and mission, WDI enables


young employees to go all the way from paper design through fabrication and analysis, to test and data reduction for all types of tactical propulsion systems. In using these in-house assets for hard- ware-centric programs, WDI is growing the next generation of experts from our young engineers and scientists.


On a personal note, I am proud of the WDI Team and enthusiastic about how they have owned this program. Our leadership has taken the program to the next


oping future engineers. Needless to say, I am even more proud of the young engineers who have and will accept the challenges and take those first big steps in their careers.
