T

he Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (DONSAPRO) has contracted social justice performance troupe,

interACT, to facilitate sexual assault and awareness training through interactive live performances — and they’re bringing the show to NAS Patuxent River.

During the two scheduled July 22, at Center Stage Theater, audience

members will be given the chance to rehearse bystander intervention and assertive communication strategies that are key to sexual assault prevention.

“The interACT troupe presents complicated, realistic scenes about

sexual assault and then invites audience members on stage to practice intervention tactics,” explained Lt. Jackie Pau, public affairs officer with the Navy Office of Information. “It helps Sailors, Marines and other audience members learn [what to do]

when they see these types of situations happening, and gives them a safe space to rehearse bystander intervention strategies.”

Pau noted that audience

FULL STEAM AHEAD

Navy engineer’s career tracks evolution of catapult used to launch naval aircraft

By Paula A. Paige Program Management (AIR 1.0) Public Affairs

T

here’s nothing “modest” about the Navy’s new electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) and perhaps one naval engineer knows this best.

80-year-old Modest (moh-DEST’) Zacharczenko (za-kar-CHEN’-ko) has spent most of his 55year career working on the Navy’s aircraft launch and recovery systems, 43 of them in the Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Program Office (PMA-251) at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, Maryland.

Although the veteran engineer didn’t witness the June 5 EMALS test aboard pre-commissioning unit (PCU) Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), he influenced the evolution of the catapult system that will eventually replace the current steam-powered version. EMALS will be installed on the Navy’s newest carrier, CVN 78, which is scheduled to be commissioned in March 2016.

Zacharczenko is the Aviation Ship Integration (ASI) Department’s deputy director for aviation systems at Program Executive Office (PEO) for Aircraft Carriers, a job ensuring the success-

ful integration of the Navy’s aviation and shipboard systems. Although based at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., he is aligned under Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).

Despite the complexities of working with multiple organizations, Zacharczenko said he “is simply focused on getting aircraft safely in the air and back on deck and providing support for every ship afloat.

“Without the installed aircraft catapults and arresting gear, there would be no naval tactical aviation as we know it,” he said. “The bottom line in aircraft carrier aviation is flight safety of manned and unmanned aircraft.”

For Zacharczenko, who calls EMALS the “Navy’s future workhorse,” the delivery of the Ford is also a harbinger of his eventual retirement.

“My goal is to see the Ford commissioned and go on the trials with EMALS onboard,” he said. “Then, my job will be done.”

For now, however, he is focused on ensuring the catapult’s transition from steam to electromagnetics.

Although EMALS will eventually replace steam catapults on Ford-class aircraft carriers, Zacharczenko said it deserved a salute.

“Steam has served us superbly,” he said. “The Navy will use a mix of EMALS and steam catapults, with steam being used on Nimitz-class carriers and continue to be used until 2059.”

According to the Navy, steam-powered catapults use about 125 gallons of water per launch, requiring the carrier to continuously generate fresh water, an essential commodity aboard a vessel.

With nearly 5,000 Sailors aboard a typical carrier, water is needed to maintain a proper quality of life.

Consequently, its use may be restricted during high sortie rates of up to 125 launches during a 12-hour operating day.

His first steam engine Zacharczenko, who was born in Ukraine, said he was 8 years old when an uncle presented him with a small-scale working steam engine, piquing his interest in an eventual career. But the turmoil of war would steal his childhood.

Zacharczenko said he and his family were forced to flee the Ukraine during World War II to escape brutal Communist and Nazi forces that executed and

deported millions of citizens.

Eventually, Zacharczenko and his family made their way to New York City via a converted troop carrier ship. By then, he was 14. He graduated from high school, earned a scholarship to attend college and became a U.S. citizen in 1953. Upon graduation in 1959 and concurrent commissioning as a second lieutenant under the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps program, he landed a job as a development test engineer at then-Naval Air Test Facility, Lakehurst, New Jersey, starting a career in aircraft launch and recovery that would span more than 50 years. Zacharczenko later left Lakehurst for NAVAIR headquarters in Crystal City, Virginia, moved with the command to NAS Patuxent River, then to his current job at the Navy Yard.

