Fire Controlman 2nd Class Sam Lantinga, from Grand Rapids, Michigan, assigned to USS Gerald R. Ford's (CVN 78) combat systems department, stands watch as the defense weapons coordinator in the ship's combat direction center (CDC) during sea based developmental testing (SBDT). SBDT is conducted to stress the ship's combat system capabilities to include the integration of new technologies Dual Band Radar with Rolling Airframe Missile and Sea Sparrow missiles. During SBDT operation 6B, Ford ran a risk reduction scenario for an AQM-37 high diving missile, an exercise that will be required during Combat System Ship Qualification Trial in order for the ship's combat systems to be considered fully operation capable.
