Dimitri Mavris and a research team at the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL) are working with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) through the Naval Engineering Education Center (NEEC) to expose NEEC students to real Navy challenges. After a successful review meeting in late March, the NEEC leadership chose to recognize the team’s work using advanced systems-of-systems analysis techniques for sea-based Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) studies. The research is being supervised by personnel from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division in Dahlgren, VA.
