WASHINGTON (June 22, 2016) - Dr. Christopher Weiland, holding the 2015 Dr. Delores M. Etter Top Scientists & Engineers of the Year Award for exceptional scientific and engineering achievement, is flanked by Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition Sean Stackley and the award's namesake. Etter, a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition joined Stackley to present the award to recipients at a Pentagon ceremony. Weiland - a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division engineer - was one of three recipients in the award's Emergent Investigator Category. He was honored for developing a system that augments naval gunfire capabilities by using unmanned aerial vehicles as additional shipboard sensors. His project eliminates risks in training scenarios and allows U.S. warships to quantitatively train and score gun crews anywhere in the world.
