Celebrating Women's History Month Article by Communications Staff We celebrate this month to remind ourselves of the many accomplishments of women throughout history, in addition to giving us a chance to reflect on the trailblazing women who lead the way for change. We asked some of our very own PMT engineers about women in history that may have been a source of inspiration to pursue a career in science or engineering – below are a few stories we would like to share. Emily Stauffer Mechanical Engineer, Bangor Office Marie Curie stands out as a source of inspiration for me. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win two of them in different categories. She is remembered for her discovery of radium and polonium, and her huge contribution to the fight against cancer. Her invention of the portable x-ray machine (called Little Curies) during WWI saved a lot of lives. She built these x-ray machines and recruited other women to help her bring them to the frontlines to teach doctors and nurses how to use them on wounded soldiers. Her influence is so significant that my husband and I have chosen to name our daughter, who will be arriving very soon, after her. Her name will be Lillian Curie. Eric Hultgren Dire ctor of Power and Energy, South Kingstown Office My older sister, Gretchen Barnes, inspired me to study and pursue a career in engineering. Gretchen studied mechanical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I loved visiting her on campus and was always amazed about what she was working on. Her enthusiasm was contagious and that solidified my desire to become an engineer. When I finished graduate school, I was fortunate enough to work with her. For over 20 years, she was one of my top technical and programmatic sounding boards. After all these years she still inspires me to keep growing and learning both personally and professionally. Love you Gretchen. Kayla Rasavanh Mecha nical Engineering Intern, Honolulu Office There is not a specific woman in history that has inspired me to pursue a career in engineering. My source of inspiration to pursue engineering came from a few of my fellow female lacrosse teammates and the advice they gave me. I was in between majors, and they were both studying mechanical engineering. The curriculum and their internships sounded really exciting to me, so I decided to try it out. Both have now graduated and are working, one at an environmental engineering firm, and the other is a nuclear engineer. The field of mechanical engineering is dominated by men, and because of that, women are able to create a community within one another. Watching my friends lead successful careers and knowing there is always someone who has my back and wants me to succeed is what inspires me to keep going. Whether an 18th century two-time Nobel Prize winning scientist, or a few influential people in your life that champion your accomplishments, there is inspiration that can be found all around us. Inspiration can propel a person from apathy to possibility. Here at MDG we wanted to recognize a few of our colleagues and their sources of inspiration – it is our talented employee base that makes this company such a unique place to work, thank you Emily, Eric, and Kayla for sharing your stories with us! » back

PacMar Technologies Wins DARPA Phase 2 Award for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Article by Communications Staff Honolulu, HI – 22 FEB 2022 – The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded PacMar Technologies (PMT) a $54.8 million contract for Phase 2 of the Manta Ray program. The program funds research, development, and demonstration of innovative technologies allowing payload-capable autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) to operate on long-duration, long-range missions in ocean environments. The program funds work at various PMT locations including Hawaii, Maine, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia. Picture above: Artist’s concept of Manta Ray UUV. Image credit: DARPA Public Affairs. During this phase of the Manta Ray program, PMT will assemble and demonstrate a vehicle that incorporates novel energy management techniques for UUV operations; low-power, high efficiency undersea propulsion systems; mission management approaches for extended durations while accounting for dynamic maritime environments; and new approaches to mitigate biofouling, corrosion, and other material degradation for long duration missions. “PacMar Technologies’ conceptual and design efforts in Phase 1 of DARPA’s Manta Ray program will now advance into Phase 2, which concludes with full-scale at-sea demonstrations,” said CDR Kyle Woerner, the DARPA Program Manager for Manta Ray. “Building and testing this full-scale, integrated Manta Ray system will convincingly demonstrate that DARPA has ‘redefined possible’ for undersea vehicles.” “We are excited to continue our work on Manta Ray into Phase 2. This is an incredible opportunity for a small business with great partners to disrupt the large UUV space. This is also a great win for continuing high technology maritime focused research and development in Hawaii,” Dan Brunk , Chief Executive Officer, PMT. “DARPA programs are known to be difficult because they are looking for transformational change and not just incremental improvement. This program pushes the limits of underwater vehicle technology and autonomy in several new directions. We are extremely lucky to have assembled through the years an excellent team of engineers and scientists, both internally and with our partners on this program, enabling us to compete against companies 100 times our size. As a Honolulu based company, we have a unique perspective that leads to advantages for conducting this type of research” said Brian Kays , Vice President of Platform Design, PMT.

The christening with the champagne bottle was a smashing success! Vessel Oversight pier-side in Honolulu Harbor prior to commissioning its engines. Boat Christening of Vessel Oversight Article by Communications Staff In September, PacMar Technologies (PMT) christened its new escort boat named Oversight at its working shipyard located at Pier 24 in Honolulu, HI. Boat christening is a time-honored tradition to wish good luck and safe passage to maritime vessels and their crews. This 38-ft vessel will be a towing/escort vessel for PMT’s current IMS project. PMT Hawaii colleagues gathered together for the celebration, along with Nate Urciuoli of Helmut’s Marine Service (Volvo Penta engine supplier), based in California, travelled to Hawaii to commission the vessel’s twin-engine and drive installation. PMT chose to install this state-of-the-art propulsion system because of its excellent maneuverability and high thrust. Some other special features of the vessel are the reverse deadrise hull form and large aft payload area. Just a few hours after Oversight was christened, the vessel made its way into the nearby Hawaiian waters. It performed well in sea trials and will soon enter into its next phase of testing support for the IMS program. » back
