Black History Month 2018 Diversity Employee Spotlight

PANMA CITY, Florida — Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division Mechanical Engineer Louis Lee works in the Unmanned Systems Technology Branch. His contributions to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) include working in Science and Technology (S&T) with various unmanned systems under the National Unmanned Systems Shared Resource Center (NUSSRC) where he is involved in sensor integration, surveying and data collection, and maintenance of unmanned systems.

On the project engineering side, he has also helped organize and execute operations for NUSSRC in a variety of locations and has been part of the Navy team to gain insight into new sensors for Automated Target Recognition and autonomy developments and in many cases putting the technology into the water for its first time.

“Teamwork is critical to achieving the mission. With technology advancing faster than ever, innovative solutions from diverse perspectives to solve complex problems will enable our team to give the warfighter the asymmetric advantage,” said Lee.

Lee also develops software in MATLAB for the Mine Countermeasures Task Force Planning Enabling Capabilities Program. In addition, he acted as the mechanical lead and mentor for the 2017 Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program working on the Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel under the Littoral Warfare Innovation Cell.

Lee has also given multiple technical overviews and briefs to discuss how new S&T efforts are developing and being implemented while fostering relationships with partners both in academia and industry. Lee attended Florida Atlantic University and attained his bachelor of science in ocean engineering.
