NAS Division Cadet Team with Instructor Mack competing in CyberPatriot 2017

CyberPatriot is a youth outreach program of the Air Force Association sponsored by Northrop Grumman that trains youth in the practical applications of computer network defense within a competitive framework. The competition has a tournament-style structure with a series of web-based competition rounds that culminate in the National Finals Competition in Washington, D.C. every March.

Cyber Warfare Training: Computer Emergency Readiness Teams (CERTs) will learn computer and network installation, configuration and security best practices, with the use of Virtual Machines and packet tracker scenarios. The training prepares cadets for cyber-security, STEM careers and the AFA CyberPatriot competition. Cadets also learn about the technologies used to run Google, Facebook and Steam.

In 2011, USNSCC established a partnership with the Office of Naval Research that allows cadets to participate in their SeaPerch program. The SeaPerch program is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips cadets with the resources they need to build an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Building a SeaPerch ROV teaches basic skills in ship and submarine design, and encourages cadets to explore concepts in naval architecture and ocean engineering.

Starting in the Spring of 2019 NAS Richmond Division will participate as a team alongside three other high school teams to build a John Boat at the Barnacle Historic State Park in Coconut Grove, Miami, FL. The cadets will learn how to build and operate these historic wooden paddle boats that were used in South Florida. Instruction and guidance will be provided by the Coconut Grove Chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association (Ralph Middleton Munroe ).
