Naval Surface Warfare Center
NSWC Dahlgren, Va. (Aug. 19, 2004) - Naval reservists, scientists and engineers work in the Integrated Command Environment (ICE) Human Performance laboratory located at NSWC Dahlgren, Va. The ICE lab focuses on the Navy's evolving human performance and human systems integration (HSI) testing

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Warfare Centers are composed of the Naval Surface Warfare Centers (NSWC) and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC). They operate in a seamless, integrated manner, and they collaborate with customers using a common work assignment process to get the right work to the right Warfare Center site. Together, the two Warfare Center Divisions work together to attempt to improve business processes to become more efficient, and have shifted from local to national technical leadership.

NAVSEA Warfare Centers supply the technical operations, people, technology, engineering services and products needed to equip and support the Fleet and meet the warfighter's needs. The Warfare Centers are the Navy's principal Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) assessment activity for surface ship and submarine systems and subsystems. Additionally, the Warfare Centers provide depot maintenance and In-Service Engineering support to ensure that the systems fielded today perform consistently and reliably in the future.

NSWC consists of 10 sites or locations:

The largest of the Navy's five systems commands, NAVSEA engineers build and support America's Fleet of ships and combat systems. Accounting for nearly one-fifth of the Navy's budget, NAVSEA manages more than 150 acquisition programs and has more than 53,000 civilian and military employees at 33 activities in 16 states.
