There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Dr. Matthew Bays of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) located in Panama City, FL, will be running two information sessions on opportunities for students. Dr. Bays is the Autonomy Group Lead in the Automation & Dynamics branch of the Science & Technology Department, and point of contact for the Georgia Tech Naval Engineering Education Consortium project being run within the GT Aerospace Department. There will be an ~30 minute presentation to provide an overview of NSWC PCD, the Science and Technology Department, and opportunities for students. He will then answer any questions and talk to students in a more informal setting. Students graduating in Fall 2016 or Spring 2017 are encouraged to bring resumes.
About NSWC PCD
The mission of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division is to conduct Research, Development, Test, Evaluation, and Life Cycle Sustainment work within our assigned mission areas that enable the Navy to remain a Global Force for Good. These mission areas include Mine Warfare, Naval Special Warfare Systems, Diving & Life Support Systems, Amphibious/Expeditionary Maneuver, Warfare Systems, and other missions that occur primarily in coastal (littoral) regions. Our goal is to rapidly deliver Littoral Warfare and Coastal Defense capability to the warfighter through technical rigor, accountable leadership, and stakeholder partnerships.
NSWC PCD is part of the Naval Sea Systems Command and Warfare Center Enterprise. The largest of the Navy's five systems commands, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) engineers build and support America's Fleet of ships and combat systems. Accounting for nearly one-fifth of the Navy's budget, NAVSEA manages more than 150 acquisition programs and has more than 53,000 civilian and military employees at 33 activities in 16 states.
NAVSEA's Warfare Center Enterprise is comprised of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC). With seven Surface Warfare and two Undersea Warfare sites across the United States, the Warfare Centers supply the technical operations, people, technology, engineering services and products needed to equip and support the fleet and meet the warfighters' needs. The Warfare Centers are the Navy's principal research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) assessment activity for surface ship and submarine systems and subsystems. In addition, the Warfare Centers provide depot maintenance and in-service engineering support to ensure the systems fielded today perform consistently and reliably in the future
