WELCOME

For more than 70 years, the Naval SurfaceWarfare Center (NAVSWC) and its commu-nity neighbors in Virginia's Northern Neckand southern Maryland have prospered in amuch-treasured partnership that is secured bythe common bonds of friendship, patriotism,national defense, and economics. Together, wehave a lot to be proud of-this community'smilitary and civilians have emulated thehighest standard of outstanding achievementto safeguard America's technological edge.

The history of the past seven decades hasbeen punctuated by certain and steady pro-gress for both the installation and its commu-nity neighbors as NAVSWC grew from a smallproving ground for testing naval guns to one ofthe largest research and development (R&D)centers in the United States. The history of thefuture is certain to be punctuated by the hopesand dreams of even more steady progress asNAVSWC excels to its missions to be the prin-cipal Navy RDT&E Center for surface shipcombat systems, ordnance, mines, and strategicsystems support.

NAVSWC (formerly the Naval SurfaceWeapons Center) was established in 1974 withthe merger of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory(NOL) at White Oak, Maryland and the NavalWeapons Laboratory (NWL) at Dahlgren, Vir-ginia. This consolidation of human resources,facilities, and research, development, test, andevaluation (RDT&E) in support of the Fleetenhances the tradition of excellence at eachlaboratory.

Dahlgren, the Center's headquarters, has aland area of 4300 acres that includes Potomacshoreline and a 25-mile downriver range for

projectile testing. White Oak encompasses 730acres. The two sites offer unique test facilities(e.g., anechoic chamber, hydroballistics tank,magnetic ships facilities, etc.). NAVSWC oper-ates major field activities (Ft. Lauderdale,Florida, Wallops Island, Virginia; and Ft.Monroe, Virginia) where hardware is testedand evaluated under conditions that simulatethose encountered at sea.

The industrially funded Center performstechnical support for customers in the Navyand other defense activities that need technicalproducts and services for ship combat systems,ordnance, naval mines, and strategic systems.NAVSWC, with its primary mission in surfacewarfare, complements other Navy facilitiesthat have primary missions in air warfare,underwater warfare, naval vehicles, etc.

NAVSWC has the diverse and complex mixof facilities required to support R&D projects:chemistry, plastics, metallurgy, and explosiveslaboratories; hydroballistic, hydroacoustic, andaerodynamic facilities; electromagnetic andenvironmental simulation facilities; and com-bat/weapon systems integration and evalua-tion facilities.

The Center is responsible for Navy-wideleadership in the following areas: surface shipcombat systems engineering and integration;surface warfare analysis; surface ship elec-tromagnetic/electro-optic reconnaissance andsearch systems; surface ship gun and missilesystems; mine, torpedo, projectile, and missilewarheads; surface ship electronic warfare;Navy strategic systems targeting, fire control,and reentry systems; mines, nuclear weaponseffects, and surface ship biological and chemi-cal warfare systems; directed energy weaponsystems; explosives (principally research); andmine, torpedo, and projectile fuzes.

Under the joint leadership of a militaryCommander and a civilian Technical Director,NAVSWC's work draws on many disciplines tohelp advance the technologies and innovationsthat will be required for the future.



CAPT ROBERT P. FUSCALDO, USNCOMMANDERNAVSWC

CAPT Robert P. Fuscaldo assumed commandof NAVSWC on 30 June 1988 following a touras Deputy Program Manager for the AEGISShipbuilding Program, Naval Sea SystemsCommand (NAVSEA). A native of Tuckahoe,New York, he entered the U.S. Navy throughthe NROTC program at the University ofNotre Dame, where he earned a Bachelor ofScience degree in chemical engineering in1961. He is also a graduate of the U.S. NavalPostgraduate School (ordnance engineering) inMonterey, California and the IndustrialCollege of the Armed Services at NationalDefense University.

