WEBVTT 00:12.040 --> 00:14.151 Welcome to this brief introduction to 00:14.151 --> 00:16.096 the Naval Surface Warfare Center , 00:16.096 --> 00:18.280 Crane division known as NSW See Crane 00:18.820 --> 00:21.440 Swc . Crane is best described as a Navy 00:21.440 --> 00:23.620 federal laboratory with a reputation 00:23.620 --> 00:25.960 for national technical leadership and a 00:25.960 --> 00:27.930 navy lab that works directly with 00:27.930 --> 00:30.310 warfighters to create comprehensive , 00:30.320 --> 00:32.420 innovative solutions at the speed of 00:32.420 --> 00:35.010 relevance that describes the NSW see 00:35.010 --> 00:37.340 Crane of today . But the organization 00:37.340 --> 00:39.940 began as an ammunition depot over 75 00:39.940 --> 00:41.940 years ago before becoming a Premier 00:41.940 --> 00:44.850 Navy lab in the 21st century . To put 00:44.850 --> 00:47.017 things in context , let's start at the 00:47.017 --> 00:50.280 beginning . Imagine . It's late 1941 . 00:50.290 --> 00:52.512 In the United States , the average cost 00:52.512 --> 00:55.500 of a new home is just over $4,000 . A 00:55.500 --> 00:58.990 new car costs $850 and the Glenn Miller 00:58.990 --> 01:01.101 band's hit song , string of Pearls is 01:01.101 --> 01:03.850 playing on radios everywhere . War is 01:03.850 --> 01:05.760 escalating in europe as Germany 01:05.760 --> 01:08.210 recently attacked the soviet Union in 01:08.210 --> 01:10.043 the pacific japanese and U . S . 01:10.043 --> 01:12.280 Tensions rise . The United States is 01:12.280 --> 01:14.336 preparing for the inevitability of a 01:14.336 --> 01:16.680 world war US defense officials have 01:16.680 --> 01:18.791 determined that there is a need for a 01:18.791 --> 01:20.347 place to store the nation's 01:20.347 --> 01:22.402 conventional ammunition located away 01:22.402 --> 01:24.458 from the coastline so that it is not 01:24.458 --> 01:26.736 vulnerable to a potential enemy attack . 01:26.736 --> 01:28.958 Property near what is now Crane indiana 01:28.958 --> 01:31.124 Originally planned as a state park was 01:31.124 --> 01:32.847 chosen to locate the new naval 01:32.847 --> 01:34.624 ammunition depot . Burn city on 01:34.624 --> 01:37.040 december 1st 1941 the naval ammunition 01:37.040 --> 01:39.207 depot . Burn city was commissioned and 01:39.207 --> 01:41.850 the timing was impeccable Just six days 01:41.850 --> 01:44.770 later on december 7th 1941 the attack 01:44.770 --> 01:47.520 on Pearl Harbor shook our nation since 01:47.520 --> 01:49.742 its creation , Crane has played a vital 01:49.742 --> 01:51.710 role in our nation's defense . The 01:51.710 --> 01:53.654 mission to store and ship nearly a 01:53.654 --> 01:55.599 third of the nation's conventional 01:55.599 --> 01:57.710 ammunition still resides at crane and 01:57.710 --> 01:59.766 is now the mission of the crane army 01:59.766 --> 02:02.210 ammunition activity . As for NSW see 02:02.210 --> 02:04.480 crane , the organization has evolved 02:04.480 --> 02:06.800 from its roots and ammunition to become 02:06.800 --> 02:09.150 a high tech powerhouse and a critical 02:09.150 --> 02:10.930 part of the naval research and 02:10.930 --> 02:13.980 development establishment . NsW see , 02:13.980 --> 02:15.980 crane has acquired a reputation for 02:15.980 --> 02:18.140 national technical leadership and 02:18.140 --> 02:20.307 through a unique relationship with our 02:20.307 --> 02:22.660 nation's warfighters . Swc , crane has 02:22.660 --> 02:24.271 become known for war fighter 02:24.271 --> 02:26.340 connectedness and those in the local 02:26.340 --> 02:28.507 and regional areas surrounding the lab 02:28.507 --> 02:30.600 appreciate NsW see Crane for the 02:30.600 --> 02:32.822 organization's regional embrace through 02:32.822 --> 02:35.710 corporate citizenship , National 02:35.710 --> 02:38.500 technical leadership . Warfighter 02:38.500 --> 02:41.650 connectedness , corporate citizenship . 02:42.240 --> 02:44.040 NsW see cranes technical work 02:44.040 --> 02:46.290 exemplifies these descriptors and is 02:46.290 --> 02:48.460 focused on three important missions , 02:48.470 --> 02:50.550 all vital to our nation's defense . 