Shooters aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) test a catapult capacity selector valve (CSV) calculator provided by the Office of Naval Research during flight operations. The CSV calculator is a personal digital assistant that would replace paper lookup tables and allow flight deck personnel to compute the proper settings for an aircraft carrier steam catapult. The device is being provided through the TechSolutions program, a rapid-response technology development program that funds government laboratories to produce prototype solutions for problems identified by Sailors and Marines.