During that time, he implemented significant advancements in the development of the catapult, making him more than just a footnote in its history.

Recognizing the need to minimize demand for highpressure steam and competition with the ship’s propulsion system, in 1982 he led the development of the

Habitat for Humanity event helps local vets

By Shawn Graham NAS Patuxent River Public Affairs

Patuxent Habitat for Humanity is hosting its third Annual “Warrior Fun Run & Sail” event Aug. 22. The race begins at 8 a.m. at the Calvert Marine Museum. Last year’s event raised more than $10,000.

The event features a 5K Fun Run/3K Fun Walk, Warrior Boat Parade and Fouled Anchor Regatta event. All events are held on Solomons Island. This year’s event also features an officially timed 5K run.

Dakota Shelton, a volunteer event coordinator who also works at Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23, said the event supports the Veteran Critical Home Repair Program (VCHRP).

“VCHRP provides all local veterans an opportunity to afford major repairs to their home when they might not otherwise be able to,” Shelton said. “Repairs included in this program are handicap accessibility modifications, roof repairs, floor repairs,

and various health and safety repairs.”

The 5K race is followed by a boat parade at around 10 a.m.

Early registration begins at 11:59 p.m. July 17. For more information, visit PatuxentHabitat.org or call 301-863-6227.

The effort saved the Navy more than $600 million and earned Zacharczenko NAVAIR’s Cost Reduction Achievement Award for a single action. Additionally, in 2003, he helped establish the ASI Department, which bridges the gap between the Navy’s aviation and maritime capabilities.

Focused on the future As the Navy gears up for PCU Ford’s formal commissioning ceremony, Zacharczenko is also preparing his next steps, which began with recognition of his latest professional milestone — 55 years of service. In November, Vice Adm. Da-

vid Dunaway, who leads NAVAIR, praised Zacharczenko for his “innovation, leadership and professional expertise” to the Navy.

“You have tackled every professional challenge with deliberate focus and steadfast determination,” Dunaway told family and friends who gathered at the Navy Yard to honor Zacharczenko. “Your Navy and your country have benefitted from your loyalty, technical knowledge and commitment. Thank you for your tireless service to this nation.”

As for what he will do when he eventually retires, Zacharczenko said he plans to spend time at his summer home, travel Europe with his wife of 50 years and, “from his veranda,” monitor the activities of his other love, the Navy’s catapults.

Logistics employees work to learn ins, outs of NAVAIR Aircraft Survivability Center

By Emily Strotman Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers Communication Support

I

n an effort to understand how Navy and Marine aircrew prepare for an aviation mishap, employees from the Naval Acquisition Development Program (NADP) took a tour of the Aircraft Survivability Training Center at NAS Patuxent River July 1.

Created to promote the growth of entry-level professionals in finance, contracting, logistics, science and engineering, the NADP is made up of employees from NAVAIR’s Logistics and Industrial Operations (AIR 6.0) who have no more than three years of experience as civilians for the DON. The training center tour was the latest in a series of experiences set up to expose the group to different aspects of NAVAIR. “Being part of the NADP gives me the opportunity to experience the various divisions and programs within NAVAIR so that I may gain a more holistic view of how each component supports

(AIR 6.7).

Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Bradly Stilley, an instructor at the center, led the group through the different training areas that prepare the

aircrew for a variety of mishaps, such as egress trainers, which simulate an aircraft underwater; ejection seats that teach participants proper body positioning when eject-

ing from an aircraft; and a virtual reality parachute that allows students to troubleshoot a series of malfunctions that may occur.

“Our goal is to save

lives and give the aircrew the confidence to know that they’re prepared,” Stilley said.

Seeing the different activities gave the NADP members a better perspective on how their work impacts fleet readiness.

