Geo-Tracking Buoys Revolutionize USCG Missions

In an era where technology transforms the minuscule into the monumental, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) alongside the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is at the helm of a maritime revolution. Geo-tracking technology, once a convenience for locating misplaced car keys, now embarks on a mission to safeguard and serve through the innovation of rugged buoy technologies. This endeavor not only marks a significant leap in maritime safety and efficiency but also symbolizes the synergy between technology and tenacity.  

The Buoy Breakthrough

The USCG, a guardian of the nation's waters, encounters myriad challenges in its valiant efforts to protect and serve. Consequently, from the swift currents of the ocean carrying away critical evidence to the perilous task of marking hazardous zones, the need for precise and reliable geo-tracking has never been more paramount. Therefore, enter the rugged buoys, equipped with the Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS), designed to be the eyes in the skies and the markers in the seas for the USCG.   Building a Better Buoy The journey to innovation is fraught with challenges, yet it is the dedication to overcoming these obstacles that leads to breakthroughs. The USCG's current buoy systems, though functional, fell short in crucial areas - visibility at sea level, reusability, and reliability. Recognizing these gaps, the S&T's Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP) issued a call to arms, or rather, a call to innovation, through the Maritime Object Tracking Technology (MOTT) solicitation. The mission was clear: to develop buoys that could withstand the rigors of deployment from both air and sea while providing accurate and reliable data transmission.   Prototype to Perfection The path from concept to realization is a testament to the collaborative spirit between the USCG and innovative enterprises. Kenautics, Inc., and Morcom International, Inc., emerged as the forerunners in this quest, each bringing their expertise to the table. Through rigorous testing, including dramatic drops from MH-60T helicopters and HC-130J aircraft, the prototypes were put through their paces. The tests were not merely exercises in endurance but pivotal moments in refining the buoys' designs to meet the exacting standards of the USCG missions.  

The Next Wave of Maritime Excellence

The successful live test events of the new geo-tracking buoys herald the dawn of a new era in maritime operations. With improved accuracy, reliability, and visibility, these buoys stand ready to assist in a myriad of USCG missions, from search and rescue operations to safeguarding the nation's coasts. The future of maritime safety and efficiency looks brighter than ever, illuminated by the beacon of innovation that is the rugged geo-tracking buoy.   Charting a Course Towards Safer Seas The collaboration between the USCG and S&T is a shining example of how innovation and dedication can lead to transformative solutions. The new geo-tracking buoys are not just tools but symbols of progress, embodying the spirit of exploration and protection that defines the USCG. As we look to the horizon, the promise of safer and more efficient maritime operations is on the crest of the wave, ready to make a splash.   Sources: THX News & US Department of Homeland Security.

Gear and tech that'll make me strong and skinny

OK, I am not so naïve as to assume that all the fitness apps we have have strapped to our wrists, clipped to our shirts, and filling up our iPhones and Androids -- but it's not far from the truth. Over the last three months I have been so busy with actual work that I have put a pin in the obsessive calorie-counting, the obsessive step-step-stepping, the recording of anything even remotely resembling a workout onto a GPS watch, a fitness tracker, or a smartphone.

I was wondering why I was doing it for all these years now -- until I stopped and quickly added 20-pounds over the holidays.  So, my obsession with Fitbit, Runkeeper, and MyFitnessPal has been an absolutely essential part of my essential weight management and health maintenance program. And, after doing that obsessively, the secret to losing weight is painfully simple: calories in versus calories out on one hand; and, I also believe that the body processes different foods differently:

Paleo, vegan, cutting out processed foods and sugars and carbs and gluten.  And I have been terrible at such things, always finding a caveat, exception, situation, or opportunity to break the fast. That said, now that it's time to act on all of our collective new years resolution, I am looking forward to activating all of the systems I have put into play: Runkeeper, Runtastic, Strava, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, a Fitbit Surge sleep-, fitness-, and GPS-tracker.

Then, there's the obvious next step: accountability. As part of my rich fitness ecosystem of accountability and shame, I have retained a virtual trainer from DailyBurn, Melinda Harvey, and I have connected my fitness apps and my Fitbit to as many friends as possible. One of the most amazing communities I am part of is the Fitbit Challenge community I highlighted here a year ago in Getting Lithe With a Little help from My FitBit Friends.

Now, this is where I jump back into the bandwagon with both feet -- and it's been going pretty well.  I have been running pretty regularly, walking a lot, I have started going to Spin at Biker Barre in DC, and now I am lined up to start CrossFit at CrossFit South Arlington and, and maybe even some workouts at 9Round Fitness if I feel inspired. And then there's my daily bread: Concept2 rowing and Concept2 Challenges and the obsessive swinging of kettlebells at home.

But even these are communities, both online and off.  Right now, I am rowing with my Team Grotto virtual team in the 2016 Virtual Team Challenge sponsored by Concept2. And, if you're trying to get started running, reddit is an endless source of motivation for both Couch to 5k, running, and even general fitness and body weight exercises. And, oddly enough, there's very little to no fat shaming no matter what you've heard about rampant reddit bullying.

My CrossFit god friend, Dan Krueger, is logging a lot of his workouts on an app called the Wendler Log and then sharing it out on Facebook -- and that's one of the biggest component for vigorous accountability with a side order of shaming: sharing your workouts -- and lack thereof -- on Facebook and Twitter. I have even started using IFTTT to share every detail or my Fitbit data, including total steps, floors climbed, calories burned, feet elevation gained, miles traveled, sedentary minutes, lightly active minutes, fairly active minutes and very active minutes -- and this is published automagically every single night thanks to an IFTTT script.

I have even started a brand-spanking-new health and fitness blog called RNNR - Fake It Till You Make It in an attempt to . . . fake it 'til I make it.  And, on that note: WARNING: you'll probably spend more time being a hyper-sedentary geek than actually putting a couple hours of activity in every day, at least 10,000 steps onto the Fitbit, and at least 30-minutes of high-intensity activity every single day getting your sweat on (if you can go for more than a day without showering, you're either really gross or you're not sweating nearly enough on a daily basis).

OK, let's bring this back to business: I guarantee you that if you spend at least a demiheure every day really sweating to the oldies you will surely be able scrub some stress from your life, boil out the frustrations, and armor your back against the inevitable Oy!
