    DAHLGREN, Va. - Navy engineer Steve Shannon leads tactical operations at the 2016 USS Dahlgren demonstration, Aug. 30. Navy scientists and engineers evaluated a strike group's Aegis combat system, gun weapon systems, and unmanned vehicles integrated with surface and air assets at the event. As a cybernetic hub, USS Dahlgren proved engagement coordination across the simulated battlegroup and live fire destruction of multiple targets from two combatants utilizing two different gun based systems. "All testing occurs within the fence in an environment that does not impact Navy ships or crew members," said Shannon, USS Dahlgren tactical operations manager. "The testing normally required aboard a real ship or other high demand sites can now be accomplished through USS Dahlgren." (U.S. Navy photo by George Smith/Released)
