05:52.530 --> 05:55.490 your loved one has made on the Department of the Navy, 05:55.490 --> 05:59.270 our sailors, our Marines, and their families 05:59.270 --> 06:02.900 join me in a round of applause as an offer of our thanks 06:02.900 --> 06:05.299 to the families of today's awardees. 06:05.299 --> 06:07.549 (applause) 06:14.170 --> 06:16.010 I've reviewed the award packages, 06:16.010 --> 06:18.700 and each has one thing in common. 06:18.700 --> 06:21.800 Focus on the sailors and Marines that are currently serving, 06:21.800 --> 06:26.090 or will serve in the future, and this is a key point, 06:26.090 --> 06:28.440 because today, like most days, 06:28.440 --> 06:31.520 nearly half of our Navy's fleet is underway. 06:31.520 --> 06:34.990 Our sailors and Marines operate continuously 06:34.990 --> 06:39.670 on every continent, every ocean, every sea, and every inlet. 06:39.670 --> 06:42.150 They operate on the sea, under the sea, 06:42.150 --> 06:45.610 in the air, in space, on every terrain, 06:45.610 --> 06:48.063 and in every environment known to man. 06:48.960 --> 06:52.380 Every day we are bombarded with images that remind us 06:52.380 --> 06:55.410 that we are in a complex security environment. 06:55.410 --> 06:58.620 Security issues abound with nation-state 06:58.620 --> 07:00.610 and non-state actors. 07:00.610 --> 07:02.470 We have to discover a solution 07:02.470 --> 07:05.410 to today's security challenges now, 07:05.410 --> 07:08.300 and be ready to address future challenges 07:08.300 --> 07:11.770 all at unprecedented speed and lower cost. 07:11.770 --> 07:14.200 This is why the Department of the Navy relies 07:14.200 --> 07:16.960 on our scientists and engineers. 07:16.960 --> 07:20.900 The recipients before you represent less than 1% 07:20.900 --> 07:23.560 of the more than 30,000 professionals 07:23.560 --> 07:26.320 who comprise the Department of the Navy's research 07:26.320 --> 07:28.650 and engineering community. 07:28.650 --> 07:32.210 Our scientists and engineers devote countless hours 07:32.210 --> 07:36.910 to take a vision from an idea to a war fighter capability. 07:36.910 --> 07:39.890 They press ahead when things don't turn out as planned, 07:39.890 --> 07:42.730 and when things go well, they keep pressing 07:42.730 --> 07:44.660 to make it even better. 07:44.660 --> 07:47.860 It is this drive that has seen the Department of the Navy 07:47.860 --> 07:50.800 transition from wooden ships to iron-clad, 07:50.800 --> 07:55.120 steam to gas turbine, to nuclear power, and beyond. 07:55.120 --> 07:57.960 Our mission is to provide systems to the men and women 07:57.960 --> 08:00.700 of the Navy and Marine Corps that support their missions 08:00.700 --> 08:05.250 and give them a technological edge over our adversaries. 08:05.250 --> 08:07.100 Our mission depends on the scientist 08:07.100 --> 08:08.840 and engineers in this room, 08:08.840 --> 08:10.660 and throughout the naval research, 08:10.660 --> 08:12.683 and development, and establishment. 08:13.620 --> 08:15.540 You provide the foundation 08:15.540 --> 08:18.400 for our technological superiority. 08:18.400 --> 08:21.587 Albert Einstein once said, "The most important thing 08:21.587 --> 08:23.657 "is to not stop questioning. 08:23.657 --> 08:27.590 "Curiosity has its own reason for existence." 08:27.590 --> 08:30.450 And questioning and curiosity are core 08:30.450 --> 08:33.670 to the achievements of today's award recipients, 08:33.670 --> 08:35.610 and the thousands of naval scientists, 08:35.610 --> 08:39.480 engineers and technicians dedicated to discover, 08:39.480 --> 08:43.500 develop, transition and field technologically superior 08:43.500 --> 08:46.490 naval war fighting capabilities. 08:46.490 --> 08:50.750 So, today, we celebrate the accomplishments from 2018. 08:50.750 --> 08:53.300 Those designed to make the war fighter safer, 08:53.300 --> 08:56.080 more connected, more resilient. 08:56.080 --> 08:58.940 These scientists and engineers have developed ways 08:58.940 --> 09:01.860 to make our systems and platforms more lethal, 09:01.860 --> 09:05.140 more reliable, and more sustainable.

