PacMar Technologies (PMT) is celebrating Earth Day 2021 by reflecting on our programs – past, present, and future – that contribute to better research or application of green energy. Headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, PMT’s connection to the ocean and the planet is undeniable – the company actively seeks projects that harvest, improve efficiency, or employ renewable energy sources, while at the same time, working to find better more efficient ways to clean-up our oceans. Celebrating our Commitment to Green Energy: Earth Day 2021 Article by Communications Staff PacMar Technologies (PMT) is celebrating Earth Day 2021 by reflecting on our programs – past, present, and future – that contribute to better research or application of green energy. Headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, PMT’s connection to the ocean and the planet is undeniable – the company actively seeks projects that harvest, improve efficiency, or employ renewable energy sources, while at the same time, working to find better more efficient ways to clean-up our oceans. A sample of past and current projects include: Innovation and efficiency in hull design. Improved electric propulsion systems. Inflatable technology with flexible solar panels for at-sea renewable energy. Using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to calculate accelerated speeds which oil booms can identify, collect and store oil spills. OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) and WEC (Wave Energy Conversion) design research and utility-scale power storage design research. Pictured is PMT’s Applied Engineering division (located at Pier 24 in Hawaii). This shipyard facility on an independent microgrid that is powered by a solar canopy and Tesla batteries. “PMT is known for its innovative research and prototyping approach to solve national problem sets. Our commitment to problems impacting the nation has led us to think about how our work can benefit the environment. Whether its rapidly deployable solar arrays, electric propulsion, or energy harvesting, we welcome the opportunity to dig into green energy solutions,” said Priya Hicks , Chief Technology Officer at PMT. Last year, a team of PMT Hawaii engineers won the Ocean Observing Prize DISCOVER competition , with a submission that integrated a rapidly installed breakwater (RIB) structure into an attenuating wave energy converter (WEC) that would generate power for UUV (unmanned underwater vehicles) charging while simultaneously creating a sheltered area for improved surface docking. “As I work on specific contracts, I always try my best to apply a renewable energy approach – when applicable – as a solution. A lot of the things we end up building are made for the ocean, so it is natural to look around at the natural environment – the sun, wind, or ocean currents for alternative sources of energy,” said Patrick Montolio, Mechanical Engineer, PMT (a teammate of the winning submission to the Ocean Observing Prize DISCOVER competition). More recently PMT held a crowdsourcing event that generated nearly 20 entries of ideas on future projects. The PMT leadership team chose three projects, two of which included green energy solutions: an inflatable solar array that would serve as charging station in a maritime environment and an electric hybrid emergency response vehicle during catastrophic events. “Many of our current employees are passionate about green technology, and we recognize this field will be a priority for the engineers of tomorrow. Being a leader in green energy not only helps our customers, but it also helps us to provide meaningful, innovative project opportunities to our employees,” said Karen Ernst, SVP of Talent and Culture, PMT. Eric Schiff, SVP of Operations and Administration also shared that “while Earth Day is only one day in April, we encourage our employees to find environmentally friendly solutions every day – both for our customers and within our own operations. We are proud of our deep connection to the ocean and see a bright future in the green engineering solutions of tomorrow.” » back

As a small defense contractor, PacMar Technologies prides itself on being an agile and responsive company that provides innovative products and solutions to the Department of Defense, particularly the Navy and Marine Corps teams. PMT Employees Reflect on the Meaning of Memorial Day » back to News Article by Communications Staff As a small defense contractor, PacMar Technologies prides itself on being an agile and responsive company that provides innovative products and solutions to the Department of Defense, particularly the Navy and Marine Corps teams. This Memorial Day, we wanted to share some personal thoughts from our very own employees who are Veterans. Though we may be apart this Memorial Day, there is something very special about coming together, regardless of location, to pay respect to America’s fallen heroes. Featured below in Q&A style, each of our employees is wearing a symbolic poppy pin*, representing the military men and women who have given their lives since World War I to defend our freedom. Q. A. Q. A. DAN BRUNK CEO Retired, U.S. Navy Is there something that you do every year on Memorial Day to observe the day? It depends on the year and the local events, but a few years ago, I was a co-Grand Marshall with my parents in my hometown Memorial Day parade. My