Background/History of the Laboratory:
The Chief of Naval Operations
established the Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC) in 1998. NWDC
coordinates the development of concepts, doctrine, lessons learned, and experimentation in direct support
of the
Fleet. The command also provides cutting-edge modeling and simulation for training, experimentation,
and
focused analysis.
Mission of the Laboratory:
NWDC serves as the Navy’s champion
for the rapid generation and development of innovative solutions in
concepts and doctrine to enhance maritime capability at the operational level across the full spectrum
and
enables seamless integration in the joint and coalition arena.
NWDC is the Navy’s premier expert
for the development and integration of capability at the operational level,
shaping current and future force employment through five core competencies: innovation in concept generation
and development, design and execution of experimentation and exercises, advanced modeling and simulation,
lessons learned, and doctrine. The combination of these competencies is unique to NWDC.
Facilities:
NWDC is home to the Navy Center for Advanced
Modeling and Simulation (NCAMS). NCAMS conducts state-of-
the- art, high-fidelity modeling and simulation that enable training, support concept generation
and
development, execute key Fleet exercises, and provide high-end analytical wargaming and experimentation.
Technology Transfer Mechanisms:
- Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs)
Technology Areas of Expertise:
- Modeling
- Simulation
- Analysis
- Experimentation
