  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Amphibians, Unmanned Vehicles
  and Arctic Initiatives
  
  Projects of the NAVSEA Technology Office
  
  Michael Bosworth
  NAVSEA Technology Office, SEA 05T

  
  The NAVSEA Technology Office, SEA 05T, was formed in 2009 and has three divisions focusing on technology development and transition. Some initiatives are funded in-house (six programs in SEA 05T), some by partners (ONR, DARPA, industry, foreign, etc.), and others are areas of interest seeking resourcing. Mr. Bosworth will outline the SEA 05T group and its mission and then zero in on three areas that hold potential for Advanced Marine Vehicles to be part of the solution(s): amphibious vehicles (tracked or wheeled), especially fast amphibians; unmanned maritime vehicles, especially unmanned surface vehicle systems and operational autonomy; and naval responses to the warming and future opening of the arctic seaways.
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  Michael Bosworth is Acting Chief Technology Officer (SEA 05T) of the Naval Sea Systems Command. After a career in uniform (USNA '76, Surface Warfare and Engineering Duty) and graduate studies at MIT ('85), he worked for Syntek Technologies for almost six years before returning to NAVSEA in 2001 as a civilian naval architect and R&D program manager, rising to division director for Ship & Force Architecture Concepts (SEA 05D1). He has been Deputy CTO since 2006 and Acting CTO since 2009, and NAVSEA's representative to the Flag Oversight Board for Task Force Climate Change for a year.
