This program provides institutional maintenance and operations support for: the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Detachment Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center, Andros Island, Bahamas; the Environmental Compliance Program; Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Point Mugu and China Lake, CA; Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, MD; Test and Evaluation related capabilities at the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, HI; Maintenance and Repair at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, and Naval Undersea Warfare Center Detachment Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center. The program also provides marine vessels overhauls and preventative maintenance in support of the 23 Major Range and Test Facility Base marine vessels located at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Point Mugu, CA, Pacific Missile Range Facility, Honolulu, HI, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport Nanoose and Dabob Bay Ranges, Keyport, WA, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, MD, and Naval Undersea Warfare Center Detachment Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center. The Test and Evaluation activities make up the Navy portion of the Department of Defense's Major Range and Test Facility Base. These activities are chartered to perform Test and Evaluation for the development and acquisition of technologically advanced weapons systems. Core Test and Evaluation capabilities and capacity are operated to obtain weapons system performance documentation for acquisition program milestone decisions to provide operational forces with effective weapons systems. This program provides Navy Acquisition Program Managers required test capabilities; lowers cost of Test and Evaluation; removes cost and scheduling impact of developing and providing their own Test and Evaluation capabilities; and retains the physical airspace, land space and sea space needed to conduct testing.