02:50.980 --> 02:53.036 These missions include expeditionary 02:53.036 --> 02:55.120 warfare , strategic missions and 02:55.120 --> 02:57.250 electronic warfare . When you think 02:57.250 --> 02:59.500 about the NSW see crane mission and 02:59.500 --> 03:01.722 expeditionary Warfare , think about our 03:01.722 --> 03:04.330 nation's elite warfighters , navy seals 03:04.330 --> 03:06.330 and other special operators and the 03:06.330 --> 03:08.441 capabilities they need to effectively 03:08.441 --> 03:10.590 operate in difficult circumstances . 03:10.880 --> 03:12.936 The nationally recognized scientists 03:12.936 --> 03:15.110 and engineers from NSW see Cranes , 03:15.120 --> 03:17.380 expeditionary warfare mission work 03:17.380 --> 03:19.102 directly alongside these elite 03:19.102 --> 03:21.690 warfighters to innovate and solve tough , 03:21.700 --> 03:24.270 real world problems to provide rapid 03:24.270 --> 03:27.050 response and proven solutions when it 03:27.050 --> 03:29.106 comes to NsW See crane and strategic 03:29.106 --> 03:31.328 missions . Picture of ballistic missile 03:31.328 --> 03:33.383 submarine almost two football fields 03:33.383 --> 03:35.606 long and the foundation of our nation's 03:35.606 --> 03:37.940 nuclear triad . The technical expertise 03:37.940 --> 03:39.996 and leadership from Nsw see cranes . 03:39.996 --> 03:42.107 Strategic missions has been essential 03:42.107 --> 03:44.051 to the operation of this submarine 03:44.051 --> 03:46.107 strategic weapons system for over 60 03:46.107 --> 03:48.060 years . And when you hear about a 03:48.060 --> 03:50.530 successful missile defense test , NsW 03:50.540 --> 03:52.429 Ukraine's fingerprints are on key 03:52.429 --> 03:54.651 components that track and destroy enemy 03:54.651 --> 03:57.260 missiles with strategic missions at Swc 03:57.260 --> 04:00.070 Crane , the goal is to deter , defend 04:00.080 --> 04:02.780 and defeat enemy aggression . When you 04:02.780 --> 04:05.000 think about the NsW see crane mission 04:05.000 --> 04:07.170 and electronic warfare often referred 04:07.170 --> 04:10.000 to as simply E W . Understand that E . 04:10.000 --> 04:12.270 W . Involves using the electromagnetic 04:12.270 --> 04:14.560 spectrum to your advantage and denying 04:14.560 --> 04:16.880 access to your adversaries . If you 04:16.880 --> 04:19.102 have ever used a radar detector in your 04:19.102 --> 04:21.269 vehicle , you use the spectrum to your 04:21.269 --> 04:24.020 advantage . NSW See crane is home to 04:24.020 --> 04:26.780 the largest collection of VW expertise 04:26.780 --> 04:28.447 and infrastructure within the 04:28.447 --> 04:30.613 Department of Defense and the national 04:30.613 --> 04:32.836 technical leadership within the Crane . 04:32.836 --> 04:35.200 E . W . Mission is applied across the 04:35.200 --> 04:38.220 sea , air land and to an extent , even 04:38.220 --> 04:40.500 the undersea and space domains to 04:40.500 --> 04:42.667 control the spectrum so we can control 04:42.667 --> 04:44.700 the fight . These three technical 04:44.700 --> 04:46.970 mission areas were collectively to make 04:46.970 --> 04:49.000 NSW See crane an indispensable 04:49.000 --> 04:51.370 technical force supporting our nation's 04:51.370 --> 04:53.960 war fighters . In addition to the three 04:53.960 --> 04:56.210 technical missions , NSW See Crane 04:56.210 --> 04:58.154 maintains a robust set of business 04:58.154 --> 05:00.210 capabilities that are at the core of 05:00.210 --> 05:02.770 the organization , An organization that 05:02.770 --> 05:05.180 generates over $3 billion dollars in 05:05.190 --> 05:08.610 annual economic activity business areas 05:08.710 --> 05:11.760 such as comptroller contracting and 05:11.760 --> 05:14.060 corporate operations provide business 05:14.060 --> 05:17.090 excellence to enable mission success at 05:17.090 --> 05:20.220 SWc Crane , the underlying strength of 05:20.220 --> 05:22.570 NSW See Crane and the real key to 05:22.570 --> 05:25.160 success is the dedicated workforce and 05:25.160 --> 05:27.216 the team oriented culture that makes 05:27.216 --> 05:29.670 Crane an amazing place to work . The 05:29.670 --> 05:32.020 NSW See Crane workforce consists of 05:32.020 --> 05:34.310 over 5000 government civilians and 05:34.310 --> 05:36.400 contractor partners and nearly two 05:36.400 --> 05:38.511 thirds are scientists , engineers and 05:38.511 --> 05:40.840 technicians . The workforce is highly 05:40.840 --> 05:43.960 educated with over 120 phds and 05:43.960 --> 05:47.490 counting and over 650 master's degrees . 