09:16.740 --> 09:19.010 These advances make a positive difference 09:19.010 --> 09:20.900 in every community. 09:20.900 --> 09:24.740 You will hear about the development of more lethal warheads, 09:24.740 --> 09:27.140 molecular characterization of chemicals 09:27.140 --> 09:31.200 potentially causing hypoxia in our pilots, 09:31.200 --> 09:34.120 development of hyper-velocity projectiles, 09:34.120 --> 09:36.920 and development of a high energy laser system 09:36.920 --> 09:39.060 to counter small targets. 09:39.060 --> 09:41.810 Other accomplishments focused on fielding capability 09:41.810 --> 09:43.860 to the war fighter faster, 09:43.860 --> 09:46.500 including the deployment of a virtual twin 09:46.500 --> 09:49.710 of our Aegis Combat System, and implementation 09:49.710 --> 09:52.430 of a developmental operations environment 09:52.430 --> 09:55.370 for our consolidated afloat network. 09:55.370 --> 09:57.230 In addition, you'll hear about efforts 09:57.230 --> 09:59.920 to reduce the cost of our platforms, 09:59.920 --> 10:03.030 such as the use of an additive manufacturing 10:03.030 --> 10:07.920 to produce a submarine mast at 1/8 of the current cost. 10:07.920 --> 10:11.530 Our scientists and engineers are our nation's best. 10:11.530 --> 10:13.400 They are on the cutting edge, 10:13.400 --> 10:17.570 working with microwave photonics, metamaterials, 10:17.570 --> 10:21.560 imaging sensors, networks, and so much more. 10:21.560 --> 10:24.390 I'll admit, as you listen to the award citations, 10:24.390 --> 10:27.000 you will hear a lot of complicated descriptions 10:27.000 --> 10:30.000 of various technologies and capabilities. 10:30.000 --> 10:33.420 Yes, the work is as complex as it sounds. 10:33.420 --> 10:38.000 This is not simple stuff, but these are not simple times, 10:38.000 --> 10:40.580 and to the young folks in the audience today, 10:40.580 --> 10:42.560 what we do to support our war fighter 10:42.560 --> 10:45.080 is challenging and rewarding. 10:45.080 --> 10:47.930 I hope you'll be as excited about the work of your mom, 10:47.930 --> 10:50.920 dad, aunt, uncle, brother or sister, 10:50.920 -->

throughout my career. 30:36.470 --> 30:39.800 My initial interaction was as a young faculty member 30:39.800 --> 30:43.010 with research projects and digital signal processing. 30:43.010 --> 30:44.660 And by the way, I heard a lot of things today 30:44.660 --> 30:47.320 that kinda edged on digital signal processing, 30:47.320 --> 30:50.060 which was fun, and this was funded by ONR, 30:50.060 --> 30:54.280 my first funded project was an OR project. 30:54.280 --> 30:56.450 A few years later, I was invited to join 30:56.450 --> 30:59.700 the Naval Research Advisory Committee, NRAC. 30:59.700 --> 31:02.510 This small committee of retired flag officers, 31:02.510 --> 31:05.280 leaders from industry and academics 31:05.280 --> 31:07.250 worked with the chief of naval research 31:07.250 --> 31:09.040 and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy 31:09.040 --> 31:12.040 for Research, Development and Acquisition 31:12.040 --> 31:14.640 to do technical studies in areas of interest 31:14.640 --> 31:17.150 to the Navy and the Marine Corps. 31:17.150 --> 31:19.970 Most of the work on these studies was done in the summers 31:19.970 --> 31:21.810 and involved visiting many of the Navy's 31:21.810 --> 31:26.420 research facilities, warfare centers, and test facilities. 31:26.420 --> 31:29.140 I have fond memories, and more than a good stories 31:29.140 --> 31:31.480 from those from the time that I spent 31:31.480 --> 31:34.750 at places like China Lake, San Diego, 31:34.750 --> 31:38.360 Whidbey Island, and Yuma Proving Grounds. 31:38.360 --> 31:40.820 I saw first hand the outstanding work 31:40.820 --> 31:43.750 that was being done by engineers and scientists 31:43.750 --> 31:46.290 to bring innovative ideas to life, 31:46.290 --> 31:49.060 to give the war fighters the capabilities they need 31:49.060 --> 31:52.120 to defend this country through deterrence, 31:52.120 --> 31:55.800 defense, and when needed, offense. 31:55.800 --> 31:59.130 Your efforts improve existing systems, 31:59.130 --> 32:01.970 development and test new systems, 32:01.970 --> 32:04.260 and bring state-of-the-art capabilities 32:04.260 --> 32:06.203 to the Navy and the Marine Corps. 32:07.220 --> 32:09.840 The success of these systems is often shared 32:09.840 --> 32:13.590 by the many people taking part in taking an innovation 32:13.590 --> 32:16.560 from an idea all the way through to final fielding 32:16.560 --> 32:19.420 of a platform or weapons system. 