090202-N-N1809-1002 SAN DIEGO (Feb. 2, 2009) A close-up of a model of USS Gerald Ford (CVN 78) at the Antenna Model Range at Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific in San Diego, Feb. 2, 2009, shows a miniature satellite dish, just one detail on a model ship consisting of tiny antennas, satellite dishes, add-on compartments, and anything solid that could affect high-frequency radio communications. Testing antenna configurations on model ships before installing them on real ships 48 times the models’ size saves the Navy time and money by validating high-frequency radio communications coverage before any metal is cut in the shipyard.
