Sabre Systems, Inc. Supports Historic USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) Arrested Landing and Electromagnetic Launch Systems
The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), the first new US aircraft carrier designed in 40 years, is a reflection of modern naval engineering. For the past 60 years, aircraft carriers have launched fixed-wing aircraft using steam catapults, complicated systems requiring large crews to operate and maintain. That all changed on July 28, 2017 when the USS Gerald R. Ford successfully laun
ched its first aircraft using an electromagnetic catapult. History was made when Commander Jamie Struck successfully landed an F/A-18F Super Hornet aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford with the first arrested landing using the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system and again when he launched from the flight deck by the Electromagnetic Launch System (EMALS).
Engineers and technical experts from Sabre Systems, Inc.’s Lakehurst, NJ office supported the Navy’s ship integration and testing teams for the new AAG and EMAL systems. A software controlled system, AAG offers greater reliability and safety to a wider range of aircraft. According to the US Navy, the built in testing and dialogistic features deliver reliable and easier to maintain systems with a higher launch energy capacity than previous systems.
According to Sabre’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Glen Ives, “We are so proud of the Sabre professionals who contributed so importantly to this historical Naval Aviation milestone. Their hard work and tireless commitment reflect Sabre’s dedication to naval engineering and innovation and ultimately in the safety of our warfighters who rely on these critical systems.” Sabre Systems congratulates the crew of the CVN 78 and Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) on this accomplishment. Bravo Zulu!
Sabre Systems, Inc. is proud to have contributed to the historic naval achievement of the USS Gerald R. Ford’s first arrested landing and electromagnetic launch.

Sabre Presents Edward Collier Scholarship Award
At a very special scholarship luncheon, Sabre Systems, Inc. humbly presented The Chief Warrant Officer 4 Edward Fitzgerald Collier United States Marine Corps Memorial Scholarship Award to Lauren Beal, daughter of Sabre Contracts Administrator, Susan Beal. Sabre employee, Edward Collier, passed away earlier this year. This scholarship 
was created to honor his memory by awarding a deserving student pursuing a degree in one of the STEM disciplines, and embodying the caring and passionate spirit of Ed. Ed’s wife and family attended the event, which took place on July 6, 2017 in the Aberdeen, Maryland office. Ed’s wife, Gwen Collier, said, “We are honored that through this memorial scholarship his legacy will continue to bless others.”
Lauren Beal, an incoming freshman of Marist College majoring in Medical Technology, was honored to receive this award in its first year. Her parents, Susan and Phil Beal, said of the event, “Meeting Gwen Collier and her children and grandchildren last week was an unbelievable experience. They embraced us instantly and accepted our family as a new part of their family. We are so blessed that our daughter Lauren was selected for this incredible award in Ed’s memory.”
Also in attendance was Sabre Chairman and CEO, Phil Jaurigue. Mr. Jaurigue explained, “It was a humbling feeling to see the Beal and Collier families meet on such a special occasion. I’m delighted that we are able to honor Ed’s memory in such a meaningful way. Ms. Beal represents the very finest of the Class of 2017 while she continues her battle with Type I Diabetes and her efforts to raise funds and awareness of the disease. The Beals and Colliers will be forever linked, and I feel blessed to have been able to share time with both families. I’m sure Ed would have been proud, and I look forward to honoring future scholarship winners.”
President and COO, Glen Ives adds, “Our (Chief Warrant Officer 4) CWO4 Edward Fitzgerald Collier, United States Marine Corps Memorial Scholarship is especially meaningful for many at Sabre because it is named for a true friend, and colleague who represented the very best of our country and our company. Ed’s distinguished service as a United States Marine for over 26 years and his dedicated support of the Sabre team and customers for over 7 years, were always characterized by his uncompromising values of honor, courage, and commitment. What is especially gratifying, is how Lauren and the Beal family epitomize those values that Ed treasured and lived. I was very touched by the Collier and Beal families, and the way they seemed to bond through this award. It was a truly great day for the Colliers, the Beals, and our entire Sabre family… and I could not have been more proud to be part of ensuring Ed’s legacy and memory through such a promising young professional like Lauren.”
Ed Collier served as a United States Marine for 26 years, and was a member of the NAVAIR Expeditionary Airfields (EAF) Program Management team for over 7 years.

