Background/History of the Laboratory:
The Naval Air
Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) was established in
October 1993 as a result of a reorganization of five
predecessor Navy research, development, test, and evaluation
(RDT&E) centers. NAWCAD hosts unique R&D aircraft
systems laboratories and test facilities, serving the needs
of the U.S. Navy, as well as other services, federal
agencies, foreign customers, and commercial entities. The
complex at Patuxent River, Md. (NAWCAD PAX) includes research
and engineering disciplines of systems engineering, air
vehicles, propulsion, avionics, crew systems, and test and
evaluation. Life cycle communications expertise for multiple
platforms resides at the St. Inigoes, Md. annex. The Key
West, Fla. detachment provides testing of developmental anti-
submarine warfare hardware in the open ocean
environment.
Mission of the Laboratory:
The mission of
NAWCAD is to be the Navy's principal research,
development, test and evaluation, engineering, and fleet
support activity for Naval aircraft, engines, avionics,
aircraft support systems, and ship/shore/air
operation.
