski event out in the Berkshires. Called Sno!!!Jam, it's a weekend for Military personnel that we were involved with in a past life when we invented a program called Operation Ski & Snowboard (OpSki). essentially we worked with ski resorts worldwide to develop lift ticket and lodging discounts for qualified military personnel – a small market of about 11 million. Weekend on-mountain fun, family events at resorts like Copper Mountain, Squaw, Steamboat, Attitash, Berkshire East were part of the offerings. It was a phenomenal program. All privately run – which astounded The Pentagon when we were called to Washington to help them understand how we could develop a program with no government help. Then the dot-com bust hit before we were able to finally ink the big deal. Timing's everything in life.

Meanwhile, because of the exposure, ski resorts worldwide continue to offer the Military Discounts we helped establish. That's fulfilling. And on-mountain events like Sno!!!Jam here and the USAF Academy's SnoFest at Keystone continue.

We went to the event out in the Berkshires because of the many lasting friendships we made. It's not about the skiing. Primarily a US Navy event, other services have attended, including the Air National Guard Unit that were part of the rescue in The Perfect Storm as well as Army, Marine and Coast Guard personnel. “Locals” like USS Constitution crew members attend as well as folks who flew in from as far away as San Diego! What was especially fun was that we had several Fernites From Afah Chapter Presidents in attendance. We collected on the beers they owed us for their appointments.

But here's the point of all of this. Regardless of your political persuasion, when you spend time with these men & women you can't help but be inspired by their zest for life, positive can-do attitude, their unwavering commitment to what they do and the intense loyalty they hold in their hearts for their friends. We all wish that we didn't have a need for a military force but that's a fantasy. And when we need them – these are the professionals that I want on my side. We all have our daily grind – but you have to admire what they volunteer to do.

(Fern’s is the official country store of the JOTW network. Stop in and tell them you heard about Fern’s from JOTW and get a free cup of coffee! Larry, I’m going to post this in the newsletter.)

Hey Ned,

I'd be happy to share the editorial from our recent Ferns Country Store Pickle Barrel E-News with your loyal readers! However, YOUR readers should know that when we developed OpSki you were active duty at the time and you were instrumental in helping us launch the program. It was pretty 'out-of-the-box' for most of the military folks we were trying to work with. Probably due to the fact that it was one of the first times all branches were brought together in a cooperative effort. But you helped penetrate some of the key naysayers which paved the way for us. And when you were CO of the Naval Media Center your intro of us to the Navy Marine Corps News staff resulted in the first and only on-mountian, slope side production of the weekly news. Operation Ski & Snowboard was, without question, a tremendous success with thousands of military personnel and their families were able to enjoy the benefits of our OpSki program – – without costing the taxpayers one dime! Ultimately, when the dot-com bust hit, we were no longer able to sustain the program. And unfortunately, no one was willing to pick it up to continue it.

By the way, your readers are also welcome to subscribe for our free Pickle Barrel e-news:

14.) Anti-Tamper Torpedo Systems Engineer, Sabre Systems, Inc., KEYPORT, WA

Founded in 1989, Sabre Systems, Inc. is a privately-held company headquartered in Warminster, PA with offices nationwide. Sabre is a quality-driven, professional services company that provides worldwide technology, scientific, management, and administrative services to government and commercial clients. Sabre Systems, Inc. is currently recruiting for an Anti-Tamper Torpedo Systems Engineer to work in Keyport, WA.

Anti-tamper (AT) is a systems engineering approach to protecting the military’s critical technology from exploitation by assessing and identifying a system’s advanced technologies, developing engineering methods to protect the technology from unauthorized access or reverse engineering, and testing the methods of protection.

AT encompasses the systems engineering activities intended to prevent and/or delay exploitation of critical technologies in U.S. weapon systems. These activities involve the entire life-cycle of systems acquisition, including research, design, development, implementation, and testing of AT measures. Properly employed, AT will add longevity to a critical technology by deterring efforts to reverse-engineer, exploit, or develop countermeasures against a system or system component. AT is not intended to completely defeat such hostile attempts, but it should discourage exploitation or reverse-engineering or make such efforts so time-consuming, difficult, and expensive that even if successful, a critical technology will have been replaced by its next-generation version. AT implementation will be evaluated during the program’s developmental and operational testing through expert assessment.

Job Description:

•As related to the design/redesign of submarine, surface ship, and air-launched torpedo components, subsystems and systems, provide systems engineering support that includes the implementation of AT planning and execution in the design process to ensure compliance with regulations, and other AT guidance, as applicable. Guide programs through the AT process. Support government program offices in establishing Program Protection Integrated Product Teams (IPT) and lead IPTs, if required. Gain an understanding of Critical Program Information (CPI) identification in order to identify CPI and provide programs with CPI training and support to ensure correct identification and documentation of CPI.

•Review, develop and coordinate AT documents including Program Protection Plans (PPPs) and all appendices. Attend and participate in acquisition program meetings, IPTs, technical interchanges, planning conferences, and various acquisition program protection planning working group meetings. Interface with program managers, design engineers, contractors and others in Government program offices and contractor offices. Provide reports including significant discussion, action item assignments, and recommendations as appropriate.

•Assess and evaluate mitigation efforts for system security threats and risks throughout the program life cycle for torpedo systems. Validate system security requirements definition and analysis. Assess security designs in hardware, software, data, and procedures. Analyze AT management and design implementation information and provide recommendations that are cost-effective alternatives and countermeasures to protect CPI and Critical System Resources. Work closely with government customers in the design of torpedo components, subsystems and systems to effectively and efficiently implement AT designs. Analyze computer-based system designs to determine potential penetration points. Evaluate new AT technologies and other information protection devices.

•Candidate will be expected to travel to Newport, RI, and to Crane, IN.

Job Requirements:

•Minimum of a Bachelor's Degree or equivalent, and at least 15 years in torpedo-related design and systems engineering experience.

•Individual must be able to interact successfully with personnel at all levels from all branches of military, government civilians, contractors and engineers.

•Direct experience interfacing with NAVSEA/NUWC technical and management personnel is highly desirable.

•Broad knowledge of the AT and technology protection field is desired. Sabre’s customer will provide a limited period of on-the-job training in AT application and implementation within their working environment on existing programs.

•Must have knowledge of system engineering processes as related to torpedoes

•Experience with weapon system evaluation and analysis

•Understanding of the DoD acquisition and gate process; and understanding of the Navy organization

•Knowledge of software and hardware development and design processes

•Demonstrated ability to prepare highly professional technical/engineering reports and give presentations

•Ability to plan and implement tasks independently

•Willing to travel to Washington, DC, other government facilities, and to prime contractors’ facilities at various locations.

•

•Travel to CRANE, NSWC facilities in IN will be expected.