Sabre Sponsored Drexel Senior Design Team 54
Sabre was honored to provide a $1,000 sponsorship to Drexel University Senior Design team 54, led by Sabre Director of S&T Partnerships, Robert Carullo. Mr. Carullo explained, “The team’s mission was to deliver a unique, electrically powered ultralight aircraft with a flight stabilization program that is significantly safer for the operator, thus attracting people to the ultralight aircraft community”. 
The standard ultralight aircraft is described as weighing less than 254 pounds of empty weight, having a fuel capacity of 5 U.S. gallons, and being equipped with only one seat. Additionally, this type of aircraft normally has a power off stall speed which does not exceed 24 knots of calibrated airspeed, and no more than 55 knots of calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight. The aircraft is not capable of transporting people or goods, but is used for recreational purposes. It also cannot fly in congested areas or controlled airspaces. In efforts to improve the functionality and design of the aircraft, team 54 strived to create an efficient, cost-effective, and safe project.
Aside from being electrically powered, team 54 also incorporated a design with twin motor configuration, carbon fiber propellers, enclosed fuselage, a flight stabilization program, autopilot and GPS, and a more durable structure. Improvements from the original model would specifically include an enhanced wing design, as well as an enhanced rib design. Many of these features would also allow for the pilot of the model to require no experience before flying.
Sabre’s sponsorship enabled the team to build a full size prototype airframe with a gasoline powered motor for flight test, and conduct ground runs and flight tests. Upon final completion, team 54’s fixed wing ultralight aircraft will become an anomaly, and lead the potential market of recreational flight; a market valued around $301.62 million in 2015, and estimated at $389.26 million by 2020.
Drexel University Senior Design Coordinator, Dr. John Lacontora, quoted, “This was an outstanding project that achieved all the goals of the Senior Design Program for our student teams. They conducted Program Management, Fiscal Management, Market Research, Design, Prototyping and Testing. We thank Sabre Systems for their role in enabling this successful project.”
Sabre Hosts Hackathon
At the end of April, Sabre Systems, Inc.’s subject matter technical experts from across the company gathered virtually to help improve and expand the Disaster Planning and Response (DP&R) tool created by two Sabre employees. What was forecasted to be an experiential event transformed into a widespread success with contributions that have vastly improved its functionality. With the help of the participants, the scope and functionality of the tool was greatly expanded and improved upon. The volunteers took time out of their busy schedules and personal lives to contribute in a meaningful way in what turned out to be a profound success.
One of the key focus areas of the DP&R app is to help first responders and relief workers navigate unfamiliar cities, towns, and states as they lend hand after natural disasters and other events that cause widespread destruction. The enhancements made to the tool will help improve response times and response effectiveness.
Sabre President and Chief Operating Officer Glen Ives was blown away by the success of the event, but not the least bit surprised by the teams dedication to helping one another. After the event ended, Glen said “What a Hackathon! And what a true pleasure to be able to say that our Sabre team was able to host a tremendously successful event where we shared many creative and resourceful ideas to help enhance our Disaster Planning App … a tool that will potentially help save lives and homes when disasters hit. I was so excited to take part and learn. And the neat part was not only learning from a technology perspective, but learning just how many incredibly bright, dedicated and in many cases, brilliant, Sabre “Pros” we have on our team. Something very special to have the opportunity to exchange neat ideas, work with and have fun with such a talented group of people. Thank you sincerely to all of our Hackathon players!”
The time and effort that was dedicated to the Hackathon solidifies one of the foundational elements of Sabre; through teamwork and innovation, Sabre “Pros” can come together to make a truly meaningful impact on Sabre’s commitment to quality and excellence. Exceptionally well done!

Sabre Polar Plunge
On a co
ld, foggy Saturday morning in February, Sabre employees took the “plunge” in the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for the Special Olympics! The Polar Plunge, was held in Seaside Heights, New Jersey on February 25th to raise money in order to help the Special Olympics provide completely free services like year-round sports training, competition, leadership opportunities, and health screenings. More than 25,000 athletes utilize these free services, making fundraisers like Polar Plunge extremely important.
Group Vice President of the Northeast Region, Bob Lake, and Autocad Technician of the Northeast Region, Steven Leonard, organized the event. They accompanied Sabre employees Kevin Henderson, James McGuiness, Fred Kuster, and Nikki Everett, along with family and friends, to represent the Sabre Nor’Easters team. The event itself raised a whopping $1.86 million dollars, and the Sabre Nor’Easters team alone raised $1,775 dollars. Senior Accountant and plunger for Sabre, Nikki Everett, raised $515 dollars; the most out of the entire Sabre team!
Ms. Everett described how “many of the plungers were in costumes”, and even “had themes in their groups”. That was an enjoyable addition, and certainly made the experience more than just a dip in some icy water. After the crowds of participants were admitted to the beach, organizers closed off the entrance so that only plungers could enter, making the event much more special. Another plus to the event was that some of the Sabre employees met each other for the first time. For example, Ms. Everett finally met some of the employees that work “on base”, allowing her to connect with a few Sabre co-workers that she would not normally see. After gathering and getting pumped up for the “plunge”, Sabre employees made their way to the frigid water and jumped right in! Nikki explained how the experience as a whole was “exciting and fulfilling”. It gave everyone involved a chance to build camaraderie with co-workers, while also participating in a good cause.
Overall, Sabre strives to support events like the Polar Plunge that aim to provide opportunities to those who may not have them readily available. As a company that values character, Sabre Systems, Inc. continues to urge its employees to participate in charitable events and give back. We commend our employees for upholding these standards, and contributing to the success of fundraisers like Polar Plunge.
