Support Staff
In addition to these staff members, we are supported by the very knowledgeable HI-TEST Laboratories Engineering Department and handfuls of instructors who complement our Shock Courses. Our annual Smyposium is modeled and organized by a competent group of members called the Technical Advisory Group with representatives from NAVSEA Headquarters, NSWC and NUWC, Air Force Research Laboratory, IDA, major shipyards, and large and small DoD contractors.
