 Science and technology is important because it brings warfighting concepts to reality. My name is Victoria Blair and I'm a materials engineer for the U.S. Army. As a materials engineer, I develop new sensor windows, which are protection for sensitive electronics and cameras on U.S. platforms. I love a technical challenge and this is one of the most difficult scientific problems in ceramic science. If I'm successful then we'll be able to have more options for guidance to guide warfighters in a challenging scenario. I'm proud to serve the U.S. Army with my science. I am the Forge.
