Background/History of the Laboratory:
The Naval
Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), located at Stennis Space
Center in south Mississippi, is comprised of approximately
1,000 civilian, military and contract personnel responsible
for providing oceanographic products and services to all
elements within the Department of Defense. Valued by maritime
interests worldwide, NAVOCEANO acquires and analyzes global
ocean and littoral data to provide specialized, operationally
significant products and services for warfighters and
civilian, national and international customers. Utilizing
airborne, surface and subsurface platforms deployed
worldwide, remote-sensing satellites and seaborne buoys,
NAVOCEANO data are converted into products that are tailored
to every warfighter's needs. These products and services
support virtually every type of Fleet operation by providing
mission essential information to the warfighter 24
hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.
Mission of the Laboratory:
To conduct
multidisciplinary ocean surveys and assigned scientific and
technical programs with resultant products directed toward
satisfying US Navy and Department of Defense (DoD)
Oceanographic needs for effective weapon and sensor system
performance and safe and accurate navigation.