“This tour made me aware of the rigorous training the warfighter undergoes in order to survive in the aviation environment,” Johnson said. “As a logistician, or aviation maintenance planner, I can save lives by evaluating the testing and operational data to ensure that the tools and equipment the aircrew use are safe and reliable.”

NADP tour coordinators are planning more events in the near future, including the Arresting and Landing Gears (ALRE) labs and a trip to the NAWCAD ALRE site in New Jersey. For more information about the program, contact Stephanie Souders at 301-7578416.

NAVAIR projects receive funding to solve avionics problems

By Jerica Beavan Avionics Component Improvement Program Analyst

A

fter reviewing 35 proposals, NAVAIR’s Air Combat Electronics Program Office (PMA-209) recently awarded funding to nine projects through the Avionics Component Improvement Program (AvCIP).

AvCIP, which is funded by the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), provides money to address current naval avionics system problems, such as those that can no longer meet mission requirements, are not reliable or are high-cost drivers.

“Platforms across NAVAIR face obsolescence issues,” said Candy Chesser, program manager for PMA-209, which manages AvCIP. “The projects selected to use AvCIP resources enable our acquisition and program managers to address, with near-term funds, current mission degraders and sustainment cost drivers impacting fleet readiness.”

Each year, offices across NAVAIR are invited to submit proposals.

AvCIP approved $8.5 million May 28, which

was allotted by OPNAV for fiscal 2016 efforts, to distribute among this year’s winning projects. The funds will benefit several naval aviation platforms,

including: AH-1W, UH1Y, AH-1Z, MH-60, F/A-18 E/F, P-8A, H-1, MQ-8B, CH-53K and any platforms that use Common Munitions Bit Reprogramming Equipment.

One project, which was accelerated to begin this year, will modernize a critical piece of ground support equipment involved in electronic warfare mission training for EA-18G aircrews.

“The Electronic Combat Training Device (ECTD) component was in danger of catastrophic failure,” said Doug Long, electronic combat training device manager. “Without the AvCIP program, the risk

of losing the device completely was a real possibility. Efficiency and support from management played a significant role in getting our project accelerated into the current cycle.”

The projects are expected to save the fleet more than $80 million in lifecycle costs, and several projects will aid in obsolescence issues to enable continued full mission capability.

The solicitation for fiscal 2017 AvCIP proposals will begin in December.

SHOW

Continued from 1 members never take the role of the victim and no violence is presented on stage by the nationally renowned troupe, which consists of six actor-educators and two facilitators.

“We never embarrass anyone,” said Tim Maurer, interACT program administrator. “We encourage those who want to come up on stage to come up. Our performers and facilitators have all been through victim advocacy training and we’re knowledgeable on the topic.”

The group has been working with the Navy since spring of 2014 and Pau estimates more than 50,000 Sailors and Marines around the world have seen interACT perform since then.

Feedback from previous performances has been positive with Sailors reporting the interactive approach helps them to better understand the impact of sexual assault and to recognize their role in preventing it and supporting those affected.

“We don’t preach, we talk on their level, and it’s not a PowerPoint presentation,” Maurer said, “We’re training them for real life situations, just like they train for combat. We give them the tools and practice to actually make a difference when these scenarios become reality.”

For fiscal 2014, according to the DOD Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military, the estimated prevalence of sexual assault decreased across the department and the estimat-

ed proportion of victims choosing to report the crime has increased to an unprecedented level.

DOD’s commitment to progress is enduring, the report notes, and includes ongoing work with the services to incorporate best practices and reforms that improve its ability to address the crime. Every service member must participate in creating a culture where sexist behaviors, sexual harassment and sexual assault are not tolerated, condoned or ignored.

The department’s success relies on the full participation of every service member and leader in implementing this culture change.

“No form of sexual assault is ever acceptable in the Department of the Navy,” Pau stated.

“And all are crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”

“There are three conference rooms down the hall that do a tremendous amount of business and prior to this, there was only limited coffee service available,” he said. “MWR is always looking for ways to better accommodate our customers and always looking for needs out there that we can fill.”
