U.S. Senators Joe Donnelly and Todd Young as well as U.S. Representative Larry Bucshon hosted Secretary of the Navy, Richard Spencer, Friday at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane. Secretary Spencer visited Crane to see the installation first-hand and to hear directly from Hoosiers working in support of service members and the nation’s security.
During the visit, Secretary Spencer took in-depth tours of NSWC Crane’s three mission areas – Expeditionary Warfare, Electronic Warfare and Strategic Missions – and saw first hand the advanced technology and innovative solutions that NSWC Crane provides in support of the men and women of the Armed Forces.
Spencer had the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the relevance of NSWC Crane’s missions to the National Defense Strategy, including specific briefings on the Trusted and Assured Microelectronics, Hypersonics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Airborne Electronic Attack capabilities that Crane provides directly to the fleet.
