All Projects

A modular, scalable solid-state high-energy laser built for simple power scaling across air, land, and sea platforms, with adaptive optics for atmospheric compensation and both pulsed and continuous-wave operation. My team owns the power electronics and system design behind the program.

The MK54 is the U.S. Navy's primary lightweight anti-submarine torpedo — launched from surface ships, MH-60R helicopters, and P-8A aircraft. Its active/passive acoustic homing section is the sonar "brain" that guides the weapon onto a maneuvering submarine target. As Chief Engineer I led the team responsible for sonar-section production, depot-level testing, and obsolescence management across the fielded inventory.

• Active/Passive Sonar
• ASW
• Guidance Section

The U.S. Navy's fiber-optic passive wide-aperture flank array for Virginia-class submarines — hull-mounted panels that convert an adversary's radiated acoustic energy into track data using fiber-optic and laser sensing. I directed the cross-functional acoustic engineering, integration, and test effort across the program.

• Wide Aperture Array
• Virginia-Class
• Passive Sonar
• ASW

A self-recharging diesel-electric AUV for large-area seabed mapping and ocean-data collection — multibeam bathymetry, side-scan sonar, and sub-bottom profiling at multi-day endurance. I led the electrical lifecycle and developed the heavy-fuel generator enabling in-mission lithium-polymer recharging, giving the vehicle one of the longest ranges in its class.

• Heavy Fuel Generator
• Li-Po Recharging
• Endurance

A deep-water, bottom-mounted passive sensor array that detects, classifies, and tracks quiet diesel-electric submarines by exploiting the deep-ocean reliable acoustic path — part of the Navy's distributed anti-submarine warfare network. I led the electrical engineering lifecycle: sensor integration, power-distribution architecture, and system-level acceptance testing.

• Passive Sonar
• VLA
• ASW
• Maritime Surveillance

A commercial deepwater AUV for offshore-infrastructure survey and inspection — generates 3-D geo-referenced models of subsea platforms and seabed. I led the electrical architecture, integration, and component-level test of the fleet from Lockheed Martin's Palm Beach facility.

• AUV
• Sonar Suite
• Power Distribution
• Subsea

A 25 kW-class podded high-energy laser for the MQ-9 family — scalable to 300 kW and built to counter one-way attack drones. Its distributed-gain design pairs an ultra-high-power-density battery with ram-air cooling to stay within airborne size, weight, and power limits. I lead the power-electronics team driving it through integration and flight demonstration.

• HEL
• Counter-UAS
• Airborne
• SWaP

A 60+ kW-class shipboard laser weapon system integrated into the Aegis combat system aboard Arleigh Burke-class destroyers — the first tactical directed-energy weapon delivered to the operational U.S. fleet. Working within Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technical Leadership Program at the Baltimore facility, I supported hardware development and system integration through design review, driving the power and thermal subsystems from early development toward fleet delivery.

• HEL
• Shipboard
• Counter-UAS
• Aegis Integration

The first all-electric high-energy laser to defeat a subsonic-cruise-missile target in U.S. Navy testing. I developed the Weapon System Control Segment, built lab test units, and delivered the full-system prototype to Integration & Test.

• HEL
• Counter-UAS
• C-Cruise Missile
• Prototype

The highest-performance helicopter dipping sonar fielded by allied navies — long-range submarine detection in both littoral and open-ocean environments. As Chief Engineer I directed cross-functional engineering teams across program execution and customer engagement.

• Dipping Sonar
• ASW
• Transducer R&D

Submarine and surface-ship towed-array sonar systems for long-range detection of quiet diesel-electric and nuclear submarines. Includes the TB-29A and TB-34A programs I directed at L3Harris.

• TB-29A
• TB-34A
• Towed Array
• ASW

A next-generation piezoelectric transducer material — crystallographically textured ceramic that raises sensitivity and power density well beyond conventional PZT for future sonar arrays. I championed the R&D effort, directing PhD-level material scientists to mature the material's performance and refine its manufacturing toward production.
