Naval Support Facility, Dahlgren | 3

WelcomeWelcome to Naval Support Facility Dahlgren. The history of this unique naval installation dates to 1918 when the “Lower Station”

of the Naval Powder Factory at Indian Head, Md., was established in Virginia's Northern Neck on 4,000 acres bounded by thePotomac River and Machodoc Creek in King George County. What began as a gun test facility has since evolved and expanded toinclude numerous scientific and response-force missions serving all branches of the United States armed forces. In addition to its mil-itary value, today Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren makes a significant economic contribution to the local community and theinstallation's military commands, as a whole, serve as the largest employer in King George County.

The final quarter of 2003 brought a major change to the organizational structure of the Dahlgren naval base. Effective Oct. 1, 2003,Commander Navy Installations Command (CNIC), a new Echelon II Command, officially stood up with the sole charter of provid-ing shore installation management (SIM) services to all Navy activities. All land and buildings at all Navy bases transitioned to thisnew claimant, creating 16 regional commands within CNIC.

The Navy’s goal in establishing CNIC is to have a single advocate for shore installations, to establish Navy-wide business prac-tices, and to generate savings for Navy investment. CNIC will create a more focused, leaner organization, while improving services.The objective is to reduce redundancy in the SIM process, and enable mission activities to focus on their primary missions.

The goals of CNIC are:• To be a single voice and advocate for shore installations• To increase program efficiencies through economies of scale• To allow mission claimants to focus on core mission

As part of CNIC, all Naval installations within the National Capital Region aligned with Naval District Washington (NDW), oneof 10 regional commands in the United States. NDW now provides SIMservices to naval installations inside in the National Capital region.

On Nov. 3, 2005, a new command, Naval Support Activity SouthPotomac (NSASP), was commissioned. NSASP includes Naval SupportFacility Dahlgren, Va. and Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Md.

As Naval Support Activity South Potomac adapts and fine-tunes thenew organizational structures at NSF Dahlgren, we look forward toplaying our part in the Navy’s overarching goal of achieving efficienciesso that our troops will have the ships, aircraft and weapon systems nec-essary to effectively carry out their missions. The commands atDahlgren will, as always, achieve this goal with the same passion andenthusiasm that is inherent to their core, continuing to provide the mostinnovative and sound products necessary to support our Armed Forces.

Within this publication, you will find information on Dahlgren facil-ities, to include the military value, economic impact and communityoutreach of the commands resident at Dahlgren. We hope this 2011Base Guide proves to be an informational and useful tool in helping youto get acquainted with Naval Support Facility Dahlgren.

Naval Support Facility Dahlgren

Installation History and ProfileNaval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren is

located in central Virginia on the Potomac River.The installation totals 4,320 acres divided byUpper Machodoc Creek into Mainside (2,677acres) and an Explosive Experimental Area(EEA), referred to as Pumpkin Neck Annex(1,641 acres).

Dahlgren was established in 1918 as thelower station of Indian Head Proving Ground fortesting naval guns. It was named the DahlgrenNaval Proving Ground in honor of Rear AdmiralJohn Adolphus Dahlgren. The location on thePotomac River was specifically chosen for thedevelopment of a long ballistic range on thePotomac River, required for the testing of mod-ern, high-powered munitions.

In 1932, it became the Navy’s principal prov-ing ground, and the name was changed to theNaval Proving Ground, Dahlgren. It was respon-sible for proofing and testing every major navalgun and all ammunitions supplied to the Fleet.Following World War II, the impact of new tech-nology on weapons systems shifted the empha-sis from traditional proof and testing functionson weaponry to those of research and develop-ment of weapon systems. Electronic firing andtargeting systems and the effects of electromag-netic radiation from radio and radar transmitterson ordnance became the emphasis of weaponsresearch.

During the 1950s, the U.S. Navy produced thefirst Fleet Ballistic Missile System. Dahlgren pio-neered the development of fire control and target-ing software for missile-borne strategic nuclearweapons on U.S. Navy submarines. In 1959, theinstallation was renamed as the Naval WeaponsLaboratory, Dahlgren, to reflect its transition to aresearch and development facility. Dahlgren con-tinues to support new Fleet software for firing andtargeting ballistic missiles. Since 1960, Dahlgrenhas been heavily involved with satellite geodesy.