05:47.820 --> 05:50.100 NSW See Crane encourages employee 05:50.100 --> 05:52.267 growth through investments in employee 05:52.267 --> 05:55.630 education and advanced degrees . NSW 05:55.630 --> 05:57.352 See Crane is intentional about 05:57.352 --> 05:59.519 nurturing and maintaining a supportive 05:59.519 --> 06:01.463 culture . Employee engagement is a 06:01.463 --> 06:03.820 priority and trust , integrity , 06:03.880 --> 06:06.260 collaboration and empowerment are all 06:06.260 --> 06:08.840 central to the NSW Ukraine culture , a 06:08.840 --> 06:10.920 culture that embraces diversity and 06:10.920 --> 06:13.270 inclusion such that all employees are 06:13.270 --> 06:15.381 welcomed and encouraged to make their 06:15.381 --> 06:17.760 voice heard as an organization and as 06:17.760 --> 06:19.840 individual employees and Swc Crane 06:19.840 --> 06:21.840 strives to be a good neighbor . The 06:21.840 --> 06:23.896 focus on corporate citizenship means 06:23.896 --> 06:26.062 that NsW Ukraine employees are usually 06:26.062 --> 06:28.284 among the first to volunteer within the 06:28.284 --> 06:30.007 local schools and are known as 06:30.007 --> 06:32.284 community minded , supportive citizens . 06:32.284 --> 06:34.420 A more tangible way in Swc Crane 06:34.420 --> 06:36.476 corporate citizenship has played out 06:36.476 --> 06:38.587 has been through the development of a 06:38.587 --> 06:40.364 vibrant , nationally recognized 06:40.364 --> 06:42.531 innovation ecosystem across the region 06:42.531 --> 06:44.870 and state member organizations of this 06:44.880 --> 06:47.070 innovation ecosystem intentionally 06:47.070 --> 06:49.237 collaborate to create mission critical 06:49.237 --> 06:51.830 solutions . NsW Ukraine is part of the 06:51.830 --> 06:53.886 technological backbone of the United 06:53.886 --> 06:55.719 States Navy and while visiting a 06:55.719 --> 06:58.190 previous Secretary of Defense was asked 06:58.190 --> 07:00.550 what he thought of NsW Ukraine and he 07:00.550 --> 07:02.828 said that when he thinks NsW see crane , 07:02.828 --> 07:06.230 he thinks national treasure . So what 07:06.230 --> 07:08.174 do you think when you hear NsW see 07:08.174 --> 07:11.200 crane , I think NsW see crane when you 07:11.200 --> 07:13.060 think about submarines and their 07:13.060 --> 07:15.010 guidance systems that have to work 07:15.010 --> 07:17.470 precisely and we have to be assured 07:17.470 --> 07:19.303 that those systems have not been 07:19.303 --> 07:21.680 tampered with . And when you think 07:21.680 --> 07:23.791 about ships on the ocean that need to 07:23.791 --> 07:25.736 be able to assess what is going on 07:25.736 --> 07:27.940 around them to detect and protect from 07:27.940 --> 07:30.130 incoming missile threats . Think about 07:30.130 --> 07:32.840 electronic warfare systems engineered 07:32.850 --> 07:36.270 at NsW See crane think nsW see crane . 07:36.270 --> 07:38.381 When you think about the desert , the 07:38.381 --> 07:40.492 beach and remote jungle areas and the 07:40.492 --> 07:42.820 nation's war fighters and the weapons , 07:42.820 --> 07:45.380 the ammo , the unique electro optical 07:45.390 --> 07:47.390 and infrared systems . They need to 07:47.390 --> 07:49.612 complete their specialized missions and 07:49.612 --> 07:51.612 think about the solutions that come 07:51.612 --> 07:53.870 from NsW See crane , think about Navy 07:53.870 --> 07:56.092 jets to take off and land from aircraft 07:56.092 --> 07:58.203 carriers in the middle of the ocean . 07:58.203 --> 08:00.148 And think about electronic warfare 08:00.148 --> 08:01.981 jamming pods and defensive flare 08:01.981 --> 08:03.981 systems that keep our men and women 08:03.981 --> 08:06.390 safe and think SwC Crane . Think about 08:06.390 --> 08:09.060 space and hypersonic missile capability . 08:09.070 --> 08:10.980 Also think about our strategic 08:10.980 --> 08:12.924 deterrent missile and consider the 08:12.924 --> 08:14.980 electronics that go into the missile 08:14.980 --> 08:17.147 and into the submarine that is used to 08:17.147 --> 08:19.202 launch that missile and think in SWC 08:19.202 --> 08:22.570 crane and finally think about this when 08:22.570 --> 08:24.570 warfighters need help solving their 08:24.570 --> 08:26.910 tough technical problems , they think 08:27.090 --> 08:28.250 Ns WC Crane .
