    The image shows a ruggedized electronic monitoring device called the HOWL (Health Observation & Weight Logger) mounted on a chain-link fence at Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site (Est. 1670). The device features a small LCD screen displaying a live view of three people posing for the camera, and includes sponsor logos from Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic, CSU, and Lasered Gifts 4U. The unit has a USB port, ON/OFF switch, and orange-cabled power connections at the base.

    Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic played a key mentorship role in a collaborative effort with Charleston Southern University (CSU) and Charles Towne Landing to develop the Health Observation and Weight Logger (HOWL), an innovative system that enables caretakers to collect health and weight data from endangered Red Wolves without sedation or direct human interaction. Throughout the project, NIWC Atlantic engineers provided technical guidance, manufacturing expertise, and hands-on mentorship to CSU engineering students, while they developed the technology and gained real-world engineering experience. The resulting technology, supports Red Wolf conservation by reducing animal stress and improving data collection. This collaboration advanced NIWC Atlantic’s commitment to developing the next generation of STEM talent, strengthening community partnerships, and cultivating a skilled workforce capable of delivering future information warfare solutions for the Navy.