During the 1970s, new ammunition and gunsystems were developed at Dahlgren to provideincreased safety, accuracy and range for navalguns. Also, during this period, Dahlgren provid-ed comprehensive development and support forTomahawk Weapon System. In 1977, the namewas changed to the Naval Surface WeaponsCenter. In 1987, Dahlgren's name was changedfrom the Naval Surface Weapons Center to theNaval Surface Warfare Center. This namechange reflected Dahlgren's new directiontowards developing integrated warfare systemsversus weapons components.

In 2003, management of the installationtransferred from Naval Sea Systems Command

to Navy Installations Command established withthe sole charter of providing shoreinstallation management services to all Navyactivities. At that time, all naval installationswithin the National Capital Region realignedunder Naval District Washington (NDW), and in2005 Naval Support Activity South Potomac(NSASP) was commissioned as one of sixinstallation management commands within theregion. NSASP provides shore installation man-agement for Naval Support Facility IndianHead, Md., and Naval Support FacilityDahlgren, Va.

The military community on board the instal-lation today represents a diverse and strategical-ly important mix of research and developmentactivities, alongside operational support pro-grams that are protecting the U.S. homelandfrom terrorist threats as well asserving U.S. military forces deployed world-wide on a daily basis.

Current supported commands on board NSFDahlgren include the Navy Air and MissileDefense Command, Aegis Ballistic MissileDefense Field Activity, Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division, the Center forSurface Combat Systems, the Aegis Trainingand Readiness Center, the Joint WarfareAnalysis Center, the U.S. Air Force 20th SpaceControl Squadron Detachment 1 and the U.S.Air Force 614th Air and Space OperationsCenter Detachment 1.

NSF Dahlgren currently employs over 4,800federal civilian personnel and nearly 400 mili-tary personnel. More than 2,700 defense con-tractor employees also work on theinstallation supporting various commands.

Natural ResourcesNaval Support Facility Dahlgren is blessed

with a rich diversity of natural resources. Theinstallation environment includes manydifferent types of habitat including pine forests,hardwood forests, mixed forests, old fields,grasslands, and wetlands.

Mainside is bisected by Gambo Creek, a 150-acre tidal marsh. This is where John WilkesBooth reportedly landed by boat when fleeingFederal troops after he assassinated PresidentLincoln. A 100-acre black marsh is located onPumpkin Neck Annex. Over 10 miles ofPotomac River and Upper Machodoc Creekshoreline partially define the installation bound-ary.

The installation’s 4,320 acres support awealth of animal species. Common game ani-mals include deer, turkey, rabbit, quail, and sev-

eral species of waterfowl. Red and gray fox, rac-coon, opossum, muskrat, beaver and river otterare commonly found furbearers. Numerous non-game birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphib-ians and fish complete the installation wildlifechecklist.

The installation offers interested individualsa wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities.Those wishing to hunt game may participate ina carefully regulated hunting program. Seasonsand bag limits comply with those set for theCommonwealth.

Two ponds, two tidal creeks, and thePotomac River offer the angler a chance to landlargemouth bass, channel catfish, redear sunfish,crappie, white perch, and rockfish.

The Natural Resources Program within theEnvironmental Office administers the manage-ment of the installation natural resources. Thoseseeking more details may contact Dr. ThomasWray II at (540) 653-4186.

WARNING: Due to the potential forunexploded ordnance and fragmenting metal,access to the installation’s shoreline is prohibit-ed with the exception of hunters and anglers inapproved areas.

Mission and PurposeThe Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division provides

research, development, test and evaluation, analysis, systemsengineering, integration and certification of complex naval warfaresystems related to surface warfare, strategic systems, combat andweapons systems. NSWCDD also provides system integration andcertification for weapons, combat systems and warfare systems inaddition to executing other responsibilities as assigned by the Commander,Naval Surface Warfare Center.

The Division’s strategic direction is to provide the full spectrum ofscience and engineering capabilities for surface ship weapons systemsintegration up to and including the force level, missile defense, strategicsystems and related areas of Joint and Homeland defense.

Vision:NSWCDD’s vision is to be the Department of the Navy’s leading

warfare system architect and systems engineer, recognized as thetechnical leader in delivering innovative, affordable and effectivesolutions for the Navy, Joint forces, and the nation.

warfare protection, counter-terrorism, andcounter-narcoterrorism are but a few ofthe examples of missions that are pressing.

