Strategic Plan
Abstract
On 2 January 1992, two former Navy Research and Development (R&D) Centers - the Naval Surface Warfare Center and the Naval Coastal Systems Center - merged to become the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). At the time of this merger, both Centers were involved, in varying degrees, with strategic planning efforts. As a result, we decided that these separate efforts should be combined to produce a Division Strategic Plan. This plan consists of a set of strategic goals and accompanying tactical objectives that are keyed to the Division's assigned mission areas. Collectively, these may be viewed as strategic opportunities for the Division to pursue as we move forward. The context in which this planning effort has occurred embraces a rapidly changing world order that is redefining U.S. national security interests. And while future U.S. defense needs cannot be clearly defined in this changing environment, they certainly will have to be met with less money and fewer people. Therefore, the Navy, and NSWCDD, for its part, must also find a more effective and cost efficient way of doing business. The challenge is to fashion an approach for accommodating this mandated change in a way that preserves our existing ability to successfully develop, field, and support the complex systems needed to conduct modern naval warfare, while minimizing disruption to on-going fleet support and development efforts. The Division can meet this challenge.
