"In 1975, while I was in private praC1ice as a struC1ural design consultant, the Navy offered me a direct commission, no Officer Candidate School and a four-year total obligation in Southern Spain if I would join," he said. The new Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake Public Works officer relieved Capt. James R. Williams in June, but didn-t actually start running the department until July, after attending a week-long conference in Washington, D.C. His main goals at China Lake are to improve customer ser- vices, thereby improving the department's image and to improve the quality of life for everyone living and working ahoard NAWS China Lake. to China Lake. As a member of the Civil Engineer Corps, Ritchie has a num- ber of subspecialties, including being a joint services officer and a Seabee Warfare Combat Specialist. He also has several profcs- sional designations, including being a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia. He is also a member of the Society of American Military Engineers and has a master's of science in civil engineering from Purdue Universiry, thanks to the Department ofthe Navy. "At the end of my (original) four years, when I was about to go home, the Navy said, 'If you will stick around, we will pay for a master's degree program at any school you can get yourself accepted into if you will give us back too years for everyone year of schooling.'" It was an offer he couldn't refuse. After his schooling, Ritchie was assigned to Diego Garcia, where he spent 15 months in the Indian Ocean during the Iranian hostage crisis.

Bill Walters and Brad Harlow received the award from Sterling Haaland, NAWCWPNS Deputy Commander for R&D, in a surprise ceremony in the Intercept Weapons Department office August 19. "This award is presented in recogni- tion of your outstanding design efforts on the AIM-9M-8/9 retrofit program:' Haaland told Walters. "Your structured _' approach to engineering analysis and concern about the effect of changes on production are fine examples of our commitment to life cycle and neet sup- port. You were noted by our sponsors as having presented the 'best, most easily understood briefing' they have ever had on the subjeC1." Walters noted he began working on the Sidewinder upgrade in 1991. Basical- ly, Walters said, AIM-9M-8 /9 is an upgrade of the AIM-9M-213, the Sidewinder being uscd in the ncct, today. The upgrade involved working on the missile's electronic circuits... as the Sidewinder-9M is a hardware missile, with no real software in it. "The front of the missile has three sections," Walters explained, "the seeker, which is the missile's eyeballs; the elec- tronics, which is the brain; and the servo, which controls the fins so it can ny. We didn't touch the scrvo or the eyeballs for the most part, just the electronics, which tells the missile where to look, ny and so fonh." Walters noted this was a unique pro- gram. "Even though this was a joint pro- , gram, the majority of the work was done at China Lake," Walters said. " It started from an operational requi rement and then evolved all the way through to oper- ational evaluation. While we did some testing at Tyndall Air Force Base and at Please see R&D AWARDS.