In 2010, NSWCDD opened the doorsof the Surface Sensor and CombatSystems Facility and smoothly transi-tioned the Navy Joint Tactical InformationDistribution System (JTIDS)/Link 16work to Dahlgren. Another expansion ofeffort was the standing up of the MarineCorps Programs Office (MCPO) inresponse to our increasing role in provid-ing engineering and integration support tothe expeditionary component of the mar-itime force.

By the end of 2010, NSWCDD engi-neers under the sponsorship of the Officeof Naval Research (ONR) shattered the2008 record for the electromagnetic rail-gun — with a test shot of 32-plus mega-joules. This accomplishment brings theNavy much closer to the feasibility of anew surface ship weapon that will use aprojectile driven by electrical energy.

First and foremost, NSWCDD’s mis-sion is to support our men and women inuniform in combat on land and at sea. Weare in direct communication with the fieldand provide boots-on-the-ground support

when needed. Our engineers support com-munications, surveillance and weaponssystems that are critical to the execution ofsuccessful operations and to the safety ofour military men and women in the fieldand at sea.

In addition to meeting warfighterneeds, NSWCDD applied a set of unique

tools and applications ready to supportrecovery efforts in time of crisis to provid-ed support to the. NSWC DahlgrenMission Assurance Division providednearly 20 analysts who shared data withresponders to Haiti earthquake victimsand relief organizations, including theDomestic Preparedness Branch of theNational Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Here at home NSWCDD scientists andengineers share technology by participat-ing in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) activities andother programs that promote the youth ofour community to pursue careers in tech-nical disciplines Through these programsand educational partnerships with localschools, NSWCDD actively seeks oppor-tunities to give area youths a panorama ofthe world of science and engineering.

NSWC Dahlgren’s broad spectrum ofunique resources, including workforce,infrastructure, and relationships withindustry, have already made it a premiernaval scientific and engineering institutionthat is dedicated to solving a diverse set ofcomplex technical problems confrontingthe warfighter, whether on land, in the air,on the sea or in space.

NSWC Dahlgren Division

NSWC Dahlgren in conjunction with theOffice of Naval Research (ONR) achieved amajor milestone when it successfullyconducted a world-record 33-megajoule shotof the Electromagnetic Railgun. Besides theextended ranges, the railgun also improvessafety for Sailors and Marines because itwill eliminate the need for a high-energyexplosive warhead and traditional gunpropellants. Removing explosives and chem-icals will reduce the munitions logistic chain.

Established in 2009, Navy Air andMissile Defense Command (NAMDC) isNavy’s Warfare Center of Excellence andNavy’s primary authority and lead organiza-tion for Naval, joint, and coalition IntegratedAir and Missile Defense (IAMD) matters.An Echelon IV command, NAMDC reportsto Commander Pacific Fleet, viaCommander, U.S. 3rd Fleet.

NAMDC assesses, integrates, and syn-chronizes Navy IAMD efforts across theDoctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel,Leadership and Education, Personnel, andFacilities (DOTMLPF) spectrum; interfaceswith operational commands, resource spon-sors, system commands, research organiza-tions, doctrine developers, training organiza-tions, and other centers of cxcellence; andprovides IAMD operational mission supportto the Fleet.

NAMDC’s focus and efforts are alignedand support CNO’s 2011 guidance, in partic-ular CNO’s focus area: to continue to be themost dominant, ready and influential navalforce, globally and across all naval missions.

NAMDC is staffed by a combination ofactive duty, government service and contractpersonnel. All have robust backgrounds insurface warfare, aviation, intelligence, engi-neering, applied sciences and IAMD missionarea. NAMDC’s close proximity toWashington D.C., regional technology cen-ters, Aegis Training and Readiness Center,Center for Surface Combat Systems, andNaval Surface Warfare Center DahlgrenDivision, has allowed missile defense profes-sionals from many organizations to collabo-rate on projects and use resources efficiently.

Staff members regularly interface withthe operational commands, resourcessponsors, system commands, researchorganizations, doctrine developers, trainingorganizations and other centers of excel-lence. In addition to interacting withcommands and agencies at all echelons,including other services, DoD agencies,industry and academia, NAMDC supportsmultiple exercises across the globe andmany with the Fleet.

