 This week on All Hands Magazine Online, take a look at what acoustic researchers from the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Acoustic Research Detachment in Landlocked Idaho are doing to improve the stealth and capabilities of Navy submarines across the fleet. My name is Alan Griffiths. I'm the director of the Acoustic Research Detachment here in Ponderay, Idaho. The testing and evaluation that we do here has a direct impact on the performance of our fleet submarines. So it's very important that we have unique assets such as the LSV-2 that you see beside me here that we can cheaply and effectively test technology before it goes to the fleet. The Acoustic Research Detachment performs acoustic stealth research and development primarily on submarine stealth technology before that technology goes into the submarine fleet. So we use a unique fleet of large scale models and ranges here located in Lake Ponderay to perform the mission. For the full story, go to www.ah.mil.
