Dale Groutage
Dale Groutage (born 1944) is an American engineer who ran in 2006 as the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate in Wyoming against incumbent Senator Craig Thomas.[1] For details on the race, see Wyoming United States Senate election, 2006.
Groutage's main focus during this 2006 senate race was "Energy!" See for example: [1], [2], [3] & [4].
Groutage was raised in Reliance, Wyoming, a poverty-stricken coal camp in the state's southwestern desert. His childhood reading inspired him to pursue a better life, leading to a Bachelor of Science, a Master of Science, and a Ph.D in science and engineering from the University of Wyoming.[1]
During the Cold War, Groutage led several teams of U.S. scientists in the Navy, Air Force and Army, developing weapons systems and nuclear submarines.[1] In 2001, he was one of ten winners of that year's Federal Engineer of the Year Award, given by the National Society of Professional Engineers.[1]
Our Nation’s Submarine Force consists of two types of Submarines —the SSN submarines, which are the Fast-Attack Aircraft Carrier protecting Submarines, and the SSBNs, which are the Nuclear Missile ICBM launching Submarines. The United States has a “Triad” which is the Strategic Nuclear Deterrent consisting of B-52 Bombers, Ground Launched ICBMs and the SSBN Submarines. The most powerful leg in this “Triad” is the SSBN Submarines. These submarines — SSN and SSBN — must be super quite or they are worthless. However when they are super quiet, they protect the United States above all other military armaments. Without super quiet Submarines, the United States would have lost the cold war. Dr. Dale Groutage was a lead scientist at the U.S. Navy Laboratory, The David Taylor Research Center, working alongside other Navy scientists to make our Nation’s Submarines super quiet.
While Groutage was employed as a scientist for the U.S. Navy’s David Taylor Research Center, an international conference was convened and Dr. Groutage was a Co-Chair responsible for the Technical Program of this IEEE signal processing conference (called a workshop). The primary objective of this International IEEE conference was to share the cutting-edge technology being developed by not only the U.S. Navy, but also by academia represented from universities around the world.
One of Dr. Groutage’s major contributions to the sciences was the development of a new matrix decomposition. Up until the new invention by Groutage, the world had only the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method for decomposing a matrix. Feature extraction of underwater acoustical signals and noises is paramount to classify an underwater sound. Dr. Groutage’s work on submarine silencing required feature extraction of underwater acoustic signals and something more advanced than the conventional SVD was needed. Through his efforts, Dr. Groutage invented the Transformed Singular Value Decomposition (TSVD), which is based on transforming the singular vectors along their maxima. Because of this revolutionary development by Dr. Groutage, Academia recognized its value and included it in text books used at universities around the world.
It was not only academia that recognized the value of Groutage's new invention, but also NASA. Groutage was contacted by NASA and was asked to partner in a joint venture between the U.S. Navy and NASA. Dale Groutage worked with NASA scientists to develop a new technology for identification and classification of aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic dynamics used to design the next generation NASA airframes — NASA Report Document ID 20010043991, Nonstationary Dynamics Data Analysis with Wavelet-SVD Filtering by Marty Brenner and Dale Groutage.
In 2004 — for his service to his county during the Cold War years as a senior scientist for the U.S. Navy helping the U.S defeat the Soviet Union — Groutage was inducted into the University of Wyoming Engineering Hall of Fame.
Now retired, Groutage, the former U.S. Navy Senior Scientist, the U.S. Senate Candidate for the State of Wyoming in 2006 and the adjunct professor for the University of California and the University of Washington lives on a small ranch in Lander, Wyoming. He has written a series of books, The Kopaz Series, that are sold around the world.
