John Adolphus Dahlgren Award
Two employees are receiving the John Adolphus Dahlgren Award, the command’s highest local award established to recognize individuals with significant achievement in science, engineering or management. The award is named in honor of Rear Admiral John Adolphus Dahlgren (1809-1870), inventor of the Dahlgren gun and considered the father of modern naval ordnance. Robert Dibble from the Engagement Systems Department (G) is commended for his contributions to NSWCDD’s rapid development capacity and capability. These contributions include establishing a government rapid development projects lab; the emphasis in the use of warfighter inputs early in the development; an ability to manage extremely complex projects and still rapidly deliver a product; and the ability to exploit the reuse
Baugher of standard integration software. Marshall C. Baugher, head of the Electromagnetic Effects Division, is recognized for superior technical leadership as a topside design engineer, program manager, and organizational leader. He has devoted his professional career at NSWCDD to ensuring the technical superiority of electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) capabilities and that NSWCDD continues to be the “go to” organization for all things E3.

NSWC Dahlgren Division 2012 Honorary Awards which deals with the exploration, identification and characterization of fundamental processes inside semiconductor materials that produce photo-capacitance effect. Until this work, photocapacitance was a tool to characterize electronic properties of semiconductor materials in the laboratory environment. Boulais and Santiago found a way to construct a generic circuit equivalent model where the circuit parameters are produced from fundamental charge transport properties that emerge when a semiconductor is irradiated with light. As a result, for the first time there is a way to model and extract design parameters for any electronic device application using photocapacitance. This will enable the creation of a new class of composite materials known as tunable artificial dielectrics and will enable the realization of fully tunable metamaterials systems.
