Get ready for a clearer picture of our planet! 🌍 Two new GPS III satellites are being equipped with laser retroflector arrays, thanks to a stellar collaboration between NASA, the U.S. Space Force (USSF), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). These advanced reflectors will dramatically improve the accuracy of GPS satellites, leading to better navigation, disaster response, and scientific research. Imagine more precise weather forecasting, improved search and rescue missions, and groundbreaking discoveries! This is a giant leap for GPS technology. 🚀 #GPS #SpaceTech #Innovation #Science #EarthObservation #NRL #NASA #spacetechnology #spaceforce #USSF #NGA US Navy United States Department of Defense NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration United States Marine Corps National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eBgmRZht

#TechTuesday Joystick Remote Control Circuit Patent In 1926, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's C.B. Mirick patented his system for remote radio control of pilotless aircraft (or of "any circuits or objects which are to be controlled at a distance") using a " 'joy stick' identical with the 'joy stick' provided in aircraft." U.S. Patent no. 1,597,416, "Electrical Distant-Control System," Aug. 24, 1926. "my invention relates broadly to distant control systems, and more particularly to a control circuit for a radio transmitter, and a selectively responsive circuit for a radio apparatus whereby particular controls may be caused to function individually or simultaneously."

Tiny particles in the air, often invisible to the naked eye, are playing a surprisingly big role in our weather! 🌧️ The U.S. Naval Research Lab (NRL) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex) mission focuses on studying the role of aerosol particles, and the relationships between the particles with monsoon meteorology in the Philippines. By understanding how aerosols impact our climate system, we can better predict extreme weather events and develop strategies to protect our planet.

Dr. Abbie Watnik is a shining star in the world of optics! ✨ As Branch Head of the Optical Physics Branch at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, she's exploring the fascinating world of digital holography and shaping the future of light. Her passion for science and the community is contagious. She shares, “Digital holography gives us access to the phase of light, and then we use that to shape and correct or understand how we use that for image correction, phase correction, etc.” Learn more about her work and insights here: https://lnkd.in/eq27-ek7 US Navy United States Department of Defense #optics #science #research #womeninscience #inspiration #WomeninSTEM #NavalSTEM #NRL #people #revolutionize #innovate #resiliency

#TechTuesday Remote-Controlled Pontoon Plane 🛩️ In 1924 NRL developed the control system for the first U.S. flight of a radio-controlled pilotless aircraft. Remotely controlled from the ground, the N-9 float plane took off from the Potomac River, followed a triangular course, executed glides and climbs, and landed on the river.

“It’s our messaging, to make sure that everyone understands that we’re here to collaborate,” said U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Commanding Officer Capt. Jesse Black at the 2024 Combined Naval Event held in the United Kingdom. “Power and energy is like the root. We’re watching the power and technology change. Power and energy on ships has to match the technologies that are changing.” ⚓ US Navy United States Department of Defense United States Marine Corps Navy Leaders #power #energy #collaboration #solutions #science #tech #marines #sailors #defense #CNE2024 #CombinedNavalEvent #maritime #ships #research #dod #leaders #ally

#TechTuesday Unmanned Free Swimming Submersible (UFSS) #JustKeepSwimming In 1979 the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) created up a revolutionary submersible: the Unmanned Free Swimming Submersible (UFSS). This fish-shaped marvel was completely autonomous, obtained by an OMEGA navigator and preprogrammed command and control microcomputer. Thanks to this high-tech design, the UFSS could navigate around for 25 hours at 5 knots, which was attained with a low-drag hull and inexpensive battery energy source.