32:19.420 --> 32:23.600 As a result, you seldom get the recognition you earn, 32:23.600 --> 32:25.960 but this award gives the Department of the Navy 32:25.960 --> 32:30.420 the opportunity to hold a very competitive process 32:30.420 --> 32:34.180 across all of the Navy and Marine Corps research programs, 32:34.180 --> 32:36.880 and then to recognize the best of the best, 32:36.880 --> 32:39.550 and that is what you represent today. 32:39.550 --> 32:41.760 So, we say thank you for your work 32:41.760 --> 32:45.223 that has such an important impact on national security. 32:46.480 --> 32:48.780 The other topic I want to discuss with you, 32:48.780 --> 32:52.110 and really with everyone here today is my concern 32:52.110 --> 32:55.370 over the future of science and engineering in our country, 32:55.370 --> 32:58.420 and especially in the Department of the Navy. 32:58.420 --> 33:01.160 Who are gonna be these top engineers and scientists 33:01.160 --> 33:05.850 in five years, 10 years, 15 years from now? 33:05.850 --> 33:08.670 Ensuring that the next generation of award winners 33:08.670 --> 33:13.270 are inline means we must excite and motivate young people 33:13.270 --> 33:16.030 to consider careers as oceanographers, 33:16.030 --> 33:18.830 aerospace engineers, computer scientists, 33:18.830 --> 33:23.830 biologists, physicists, structural engineers, and so on. 33:23.940 --> 33:26.453 Now, this is a task we can all help with. 33:27.630 --> 33:29.510 So, here's some ideas. 33:29.510 --> 33:33.540 So, to the award winners, go talk to your local schools 33:33.540 --> 33:35.383 about what you can do. 33:35.383 --> 33:37.250 The project that brought you here, 33:37.250 --> 33:39.660 there's ways to take that to the level. 33:39.660 --> 33:43.560 You could talk to grade school, middle school, high schools. 33:43.560 --> 33:46.560 Go share with them the enthusiasm and passion 33:46.560 --> 33:49.090 that you have not only about your project, 33:49.090 --> 33:51.730 but about national security. 33:51.730 --> 33:54.030 Convince your supervisor to let you take on 33:54.030 --> 33:57.140 a couple of high school interns each summer. 33:57.140 --> 34:00.600 You would be amazed at how much a summer internship 34:00.600 --> 34:04.010 can affect a young person, and often encourage them 34:04.010 --> 34:06.720 to go major in something very much close 34:06.720 --> 34:09.530 to what their internship was. 34:09.530 --> 34:11.770 Now, I know at labs, everybody's stressed 34:11.770 --> 34:15.280 for funds these days, but often a local company 34:15.280 --> 34:18.050 will support the student, and they'll take care 34:18.050 --> 34:21.230 of paying the student, but have them work with you. 34:21.230 --> 34:23.140 So, think of some creative ways, 34:23.140 --> 34:26.360 but the more you can get young people in your labs 34:26.360 --> 34:28.650 and working with you, you will be amazed 34:28.650 --> 34:31.120 at the impact that has. 34:31.120 --> 34:34.420 Now, to the parents and grandparents out there. 34:34.420 --> 34:36.680 Make sure your children and grandchildren 34:36.680 --> 34:39.040 are exposed to the many possible areas 34:39.040 --> 34:42.360 that might help them consider other careers. 34:42.360 --> 34:45.310 Take them to observatories, aquariums, 34:45.310 --> 34:47.690 sign them up for computer camps, 34:47.690 --> 34:51.500 volunteer in their local school robotics clubs. 34:51.500 --> 34:53.593 Lots of things that we can all do. 34:54.910 --> 34:56.620 And then the young people, and I do see 34:56.620 --> 34:57.910 some young people out there, 34:57.910 --> 35:00.560 so this is focused on you. (laughs) 35:00.560 --> 35:03.930 Ask your moms and dads about their jobs. 35:03.930 --> 35:05.710 They would be delighted to tell you more 35:05.710 --> 35:08.750 about what they do, and maybe even show you around 35:08.750 --> 35:11.000 in their labs in most cases. 35:11.000 --> 35:12.760 You would be surprised. 35:12.760 --> 35:16.040 My youngest grandson is a real fan of Star Wars, 35:16.040 --> 35:18.100 much like his grandmother (laughs), 35:18.100 --> 35:21.370 and he was very surprised to find out 35:21.370 --> 35:23.440 that his grandfather, my husband, 35:23.440 --> 35:26.510 spent most of his career working on laser weapons. 35:26.510 --> 35:28.370 First, as an Air Force officer, 35:28.370 --> 35:31.130 and then later as a civilian in industry. 