CAPT Fuscaldo's early Navy experienceincluded tours aboard amphibious ships anddestroyers where he participated in wargam-ing and Antisubmarine Warfare operationswith Hunter-Killer Group Alpha. He also serv-ed in the Bureau of Naval Personnel TrainingDirectorate. In 1967 and 1968, CAPT Fuscaldo

commanded a river patrol boat squadron inVietnam that operated primarily on the riversand canals of II and IV corps. He later servedfor 27 months as Damage Control Officeraboard USS KITTY HAWK (CV 63), whichwas deployed during much of that time toYankee Station off the coast of Vietnam.

In 1972, he reported to the Naval WeaponsSupport Center (NWSC), Crane, Indiana asDirector of Ordnance, responsible for weaponsproduction. CAPT Fuscaldo then returned tosea, commanding USS KISKA (AE 35), whichwas the Navy's newest ammunition ship.

Following his first tour of duty at NAV-SWC, Dahlgren as Assistant for Military Ap-plications in the Weapons Systems Depart-ment, he served as Assistant Chief of Staff forOperations to Commander, Surface Group,Western Pacific (CTF 73 and 75) in the Philip-pines. There he was responsible for the opera-tions of 77 ships and coordinated activitiesconcerned with Fleet exercises, battle readi-ness, logistics, and training. These operationsextended from the Persian Gulf to the Inter-national Dateline and from the Sea of Okhotskto Australia. In 1983, as Executive Assistantto Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command,he took part in getting the new DDG 51ARLEIGH BURKE class approved.

CAPT Fuscaldo's decorations include theBronze Star with Combat V; the MeritoriousService Medal (three awards); the Navy Com-mendation Medal with gold star; CombatAction Ribbon, Presidential Unit Citation;Navy Unit Citation (three awards); and vari-ous service and campaign ribbons.

AEGIS

The AEGIS Combat System is an inte-grated array of weapons and sensors that en-ables an AEGIS ship to handle any enemythreat from air, on sea, and under sea. At thecore of the combat system is the AEGISWeapon System Mk 7 that provides primarydefense against missiles and aircraft. Thesystem is based upon the SPY radar that auto-matically detects and tracks virtually every-thing that is flying out to beyond 200 miles.

NAVSWC has two primary roles relatingto AEGIS:

* Technicai Direction Agent-Responsibili-ties in Combat System Engineering

* Lifetime Support Engineering Agent-Computer program development for thesystem and several components and a vari-ety of other acquisition and engineeringsupport functions

Throughout the DESERT SHIELD andDESERT STORM operations, NAVSWC hascarried out a number of tasks aimed primarilyat fine tuning the AEGIS ships for the parti-cular set of enemy threats found in the PersianGulf area. This fine tuning also involved ad-justment for the peculiarities of the PersianGulf environment. These efforts have involvedseveral trips to that area by NAVSWC andcontractor personnel to gather data, installcomputer programs, brief crews, and performvarious other tasks.

Chemical/Biological WarfareDefense

NAVSWC is the Navy's lead laboratory forwork in the area of defense against chemicaland biological warfare. Since Iraq has (and isknown to have used) this type of weapon, wehave played a major and very important role inthe Navy and Marine Corps operations in thePersian Gulf area.

1XREPORT TO THE COMMUNITYNaval Surface Warfare Center

NAVSWC has assisted our forces in ana-lyzing and understanding the nature of thethreat and in understanding and predictingthe nature of possible attacks. In some cases,we have provided special equipment and train-ing to SEAL, EOD, and other Navy and MarineCorps special units. We have provided decon-tamination and casualty handling training toFleet medical personnel. Also, we have madesure that our civilians going to the PersianGulf have been properly trained and equipped.

NAVSWC is frequently called upon forconsultation and advice and to represent theNavy in joint efforts in this area.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

Modern military operations rely heavily ona vast array of electromagnetic equipment,transmitters, and receivers. If not carefully de-signed and protected, these electromagneticdevices can interfere with each other, whichcreates severe safety and operability problems.NAVSWC is widely recognized for its expertiseand specialized equipment for detecting, iden-tifying, and solving electromagnetic compati-bility problems.

