CNA analysis showed a U.S. military counter-IED (improvised explosive device) tactic was saving soldiers from roadside bombs in Iraq and led to its expansion.

that key lay in statistical analysis. Michlovich had used it for his physics Ph.D. dissertation, to compare concentrations of rare elements in meteorites. Now, he wanted to use it to find the “signal

Navy impacts on whales and marine mammals are the subject of more than 20 CNA research projects, examining correlations between sonar activity and strandings.

, who holds a Ph.D. in physical oceanography, says that where the underwater topography is steep, and whales forage close to shore, ships operating just seaward of whales might endanger them. "You ping

Solving a Marine Corps Recruiting Mystery: The ASVAB Test

IRVING SHAKNOV: A SINGULAR LIFE /images/About-Us/History/Shaknov-Irving-Korea-cropped.jpg Irving Shaknov: A Singular Life By the age of 28, Irving Shaknov already had more honors than most men could ever hope for: a Bronze Star for Valor in World War II, a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University, and a paper published in the prestigious Physical Review, describing an experiment he and his professor had conducted that would become known as one of the seminal tests of quantum physics. Another honor lay ahead, one that could never be wished upon such a promising young man. Soon after

Making an Impossible Blockade of Nazi Ships Possible

MAKING AN IMPOSSIBLE BLOCKADE OF NAZI SHIPS POSSIBLE /images/About-Us/History/blockade-Burgenland-sinking-World-War-II.jpg Making an Impossible Blockade of Nazi Ships Possible In late 1943, the U.S. Navy received word that five German freighters would be steaming up through the South Atlantic. They were loaded with enough tin and rubber from Asia to meet the needs of the Nazi war machine for another 18 months. They had to be stopped. The task of devising a blockade to cover the width of the ocean fell to a Ph.D. chemist named Jacinto “Jay” Steinhardt, sent by the Antisubmarine Warfare

coming in from the cold: The Cold War at Sea

/our-media/podcasts/coming-in-from-the-cold/2

In this episode of Coming in from the Cold, Bill welcomes Rear Admiral Mike McDevitt (Ret.) and Commander Steve Wills (Ret.) to discuss the Maritime Strategy of the 1980s. McDevitt and Wills recall some of the key players surrounding the development of the Maritime Strategy. This includes CNA analysts who used open-source data to hypothesize that the goal of the Soviet Navy was to protect their ballistic missile submarines. Additionally, they point to Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, who helped convince the Reagan administration that a 600-ship fleet was necessary to challenge the Soviet Navy. Finally, the group discusses the key role that perception played in the Maritime Strategy, enhancing deterrence by reinforcing in the Soviet mind the idea that they could not win a war with the United States.

justice talks: Curbing The Spread of Covid-19 in Jails: Innovative approaches for protecting staff and incarcerated people

/our-media/podcasts/justice-talks/2

In our previous Justice Talks podcast, we discussed how the court system has been impacted by COVID-19, and innovative ways practitioners across the country are adapting to continue their work during the pandemic. This time on Justice Talks, we spoke with two practitioners from the corrections field about the impact the Coronavirus has had on their officers and incarcerated populations specifically in a jail setting, and out-of-the-box ways they’re working to keep these populations safe during the pandemic.
