    This episode opens with hosts Chelsie and Alex sharing some recent family milestones they each celebrated. Then it transitions into their interview with NIWC Atlantic Lead Systems Engineer Paul Walter and NIWC Atlantic PEO Digital Deputy Director of Architecture Caleb Scott, who share the recent milestone their team accomplished at NIWC Atlantic. This milestone was the model-based systems engineering (MBSE) technical focus area (TFA) achieving the status of a “Core Proficiency” at NIWC Atlantic. This achievement means the team has proven their success and is able to accept more complex problems to solve for the Navy. The two guests engage in fun banter while explaining the many ways MBSE is used to create information warfare solutions. Paul and Scott talk about how MBSE is used to streamline systems that are involved in everything from email to reconnaissance. They touch on the ways MBSE optimizes network organization for more efficient results that save the government money and time. Then the episode slides into a military moment led by special NIWC Atlantic public affairs guest host Jerry Sekerak in Hampton Roads, VA. He speaks with three newly promoted Naval Chief Petty Officers. Chief Information Systems Technicians Tess Tharp and Matthew Groschup; and Chief Logistics Specialist Darian Adams speak about the process and honor of putting on the high rank. This episode is a celebration of milestones from family, to engineering, to promotions.

    Technically Speaking Podcast - Episode 31 - Battle ready technology within the JLTV (Ep. 31) In this episode, we explore how NIWC Atlantic engineers are transforming the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) into a fully mission-ready platform for the modern battlefield. Guests Jenny Bennett and Catherine Lobb, NIWC Atlantic Integrated Project Team (IPT) leads, walk us through how their IPTs enhance JLTVs with advanced C5ISR capabilities—command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance—ensuring our warfighters have secure connectivity and adaptable technology in any environment. From upgrading base models to prototyping next-generation Navy trucks, their work exemplifies how science, engineering, and innovation directly support operational readiness across all military branches. Additionally, they explain how their systems within the JLTVs are used to test additional projects at NIWC Atlantic, such as underwater submarine communications. We also hear from Staff Sergeant Irene Suarez, who shares her perspective on how technology connects to real-world missions and the Marines who depend on it. If you’re interested in how cutting-edge engineering and cyber integration fuel the Navy’s information warfare advantage, this episode is for you.
