HAMPTON ROADS CHAPTER CHAPTER - Dec 10, 2013 |
Captain on Communication Systems Integration |
Capt. Mark Guzzo, USN, is currently the assistant chief of staff for the C41 Carrier Strike Group. Capt. Guzzo recently participated in the Eisenhower Group's quick turnaround, returning in December of 2012 and deploying again in February. His presentation to the chapter in December stressed the importance of communication systems integration between coalition partners, citing his recent work with a German frigate. One challenge that he envisioned going forward for the Navy is how the old RF system will integrate with their work with partners in the industry side. Capt. Guzzo believes that for the Navy to successfully operate under new systems, which in turn require less people, the individuals holding those positions will have to possess a superior level of technical expertise. |