NAVSWC assisted several ships operatingin the Persian Gulf that were experiencingproblems (or potential problems) of an electro-magnetic compatibility nature: USS THEO-DORE ROOSEVELT, USS MOOSBRUGGER,and USS LASALLE. Support has also beenprovided for certain aircraft systems andcertain land-based equipment.

Electronic Warfare

NAVSWC provides research, development,testing, and operational support for the elec-tronic warfare systems onboard surface Navyships. These systems provide protection for ourships against antiship missiles and providecountermeasures to deny missile launch infor-mation to the missile launching platforms.The Center is the primary Navy Laboratory inthis important element of naval warfare.

Electronic warfare equipment and techni-ques have been heavily employed in DESERTSTORM. NAVSWC has played a major role inassisting the U.S. Fleet, the Marine Corps, andsome of the allied forces; e.g., we upgraded cer-tain software to enhance the electromagneticcountermeasures capability and delivered it toships in the Persian Gulf area, developed anddelivered certain software to the Atlantic In-telligence Command, developed and deliveredspecial decoy systems to support the MarineCorps, and provided updated threat informa-tion to the Saudis.

Explosives/Warheads

NAVSWC has a major leadership role inEnergetic Materials R&D and Undersea Wea-pons Warhead Technology. We have extensiveexplosives chemistry laboratories and facilitiesthat include a 50-pound explosive test cham-ber. NAVSWC developed most of the NavyPlastic Bonded Explosives (PBXs) currently inuse.

Virtually all of the weapons being used bythe Navy in the DESERT STORM operationand some of the weapons used by the otherservices contain explosives developed byNAVSWC.

Guns

NAVSWC has Navy-wide leadership onsurface ship gun systems. Our recent work hasincluded developing an Extended-Range Pro-jectile, Gunfire Control System, and other sup-port services for the 16-Inch Guns that havebeen used so successfully by the battleshipsWISCONSIN and MISSOURI in the DESERTSTORM operation. We have also providedlethality and effectiveness information to helpdefeat Iraqi patrol boats and other equipment.



Mines

NAVSWC is the Navy's principal technicalagent for mine systems. Since the founding ofthe White Oak site in 1918 (Mine Laboratory),we have been the Design Agent or TechnicalDevelopment Agent for all of the mines in theNavy's inventory.

In a related program area, we also developcertain weapons and equipment for theSEALS.

In the DESERT STORM operation, NAV-SWC helped improve the Fleet's ability to dealwith enemy mines and provided certain assis-tance to the SEALS, which included informa-tion on how to defeat the guided missile patrolboats Iraq captured from Kuwait.

Missiles

NAVSWC is the principal Navy activityfor research, concept definition, development,integration, test, and evaluation of surfaceship-launched missile systems. This leads to avariety of roles on several missile systems; e.g.,we are the Principal Support Laboratory forTOMAHAWK Cruise Missile Weapon Systemswith primary emphasis on software develop-ment and systems engineering for WeaponsControl Systems.

The major contribution made by TOMA-HAWK to DESERT STORM has been widelyreported by the television and print media.NAVSWC and its contractors have playedimportant roles in the success of this system.


NAVAL SPACE COMMAND(NAVSPACECOM)

Exploiting the High Ground

As the first U.S. Carrier Battle Groups con-verged on the Middle East in response to Iraq'sinvasion of Kuwait on 2 August 90, NAV-SPACECOM had already begun mobilizing awide array of space-based resources to supportwhat would come to be known as operationDESERT SHIELD and, later, operation DE-SERT STORM.

With direction from NAVSPACECOM,critical communications satellite systems werereconfigured to improve command and control.Using tactical intelligence derived from anumber of space resources, NAVSPACECOMbegan transmitting up-to-the-minute reportson the changing threat directly to the BattleGroup commanders.

Components of the 2nd Marine AircraftWing deployed to the Persian Gulf area workedwith NAVSPACECOM to become the first U.S.military forces to use a new class of light-weight communications satellites for dedicatedoperational support.

To provide Navy and Marine Corps forcesin the theater with an up-to-date tactical pict-ure of the region's desert topography, beach-heads, and force deployments, NAVSPACE-COM assisted U. S. Central Command in col-lecting and distributing critical environmentaldata from earth-imaging satellites.

