Designing, Managing, and Fielding Oceanographic and Navy Systems
Russ Light has performed major roles in the electrical, software, and systems design of numerous ocean-going systems for both the scientific and Navy communities. He came to APL-UW in 1982 and spent the next 5 years working on electronic systems used for torpedo testing targets. This work was followed by a number of projects in the ocean instrumentation field including solid-state data recorders, underwater tracking ranges, and a mine training device for Navy EOD divers.
During the 1990s Mr. Light was the lead electrical and systems engineer for several autonomous undersea vehicles that were used for scientific missions under the arctic ice pack. Most recently he has been the project manager and lead electrical engineer on the AUV Seaglider. In January 2001 he became department chair of the Ocean Engineering Department.