NAMDC also plays a key role in support-ing Navy’s effort to execute the President'sPhased Adaptive Approach for BallisticMissile Defense of Europe. NAMDC isresponsible to the Vice Chief of NavalOperations as the co-lead for the Navy BMDEnterprise, which was established to enableNavy’s actions and initiatives to supporttimely ballistic missile defense of Europe.NAMDC’s role is to align senior Navy deci-sion maker actions so Navy can achieveunity of effort in BMD.

Finally, NAMDC coordinates theInteroperability Solutions Group comprisedof high-level leadership from across theNavy. ISG was chartered to find near-termand mid-term solutions to interoperabilityissues resident in different equipment fieldedthroughout the Navy.

NAMDC is the honest broker and advo-cate for the numbered Fleets. By workingacross command echelons within Navy, withJoint, inter-Agency and coalition stakehold-ers, NAMDC is continuing to advanceNavy’s IAMD Warfighting capabilities andreadiness across the Fleet, globally andacross all naval missions.Marc Magdinec

Deputy CommanderNavy Air and Missile Defense Command

20th Space Control Squadron,Detachment 1 was established on October1, 2004 as a component of the 20th SpaceControl Squadron headquartered at EglinAir Force Base, FL. Upon activation, theunit assumed both the Naval SpaceSurveillance System (renamed “Air ForceSpace Surveillance System” (AFSSS))and the Alternate Space Control Center(ASCC) missions from Naval Networkand Space Operations Command. OnApril 30, 2010, the unit transferred theAFSSS and ASCC operational missions tothe 614th Air & Space Operations Center,Detachment 1 (also located at NSFDahlgren). The new unit mission is to pro-vide precise mission data processing forDistributive Space Command and Control(DSC2, the new name for the ASCC mis-sion) and AFSSS operations enabling reli-able space situational awareness for theUnited States and our allies. The detach-ment is comprised of two active duty AirForce members, 17 Air Force civilians and3 contractors.

The AFSSS radar system has been usedcontinuously since 1954 to detect overfly-ing space objects and debris. The AFSSSconsists of a network of ninetransmitter/receiver field stations whichcombine to form vertical bi-static radar

that creates a “fence” of electromagneticenergy. The system is capable of detectingobjects as small as a basketball in orbit upto an effective range of 15,000 nauticalmiles, and more than five million satellitedetections, or observations, are collectedby the AFSSS each month. AFSSS data istransmitted continuously to 20 SPCS, Det1 at Dahlgren, Va., and the unit processesthe observations and updates the satellitecatalog using an array of computer sys-tems and applications.

DSC2-Dahlgren is the alternate com-mand and control node for the Joint SpaceOperations Center-Space SituationalAwareness Operations Cell (JSpOC-SSAOC) at Vandenberg Air Force Base,Calif. DSC2 tasks the Space SurveillanceNetwork, a worldwide system of 29 sen-sors (radar and optical), to detect, trackand observe orbital objects larger than 10centimeters. The collected data is trans-mitted to 20 SPCS, Det 1 computer sys-tems where it is processed, cataloged andanalyzed. The observations are used toupdate the Space Catalog which is a com-prehensive listing of the number, type, andorbit of over 15,000 man-made objects inspace. 20 SPCS, Det 1 also provides abackup computational and command andcontrol capability for the JSpOC.

Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) isboth a field activity of the Naval Sea SystemCommand, as well as the Navy element of theoverall Department of Defense Missile DefenseAgency (MDA) program. Rear Admiral JosephA. Horn, Jr. wears two hats: Commander, AegisBMD Field Activity and Program Director,Aegis BMD. The Aegis BMD Program Officeincludes 17 military, 168 government civiliansand 220 contractor support personnel who leadthe government responsibilities for program andsystem integration, shipboard installation, testand certification.

Aegis BMD builds upon and extends capabil-ities inherent in the Aegis Weapon System,Standard Missile and Navy Command andControl systems. Aegis BMD provides ballisticmissile engagement capability against short tointermediate range ballistic missiles both aboveand inside the atmosphere. Aegis BMD shipshave integrated planning, detection, control,engagement and damage assessment functionali-ties for ballistic missile engagement.

