  1. Cooperative Experience Employment Education (Co-Op) Program Earn While You Learn Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Patuxent River, Maryland February 10, 2009 Paul Hoffman PhD, P.E. Director Education & Research Partnerships

  2. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) • Cooperative Education Program – Earn While You Learn • Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Focus • NAWCAD Overview –Paul Hoffman PhD, P.E. • Co-Op Program – Kathy Glockner • Student Benefits • Application Process • Retention 2

  3. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division NAWCAD • Career Opportunities: • Aerospace (Aeronautical) and Mechanical Engineering (Federal employee, not military) • Education (junior & senior years) paid • Tuition up to $4500/semester • Textbooks up to $400/semester • Degree from a top-tiered Engineering School (UMCP) • Guaranteed employment upon graduation • World Class T&E Facility • Employment during summer and semester breaks • Real time exposure to engineering • Upon Co-Op completion ~ two years experience

  4. NAWCAD Quicklook PEOPLE • 22,200 workforce • St. Mary’s largest employer • 4,500 dependents supported • 4,500 retired military supported • 300,000 visitors annually GEOGRAPHY •14,502 acres • 78.6 miles of roads • 18.7 miles of shoreline • 65 miles south of Wash DC • 90 miles north of Norfolk

  6. Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility Propulsion Systems Evaluation Facility Large Anechoic Chamber Manned Flight Simulator Shielded Hangar Electronic Warfare Integration System Test Lab ACETEF, the Navy’s fully integrated RDT&E Installed Systems Test facility, provides full spectrum evaluation of highly integrated aircraft and aircraft systems in a secure controlled engineering environment Warfare Simulation Lab Communication, Navigation, IFF Lab High Performance Computing Threat Air Defense Lab Operations & Control Center

  7. EA-18G Development • Networked systems within ACETEF provided dynamic, repeatable, realistic, hardware-in-the-loop simulations for EA-18G AEA systems testing • Systems provided scenario control, emitter stimulation, and aircraft navigation inputs for design reference scenario • Full Link 16 network • Future testing (July 07) to incorporate satellite broadcasts and communications threat simulators into integrated scenario • Combined capabilities allowed both subsystem performance testing and a robust crew-vehicle interface evaluation in a realistic environment • HWIL provided system performance variables missing in standalone flight simulators • Provided a more distributed and robust threat environment than available on open-air ranges (and at a fraction of the cost) • Repeatability of simulation allowed isolation of variables affecting mission accomplishment • Used both for discovering problems pre-flight and for characterizing problems post-flight • End result – Allowed effective and efficient characterization of complex system issues early in the development cycle
