Road Trip: Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division, Indiana

 

Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division is the principal tenant command located at Naval Support Activity Crane. NSA Crane is a United States Navy installation located approximately 25 miles southwest of Bloomington, Indiana and predominantly located in Martin County, but small parts also extend into Greene and Lawrence counties.

It was originally established in 1941 under the Bureau of Ordnance as the Naval Ammunition Depot for production, testing, and storage of ordnance under the first supplemental Defense Appropriation Act. The base is named after William M. Crane. The base is the third largest naval installation in the world by geographic area and employs approximately 3,300 people.

 

With an increasing demand in the 1990s and 2000s by the U.S. military for bases to support multiple functions rather than being sole-purpose installations, Crane has taken on a broad variety of development and support operations.

These include expeditionary warfare systems, fleet maintenance and modernization, radar, power systems, strategic systems, small arms, surface and airborne electronic warfare, night vision systems, and undersea warfare systems. Crane is also involved in systems development for the upcoming DD(X) class of destroyer for the U.S. Navy and the Littoral Combat Ship.

The Expeditionary Electronic Warfare Division models and simulates: Counter Radio Controlled IED Electronics Warfare (CREW) systems; radio control trigger devices for IEDS; and, the RF prorogation paths involved in the engagement and defeat of RCIEDS, allowing former field tests to be run in a controlled laboratory environment.

The Maritime Electronic Warfare Systems Division models a systems engineering sustainment system that automates Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems sustainment activities. The model is created using the IBM Rational Rhapsody tool using the SysML modeling language and DoD Application Framework (DoDAF).

The sustainment model implements life-cycle activities including logistics delays based on real or proposed replacement part reliabilities, quantities, and locations, along with workflows and processes to support a performance-based sustainment (PBS) solution for Electronic

Warfare Systems. Using SysML and DoDAF, the interactions between Crane employees, automated tools, the Electronic Warfare systems, and data to accomplish PBS are simulated.

Glad you were able to do stuff last week that’s making this week not super-bad. Still not good they way they changed things around.

At least with your sister there tomorrow night, you won’t have the usual interruptions while you finish up. I hope there aren’t many tonight to slow you down.

Last call... “why are you so angry?” *sigh* She walked from her chair to the bed...she is NOT supposed to do that! More crap about things I never said, so I just left.

Back to homework...

I think it’s working....the Good Daughter will be here tomorrow night.

We have a running joke...after days and days and days of telling Mom the same thing, I’ll get home and Mom will tell me that she and Peg figured out X. The very subject. So she’s the Good Daughter, and I’m the one that hides in my room/cave for the odd hour I might have to myself.

Our motto....ODAAT. One day at a time. That’s all I can do.

Keep repeating it! If you repeat it long enough ...... well, the Good Daughter will be there. LOL!

Yeah, ODAAT is all you can do in your situation with her. At least you have several days that someone else will be dealing with her. Too bad Peg doesn’t live closer so she could help more often. :-(

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...has your weather settled down? You and Bo able to get out for a drive?

It’s been pushing 80 here for a couple days and I’m tired of it. Hoping for rain later in the week.

You and Bo have a great Tuesday.