35:31.130 --> 35:33.180 So, all of a sudden, here was somebody 35:33.180 --> 35:35.683 he could now talk about laser weapons with. 35:37.160 --> 35:38.910 Now, to the senior leadership, 35:38.910 --> 35:41.703 and this is both civilian and military, 35:42.560 --> 35:45.610 recognize the local scientists and engineers 35:45.610 --> 35:47.060 when you travel. 35:47.060 --> 35:49.860 Ask your aides to find out ahead of time 35:49.860 --> 35:51.860 what's gone on in those locations, 35:51.860 --> 35:56.060 and make that something you announce in the presentations. 35:56.060 --> 35:58.460 Talk about the role that these people have played 35:58.460 --> 36:00.730 and some of the technical capabilities 36:00.730 --> 36:03.730 of our men and women in the Navy and Marine Corps. 36:03.730 --> 36:05.510 And you know those interns? 36:05.510 --> 36:07.490 If you could find just a little bit of money 36:07.490 --> 36:10.893 for some interns, again, great impact. 36:11.920 --> 36:14.280 And then finally, to those of you involved 36:14.280 --> 36:17.360 in hiring full-time engineers and scientists, 36:17.360 --> 36:19.230 and I know you're out there (laughs), 36:19.230 --> 36:22.810 remember that the innovation and creativity 36:22.810 --> 36:25.790 that has been so important in the past, 36:25.790 --> 36:29.290 technological advantages in national security, 36:29.290 --> 36:31.640 is even more important today. 36:31.640 --> 36:34.470 When things can be developed so much quicker 36:34.470 --> 36:36.590 with access to the internet, 36:36.590 --> 36:39.790 and components, and computer apps. 36:39.790 --> 36:42.700 So, how do you hire new members of your research teams 36:42.700 --> 36:46.320 to increase innovation and creativity? 36:46.320 --> 36:47.930 Now, I know you've got a lot of rules, 36:47.930 --> 36:51.200 but you still have some flexibility to work within, 36:51.200 --> 36:54.460 and the way you increase innovation and creativity 36:54.460 --> 36:57.480 is through adding diversity to your team. 36:57.480 --> 37:00.430 And diversity is in all kinds of areas. 37:00.430 --> 37:02.550 It's educational diversity. 37:02.550 --> 37:05.090 Don't hire from just one or two schools. 37:05.090 --> 37:09.430 Look broadly across universities across this country. 37:09.430 --> 37:12.350 Ethnic diversity, age diversity, 37:12.350 --> 37:15.650 gender diversity, geographical diversity, 37:15.650 --> 37:17.710 and it just goes on and on. 37:17.710 --> 37:22.090 The broader the experience, education and background 37:22.090 --> 37:26.160 that you bring to a team working on a research problem, 37:26.160 --> 37:28.660 the more likely you are to have innovative 37:28.660 --> 37:31.690 and creative ideas from that team, 37:31.690 --> 37:36.130 as long as you create an environment that values diversity. 37:36.130 --> 37:38.770 For example, it used to be that the younger, 37:38.770 --> 37:41.900 the newer members of a team were mainly there to listen, 37:41.900 --> 37:45.830 and to learn, and do whatever support work was needed. 37:45.830 --> 37:50.620 In today's research teams, expect every member of the team 37:50.620 --> 37:54.160 to contribute ideas based on their experiences, 37:54.160 --> 37:56.440 background, and education. 37:56.440 --> 37:59.070 Mentor them, provide role models, 37:59.070 --> 38:01.773 and then expect contributions from them. 38:03.340 --> 38:07.290 So, in closing, we go back to these award winners. 38:07.290 --> 38:10.590 I am so pleased to congratulate you today, 38:10.590 --> 38:14.160 and really tell you how proud I am of this honor. 38:14.160 --> 38:16.390 I hope that everyone in this audience 38:16.390 --> 38:17.990 will help encourage young people 38:17.990 --> 38:20.860 to consider careers in science, technology, 38:20.860 --> 38:24.500 engineering and mathematics, STEM careers, 38:24.500 --> 38:27.280 so that our country can continue to provide 38:27.280 --> 38:29.520 the technical edge that you've seen 38:29.520 --> 38:31.930 this team is gonna bring for us. 38:31.930 --> 38:33.258 Thank you very much. 38:33.258 --> 38:35.508 (applause) 38:44.120 --> 38:45.560 - Thank you, Dr. Etter. 38:45.560 --> 38:46.910 Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes 38:46.910 --> 38:49.720 the awards presentation part of the ceremony. 38:49.720 --> 38:51.840 The photographer will be available near the stage area 38:51.840 --> 38:55.050 for additional family and command photos. 38:55.050 --> 38:57.420 You'll sure be invited to the, 38:57.420 --> 38:59.010 back in the auditorium area there in the hallway 38:59.010 --> 39:01.360 for some refreshments just outside. 39:01.360 --> 39:03.860 But first, please stand for the departure 39:03.860 --> 39:04.960 of the official party.
