L ast month Marine Technology Reporter (MTR) pre- sented to United States Navy Chief of Naval

Operations Admiral Gary Roughead (pictured right at the Award Reception) its coveted Seamaster Award, an award which was presented at a special Sunset Reception in his honor at the OceanTech Expo in Newport, Rhode

Island.

Upon receiving the award, a commemorative crystal tro- phy and an Omega Seamaster watch, Admiral Roughead addressed more than 200

OceanTech Expo (OTE) delegates with his overview and vision of advancing the use of Unmanned Underwater Systems as a means to expand force capabilities while keeping U.S. sailor out of harm’s way. First and foremost, on behalf of MTR and

OTE, I would like to extend a sincere note of thanks to the Admiral and his entire staff for helping to bring this award, interview and presentation to fruition. It was the Spring of 2010, ironically at OTE in Newport, Rhode Island, that I received an invitation from Admiral Roughead to participate in a discussion with about a dozen industry leaders on the topic of Unmanned Underwater Systems. It was this meet- ing that set into motion this year’s Seamaster Award: the top leader of the world’s largest and most dominate naval force strongly signaling his intention to move for- ward quickly to help increase, integrate and extend its use of Unmanned Underwater

Systems.

During his remarks at OceanTech Expo, Admiral Roughead engaged the audience in an informative Q&A, solidifying the notion that the U.S. Navy, from the top lead- ership down, is able and willing to engage industry to help it deliver on the promise of robotics underwater to help protect lives and make its diverse operations more efficient and cost-effective.

Starting on page 32, Admiral Roughead shares insights on the Navy’s thinking today and going forward.