Rigorous, operationally realistic testing is ahallmark of Aegis BMD and key to the pro-gram’s unparalleled success. In 2008, AegisBMD completed a series of intercept firings tovalidate its operational capability against anincreasingly difficult set of targets and scenarios.This testing was assessed by the Navy’s inde-pendent operational test agent,Commander,Operational Test and Evaluation Force(COMOPTEVFOR). COMOPTEVFOR deter-mined the Aegis BMD system to be “opera-tionally effective and operationally suitable” andrecommended transitioning the capability to theNavy. This is the same system that successfullyintercepted the errant satellite in February 2008.

Aegis BMD includes the Long RangeSurveillance and Track (LRS&T) capability.Aegis BMD modified ships search, detect andtrack ballistic missiles of all ranges – includingintercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) - andtransmit the track data to the Ballistic MissileDefense System (BMDS). During the July 2009North Korean crisis, Aegis BMD destroyerspatrolled the Sea of Japan to provide early warn-ing of ballistic missile launches to the BMDS.Aegis BMD’s successful performance in thesereal world events, Operation Burnt Frost and theNorth Korean crisis, proves that Aegis BMD is

the most operationally ready, deployable andeffective MDA program.

The integrated BMDS forces the hostile bal-listic missile to run a gauntlet of space-, land-,and sea-based engagement elements operatedby multiple Services. Aegis BMD complimentsother Ballistic Missile Defense Programs bydetecting ballistic missiles and transmittingtrack data. In the near future, midcourse (AegisBMD) and terminal missile defense systems(Patriot, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense(THAAD) and Aegis BMD) will coordinateengagements of short and medium range ballis-tic missiles. Integrated, layered defense will berealized as tracking information is sharedamong these systems, enabling a midcourseengagement followed by terminal engagements.Regional / theater layered defense is anotherexample of Aegis BMD delivering relevantcapability to the BMDS.

Meeting the Demand SignalAegis BMD and the Navy have upgraded 21

Aegis combatants to conduct ballistic missiledefense operations. Sixteen of these ships areassigned to the Pacific Fleet and five shipsassigned to the Atlantic Fleet. The Chief ofNaval Operations (CNO) has designated BMDas a core Navy mission and looks to populatethe BMD capability throughout the Aegis Fleetto meet the Combatant Commanders’(COCOMs’) demand signal. Due to theCOCOMs’ demand, Aegis BMD and Navy arejointly responding to the need for operationalAegis BMD capability through BMD upgradesto Aegis ships, Aegis Modernization Programand new construction. In the President’s Budgetfor FY11 (PB11), Aegis BMD is placing morefunds to accelerate the number of Aegis BMDships in the Fleet and the Navy is adding fundsto bring online four additional ships with BMDcapability. Together, the Navy and Aegis BMDwill bring an additional seven Aegis BMD shipson line between FYs 10 and 12. Across theFuture Years Defense Plan, PB11 will increasethe total number of funded Aegis BMD-capableships from 21 to 38 by FY15, including the firstof the new construction DDG-51 class, DDG-113.


Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense

Transitioning to the FleetAs Aegis BMD transitions to the Fleet, fir-

ing exercises have been conducted to train theships’ crews. In Pacific Blitz 2008, two PearlHarbor-based Aegis BMD destroyers firedSM-3 missiles at separate targets. This was thefirst Fleet operational firing to employ SM-3against a ballistic missile target. StellarDaggers, another West Coast exercise, was aFleet firing event that demonstrated simultane-ous engagements of threats in two differentmission areas, BMD and Anti-Air Warfare(AAW). This event completed the OperationalTest of the Aegis BMD terminal capabilityusing BMD modified SM-2 Block IV missiles.

In the first live, sea-based Aegis BMD testheld on the East Coast, USS MONTEREY (CG61), USS RAMAGE (DDG 61) and USS GON-ZALEZ (DDG 66) all successfully tracked theshort-ranged ballistic missile target that waslaunched from NASA Wallops Island FlightFacility. MONTEREY and RAMAGE took turnstracking and simulating engagements of the tar-get that would have resulted in successful inter-cepts. GONZALEZ participated by tracking thetarget.

The approach used to develop Aegis BMDwas to evolve the BMD capability from theAegis Fleet. These Aegis Cruisers andDestroyers already have the complete develop-ment, system engineering, integration, testing,training, logistics, technical support, operationsand sustainment infrastructure in place. Thisinfrastructure has been successfully operatingfor close to forty years, routinely conductingAegis baseline upgrades, thus making the oper-ations and sustainment costs for Aegis BMDalmost negligible.