The Naval Space Operations Center, located withinNAVSPACECOMs headquarters facility at Dahlgren, isstaffed around the clock to enable the command to provideeffective space support to naval forces


Naval Space Command

Before USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWERand USS INDEPENDENCE and elements oftheir Battle Groups arrived in the theater,NAVSPACECOM had ensured that the highground of space was offering a complete spec-trum of operational support to deployed tac-tical commanders.

Established by the Secretary of the Navyin 1983, NAVSPACECOM is today the center-point of Navy and Marine Corps operationalefforts to provide responsive tactical space sys-tems support to deployed naval forces. Thecommand operates as both the naval com-ponent of the United States Space Commandand as a second-echelon command reporting tothe Chief of Naval Operations and the Com-mandant of the Marine Corps.

Without a doubt, space is a vital highground to tactical elements of our naval forces.In it, we have deployed satellites that providecrucial intelligence, communications, naviga-tion, and environmental information to theFleet and Fleet Marine Force to make everyshot count. NAVSPACECOM is in place tostrengthen operational control, provide a cen-tral focal point for naval space matters, andmore effectively guide our future operationaluses of space.

NAVSPACECOM's mission, as the CINC-SPACE naval component, is to support day-to-day operations of the Fleet and Fleet MarineForces worldwide, whether for routine deploy-ments, exercises, or actions in response to acrisis situation. At the center of that support isthe headquarter's Naval Space OperationsCenter. Equipped with state-of-the-art com-munications and data-gathering equipment,this unique Navy facility is staffed 24 hours aday to enable the command to monitor spaceactivities in support of naval operationsaround the clock.

support. We are evolving into a fusion center forall space assets; we are able to offer Fleet andFleet Marine Force commanders 'one-stop shop-ping' for space products critical to the success oftheir operations.

NAVSPACECOM's primary challenge forthe coming decade and beyond is to continue toprovide effective space support to the navalwarfighter. The command's initiatives willinclude identifying space system require-ments, developing operational concepts, andoperating space systems in a way that morefully integrates them into weapon systems tomake space a more effective tool for the navalwarfighter.

Space systems are among those that makeup the SEW commander's arsenal, which isvital to the Fleet's ability to fight and win. TheSEW commander will focus space support intothe Fleet in the form of space-based sensorsand as a conduit for information. NAVSPACE-COM will link with SEW commanders to focusglobal space capabilities on each SEW com-mander's tactical area of responsibility.

Focusing naval, DoD, and national spaceassets on each Battle Group's tactical situationwill greatly enhance and extend the Fleet'soffensive capabilities. NAVSPACECOM hasthe connectivity and trained staff to provideresponsible space support to the SEW com-mander to put crosshairs on target for the Fleetof today and of the future.

NAVSPACECOM occupies a critical rolein the Navy's newly promulgated Space andElectronic Warfare (SEW) area. RADM L. E.Allen, Jr., says that NAVSPACECOM is a keylink to the Fleet in providing space-related SEW

Naval Space Command

NAVAL SPACE SURVEILLANCECENTER (NAVSPASUR)

NAVSPASUR was established 1 February1961. Since that time, it has developed into aspace surveillance radar system with multipletransmitters and receivers that span the U. S.NAVSPASUR also receives information from25 U.S. space sensors worldwide that assist inmaintaining a dynamic catalog of over 7000space objects and their orbits.

As NAVSPASUR grew, so did its missions.NAVSPASUR functions as the AlternateSpace Surveillance Center (ASSC) and oper-ates the Tactical Event Reporting System. Itsnewest mission is to perform the duties of theAlternate Space Defense Operations Center(ASPADOC).

NAVSPASUR is an Echelon 3 commandunder Commander, Naval Space Command(COMNAVSPACECOM). NAVSPASUR pro-vides space systems information support to themaritime forces of the U.S. and is allies. Avariety of data products are provided to theFleet and to shore commands to counter spacethreats and to better utilize space-associatedtactical information.

