Tide Talks Collaboration with the Ventura Tech Bridge
On April 30, 2025, The SOMD Tech Bridge came together with the Ventura Tech Bridge for a collaborative discussion between the Airborne Electronic Attack Systems Program Office (PMA-234) and Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD). This was a joint discussion between Captain David “Roto” Rueter, Program Manager, PMA-234, and L. Anthony Deshotel, NAWCWD Mission Information and Data Systems Team Lead, in which they chatted about the intricacies of their roles within the Naval Aviation Enterprise, how they collaborate together, and the ways they work with industry and academia to solve problems, all to support the warfighter. This hybrid event took place both virtually and in person.
The Airborne Electronic Attack Systems Program Office, PMA-234, is responsible for acquiring, delivering, and sustaining Airborne Electronic Attack systems and providing combatant commanders with Electronic Warfare capabilities that critically enable operational mission success.
NAWCWD is an organization within NAVAIR dedicated to maintaining a center of excellence in weapons development for the Department of the Navy (DoN). NAWCWD primarily operates in two Southern California locations: China Lake and Point Mugu. NAWCWD boasts a variety of state-of-the-art and one-of-a-kind laboratories and facilities that enable them to deliver unparalleled weapons research, development, acquisition, test, and evaluation for the nation’s warfighters, and offers 24/7 warfighter support to ensure the on-the-ground service member has the support they need to defend the nation at home and at sea.
