Strategic Plan 1998-1999

Abstract

NSWCDD is one of five divisions of the Naval Surface Warfare Center. The Dahlgren Division has two major sites: the Dahlgren Laboratory (Dahlgren, Virginia) and the Coastal Systems Station (Panama City, Florida). Our mission is to be the Navy's principal research, development, and test and evaluation activity for surface ship combat systems, ordnance, mines, strategic systems, amphibious warfare, mine countermeasures, and special warfare systems. The Dahlgren Division brings to these warfare communities a tradition of technical excellence. Naval technical institutions such as the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division exist to understand the technical dimensions of military problems, to know who can provide technical solutions to these problems, and to know whether or not a responsible solution has been provided. We do this by addressing three attributes of Navy ownership: unimpeded access to intellectual and facility resources, connectivity between the warfighter and the technical community, and a continuous source of competence to ensure systems integrity over the entire life cycle of a system. It cannot be done alone; it requires sustained relationships with the warfighter, sponsors, industry, and academia.