father is retired Navy (WWII vet, part of Cuban Missile Crisis blockade), and my mother was in the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) for ten years. How is MDG’s mission similar to your mission when you were serving? My goal is to make our applied research and development work at MDG beneficial for the Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, Soldier, Airmen, and Guardians. We always need to be good stewards of taxpayers’ dollars. We do this by building teams and focusing on the mission. These principles are no different than stationing a ‘special watch’ to conduct a non-routine mission. Q. A. Q. A. TODD FEE Director, Pacific Operations Retired, U.S. Air Force What does Memorial Day mean to you? It’s a time to reflect upon the over 1.1 million Americans who lost their lives protecting the values we cherish today. Is there anything else you’d like to add? I’ve always felt the most important thing I could do in uniform was to ensure my team was well trained and positioned to be the best. Working for a defense contractor who has the potential to provide advanced material solutions to ensure the US maintains its technological advantage, is a way I can continue to make that impact. Q. A. Q. A. PAM BERRY Facility Security Officer Retired, U.S. Navy What does Memorial Day mean to you? A day to remember those who sacrificed everything for this country and for those who are fortunate enough to call it home. Is there something you do every year on Memorial Day to observe the day? I think of my friends I lost in the pentagon during 9/11, and while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Q. A. Q. A. SHANNON BLACKERBY Director of Strategy, Special Operations Forces Former, U.S. Marine Corps, National Guard How is PMT’s mission similar to your mission when you were serving? It is very similar. Both focus on a greater cause that is something bigger than just yourself, the fact that others are relying on you to do the right thing and to make the right decision. Is there anything else you would like to add? There is a tremendous amount of divisiveness today in our country. Take a moment this Memorial Day and set your politics aside. Set your preconceived notions and ideas aside. Give a head nod to those veterans who have passed. An instant in time to acknowledge their service. In that instant, realize that there is a common bond that we all share. We are Americans. Thank you to Dan, Todd, Pam, and Shannon for sharing their personal stories with us. We hope you all have a safe Memorial Day and can take a moment to remember the sacrifice of veterans, past and present. *The poppy was made famous in a poem called “In Flanders Fields,” by the Canadian surgeon, LCOL John McRae from Guelph, Ontario.

Autonomy & Data Science We develop digital twins of systems and subsystems on DoD platforms, for hull structural health monitoring, self-healing autonomous machinery, and smart electrical grids. Our unique understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning is applied to the development of efficient and accurate virtual worlds. Methods to test and train unmanned systems in all domains ensures resiliency of these technologies and systems. Autonomy Development Unmanned Systems PacMar Technologies develops autonomy solutions for aerial, ground, amphibious, surface, and undersea vehicles in dynamic and uncertain environments. Our core expertise involves cognitive systems approaches for A.I.-based autonomy that enables the vehicle to perform higher-level reasoning and adapt to unexpected events. This contrasts with the state of most of today’s unmanned systems that follow scripted missions that require intense operator cognitive workload to program. PacMar Technologies autonomy research aims to invert the unmanned vehicle-operator paradigm by embedding greater intelligence and reasoning on the vehicle, thereby enabling one operator to manage multiple unmanned vehicles. By inverting that paradigm, unmanned systems become true force multipliers. Industry 4.0, Digital Twin, and the Industrial Internet of Things Industry 4.0, also known as the Industrial Internet of Things, is revolutionizing how nearly every commercial industry is achieving increased automation and resiliency with ‘smart’ machines that can monitor themselves and correct issues without human intervention. PacMar Technologies is collaborating with the Office of Naval Research and a network of universities to develop resilient, autonomous machinery for Navy ships that will reduce manning, lower lifecycle cost, and increase long duration operation of the hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) systems that ships depend on to function. Digital Twins are key enabling technology in PacMar Technologies' approach to creating ‘smart’ ship HM&E systems. Certification & Trust A significant barrier to wider adoption of autonomous systems for military applications is a lack of operator trust and rigorous methods to validate that autonomous systems will perform as intended. PacMar Technologies’ researchers are on the cutting-edge of methods for certifying autonomous system performance in dynamic environments and when subjected to novel or unpredicted conditions. Our researchers are solving fundamental challenges of how one can adequately test a system when exhaustive testing is either impractical or provably intractable. » back to top