NAVSPASUR reports to the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Space Command via COMNAV-SPACECOM. Acting as a sensor for the SpaceSurveillance Network (SSN), NAVSPASURprovides satellite observations, orbital ele-ments and look-angles to the U.S. SpaceCommand Space Surveillance Center locatedin Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs,Colorado. Since December 1984, NAVSPA-SUR has functioned as the ASSC, exercisingbackup command and control of the SSN. Thisrequires the receipt, processing, analysis, anddistribution of data from the SSN.

COMNAVSPACECOM was assigned oper-ational control of the Tactical Event ReportingSystem in October 1985 and the day-to-dayadministration and operations were delegatedto NAVSPASUR. NAVSPASUR then estab-lished communications and processing capa-bilities and was operational in that capacity byJune 1986.

NAVSPASUR'S FIELD STATIONS

The six receiver stations and three trans-mitter stations located across the U.S. makeupthe NAVSPASUR fence. The transmitter sta-tions emit electromagnetic energy in a fan-shaped pattern that spans the continent andextends into the atmosphere to a height of15,000 miles. As a satellite crosses the fence,energy is reflected back to the receiver stationsand is picked up by specifically configured an-tenna. This energy is transferred into data andis transmitted via leased landlines to the ADPfacility in Dahlgren. Currently, the day-to-dayoperation, maintenance, and staffing of thefield stations are under contract to FKW, Inc.,Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

NAVSPASUR'S DETACHMENTS

NAVSPASUR's two detachments provideTactical Event Reporting System (TERS) infor-mation to the TERS Division: DetachmentBuckley, Peterson AFB, Colorado Springs,Colorado (LT Cheryl Sponholtz, Officer-in-Charge); Detachment Echo, Woomera, Austra-lia (LT Patrice Cole, Officer-in-Charge).

AEGIS TRAINING CENTER (ATC)

The mission of ATC is to train Naval per-sonnel in the maintenance and operation of thehighly sophisticated AEGIS Combat System.ATC, which is a tenant command of NSWC atDahlgren, was commissioned in November1985. It includes subordinate training units atMoorestown, New Jersey; Wallops Island onthe eastern shore of Virginia; Norfolk, Virgin-ia; San Diego, California; Bath, Maine; St.Inigoes, Maryland; Mayport, Florida; Pasca-goula, Mississippi; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; LongBeach, California; and Yokosuka, Japan.

We currently have over 170 active dutyNavy instructors, staff, and support personneland average about 134 Navy students. Both of

these numbers are steadily increasing. Wealso employ 42 civil service and many civiliancontract personnel. By the end of the year, thenaval instructional staff is expected to reach245 and the average daily student populationwill be about 140. We expect that in 1991alone, some 590 students will pass through ourschool.

Our existing facility has more than dou-bled in size. A ribbon-cutting ceremony on ournew multimillion dollar, 78,000-square-footbuilding was conducted in July 1990 and thebuilding is now fully supporting training.

The AEGIS Combat System represents theNavy's state of the art-radars and other sen-sors, computers, displays, weapons, and, aboveall, people woven to support a ship's missionand that of the Navy and the nation. Aftercompleting intensive and lengthy hands-ontraining, each student becomes a vital part ofhis ship's Combat System Team.

Students are here from 4 to 27 weeks, de-pending on their specific instructional require-ments. Most long-term students have alreadyhad a year of intense naval technical schoolingbefore they arrive; they represent the cream-of-the-crop in terms of intelligence and motiva-tion.

AEGIS Training Center (A TC)

REPORT TO THE COMMUNITYAEGIS Training Center

At week's end, these students often seekoff-base recreation in the area or in nearbycommunities. About one-third of them aremarried and bring their families with them;therefore, they need short-term rental housing.Another third are also married but for avariety of reasons (e.g., children in school)choose to leave their families elsewhere.

The instructional staff members are typi-cally senior enlisted personnel or junior offi-cers who serve a three-year tour-of-duty atATC. They generally become more involved inthe activities of the community (e.g., athleticcoaches, volunteer firemen, etc.).
