With a $3.5 million dollar budget, three research facilities, and physicists engaged in unequaled sonar technology for the U.S. Navy, the quiet Underwater Sound Reference Division of the Naval Research Laboratory on Summerlin Avenue, brought high technology and top jobs to the Orlando area.
From theWWII generationof scientists to thespace age entrepreneursof today, the outstanding scientific achievements of the Navy sound lab’s engineers and physicists are recognized internationally. The research and development technology is used by the U.S. Navy to this day.
Learn more about the history of scientific work accomplished at the Bureau of Standards for underwater sound in this excerpt from anoral history interviewwith the sonar physicist who served as Head of the Anechoic Tank Facility at the United States Naval Research Laboratory,Vincent Benedetti.
