Multiple patent disclosures have been filed<br />
by the researchers in relation to work done on this<br />
research initiative. In recognition of their work on the<br />
project, Fitzpatrick, Kephart, Denis Colahan, and ONR<br />
Program Officer George Stimak were named as Top <strong>Navy</strong><br />
Scientists and Engineers of the Year award winners.<br />
<strong>The</strong> prototype system installed on the Higgins<br />
makes use of the cumulative efforts of U.S. <strong>Navy</strong> civilian<br />
engineers, U.S. <strong>Navy</strong> sponsors, and our industry partners. It<br />
is a definitive example of the effectiveness of joint publicprivate<br />
technology development programs that enable quick<br />
transition of emerging technologies to the fleet to support<br />
continued U.S. <strong>Naval</strong> supremacy and affordability.<br />
