 Hello friends of Crane and welcome to our 2021 virtual APBI session. I am Angie Lewis, Technical Director at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division. If you are like me, you would prefer to be assembled in person where we could all interact and discuss the Navy's requirements and our collective interest. I am hopeful we will find many opportunities to do just that in the coming months. For today, we appreciate your time and engagement in this virtual environment and offer a lot of gratitude to the Crane team that has worked to bring this venue together for us all. Hello everyone, my name is Captain Duncan McKay. I am the commanding officer at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane and welcome, on behalf of Crane, to our virtual Advanced Planning Briefing for Industry. Our intention today is to provide a collaborative forum with you, our academic and industry partners to network and hear from Crane leadership about our strategic direction, future needs, and mission requirements. Here at Crane, we take collaboration very seriously. It is a strategic imperative for us. On a routine basis, Dr. Lewis, myself, our department heads and other senior members of the warfare center team get to hear firsthand from commanders and operators about the innumerable challenges that they face out in our forward operating areas. And they are definitely asking us for help and how to solve a lot of those problems. It is evident to me that the vast and expansive innovation ecosystem and our network of partners are critical enablers to our mission and it is each of you that supports and allows us to accelerate the development and transition of technology to our Department of Defense end-users. And again, thank you for your energy and enthusiasm in helping us think about how we can solve our nation's warfighter challenges. We rely on you and the capabilities that you bring to bear and we want to do our part to be outstanding partners. I hope you'll enjoy this week's events as you learn much about the critical mission of NSWC Crane. Thank you all.
