Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport Technical Director Marie Bussiere unveiled the command’s 10-year strategic vision and outlined industry’s role in that initiative during a panel discussion at Southeastern New England Defense Industry Alliance (SENEDIA) Defense Innovation Days held Aug. 25-27 at the Newport Marriott. Technical leaders at Division Newport have refined these crucial areas and projected their progress onto Capability Evolution Plans, Bussiere said. At Defense Innovation Days in 2024, she announced a partnership between Division Newport and the Naval Meteorology and Oceanographic Command (CNMOC). Plunkett, who is developing the technology roadmaps, said Division Newport leverages its internal investment portfolio to meet demand signals from the fleet and fill technological gaps. NUWC is not doing it alone.”As Division Newport looks to accelerate its technology delivery, Lamb discussed the ways in which the Contracts Department can facilitate those efforts.
