Aegis Weapon
System |
|
Aegis is a highly integrated total ship combat system with the Aegis Weapon
System (AWS) as its core. |
C2 TACAID -
Network-Centric Tactical Decision Aid |
|
TACAID presents Tactical Action Officers (TAOs) with an advanced Tactical
Decision Aid (TDA) to assist the TAOs in managing assets in a more coordinated,
distributed manner through a network-centric warfare paradigm. |
CBR Defense |
|
The CBR Defense Division provides expertise for chemical, biological, and radiological defense (CBRD) research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E), modeling, integration, acquisition, and sustainment efforts to protect Navy and joint forces afloat and ashore. Focus areas for the CBRD Division are collective protection, detection, decontamination, modeling and simulation, systems engineering, and integrated base defense. |
Collaborator Common Collaborative Environment (CCE) |
|
The Collaborator Common Collaborative Environment (CCE) is designed to meet
a variety of applications, including shared situational awareness by providing a
Web-based chat room equipped with a synchronized, multilayered, multiprivileged,
multimedia whiteboard. |
DDG 1000 |
|
Developed under the DD(X) destroyer program, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) is the
lead ship of a class of next-generation multi-mission destroyers tailored for
land attack and littoral dominance. |
Distributed
Engineering Plant (DEP) |
|
Enabled by today's newest networking technology, the DEP links the Navy's
shore-based combat systems/C4/hardware test sites, which are located in
geographically disparate facilities across the nation, into a virtual
shore-based battle group that exactly replicates a battle group fighting at sea. |
Directed Energy Warfare Office (DEWO) |
|
Directed Energy (DE) offers
the promise of unique and flexible options to address many of the challenges presented to our war fighters and to augment, not replace conventional capabilities. Recent developments by teams of scientists and engineers at the Naval Surface Warfare
Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) in High Energy Laser (HEL), High Power Microwave (HPM), and Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (CIED) prototype systems have demonstrated military utility in the laboratory, in field exercises at DoD test ranges, and in operational deployments. |
Electromagnetic Railgun |
|
Railguns provide a capability for sustained, offensive power projection,
complementary to missiles and tactical aircraft. |
Global Positioning
System |
|
Originally intended just for navigation, GPS is now used for surveying, time
synchronization, vehicle attitude determination, and numerous other purposes. |
Gunslinger |
|
The Gunslinger Project is the spiral development of a multi-spectral, on-the-move hostile fire detection and counter fire system that provides mobile ground forces in operational environments with real-time and precise location of hostile direct fire as well as the ability to engage the source of the hostile fire in near-real time. |
Human Systems
Performance |
|
The concept of the HSP Assessment Capability team is a synergistic approach
to connect existing Navy infrastructure elements to create a distributed human
performance assessment capability. The genesis of this effort will be the
integration of human performance assessment capabilities across the warfare
command domains, leading to the collection and validation of a defined group of
human performance metrics and the certification of component- and system-level
human performance. |
Integrated Command
Environment (ICE) |
|
The Integrated Command Environment (ICE) and Human Performance Laboratory
(HPL) team and facilities, due to the location at NAVSEA Dahlgren and
partnership with the Center for Surface Combatant Systems (CSCS), provide a
valuable link between science and technology, research and development
activities, and the acquisition and Fleet communities. |
Integration
Warfare Systems Laboratory |
|
The Intergrated Warfare Systems Laboratory (IWSL) is the principle Navy
facility supporting computer program engineering for operational Aegis cruisers
and destroyers. |
Littoral Combat
Ship |
|
The primary missions for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) include countering
littoral small surface craft attacks, diesel submarine threats and asymmetrical
mine threats. In the execution of these multiple missions, the LCS is designed
to deploy with modular Mine Warfare (MIW), Surface Warfare (SUW), or
Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Mission Packages (MP). |
Systems Safety
Engineering |
|
The Systems Safety Engineering Division (Code G70) of the Naval Surface
Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, is the Navy’s premier organization focused on
performing systems safety engineering for all topside naval warfare systems,
including Engagement Systems, Combat Systems, and Platform Systems. |
TRITON - Geographic Information Integration
|
|
Triton is a scalable web application architecture engineered to integrate and visualize data from many sources on a geographic map. The map interface is dynamic and highly interactive, can be linked to databases of information and near real-time data feeds, shared with other users and annotated for briefings, and integrate imagery on-the-fly and dynamic map services from other organizations. In essence, it provides an information integration environment within a single digital map. |
Warfare Analysis |
|
Warfare analysis is an interdisciplinary product line that provides senior
decision support for force design, force planning, science and technology,
engineering, and acquisition of military systems and platforms, architecture
development, and analysis. |