Phased, Adaptive ApproachAegis BMD is the cornerstone of the Phased,

Adaptive Approach for missile defense of Europe.Following Presidential direction to ensure thatEurope is protected from an evolving ballistic mis-sile threat, theUnitedStates iscommitted todeploy-ing technology that is proven, cost-effective andadaptable to an evolving security environment.Aegis BMD and SM-3 upgrades are being phasedin to deployed Aegis BMD ships and land-basedfacilities during this decade. Each baseline upgradeprovides more capability for countering evolvingballistic missile threats, thereby providing morecoverage to ourAllies.

“Our new missile defense architecture inEurope will provide a stronger, smarter, andswifter defense of American forces, andAmerican allies. It is more comprehensive thanour previous program. It deploys capabilitiesthat are proven (SM-3 Block IA) and cost-effective. And it sustains and builds upon our

commitment to protect the U.S. homelandagainst long-range ballistic missile threats.And it ensures and enhances the protection ofall of our NATO allies.”

President Barack ObamaSeptember 17, 2009

Phase 1 is already under-way. The Aegis BMDWeapon System BMD3.6.1 and the SM-3 BlockIA missile are alreadydeployed in the Fleet. Inthis first phase, Aegis BMDengagement capable war-ships are provided for theprotection of southernEurope. The first deploy-ment of European PhasedAdaptive Approach capa-bilities came on March 7,2011 when the guided missile cruiser USSMONTEREY, homeported in Norfolk, VA.,deployed to Europe.

In Phase 2 (2015), the more advanced AegisBMD 4.0.1 and SM-3 Block IB missile aredeployed at sea and on land. The addition ofland-based sites significantly increases cover-age to NATO countries against Iranian ballisticmissiles. For Phase 3 (2018), Aegis BMD 5.1and SM-3 Block IIA provide increased cover-age of NATO countries against short, mediumand intermediate range ballistic missiles.

Future CapabilitiesAegis BMD will be able to engage increas-

ingly longer range, more sophisticated ballisticmissiles with the deployment of the next AegisBMD Weapon System upgrade and the SM-3Block IB. In addition, Aegis BMD continues toimprove its ability to fire or engage a threatusing remotely supplied track information. Asan example, in Flight Test Mission 15 (FTM-15), an AN/TPY-2 (Forward-Based Mode)radar located at Wake Island will detect theintermediate range ballistic missile target andtransmit tracking data to an Aegis BMD shipover 2,000 km away. Based on TPY-2 radardata a firing solution will be calculated and anSM-3 missile will be launched. As the targetcontinues its trajectory, the ship’s SPY-1 radarwill acquire the target and provide guidancecommands to the missile to intercept the target.Such engagement coordination expands battle-space and depth of fire.

The Navy and Aegis BMD are engaged in ajoint effort to migrate the Aegis BMD capabil-ity into the Aegis Modernization Program’sOpen Architecture (OA) efforts. The Aegis OAprogram is key to potentially expanding Aegis

BMD capability to the majority of the AegisFleet. Open Architecture and DDGModernization will also provide the foundationfor implementing Aegis BMD in Allied Navyships.

The SM-3 Cooperative DevelopmentProgram focuses on joint U.S. and Japan devel-opment of a 21 inch diameter variant of theSM-3 missile. Delivery is scheduled for 2015.This missile and the Aegis BMD 5.1 WeaponSystem provide the capability to engage longrange ballistic missiles. Aegis BMD 5.1.1 willcontain the Sea-Based Terminal development,a more robust capability to defeat ballistic mis-siles in the terminal phase.

Through these future capabilities,Aegis BMDwill remain continuously responsive and increas-ingly capable of defeating emerging threats.

International EffortsAegis BMD has broad international appeal.

Eight countries are engaged in activities whichinclude joint studies, research and develop-ment, as well as foreign military sales andallied participation in Aegis BMD flight tests.

The Government of Japan has purchasedAegis BMD for their four Aegis destroyers(KONGO, CHOKAI, MYOKO, and KIRISHI-MA) through a formal Foreign Military Salesarrangement. Aegis BMD is the first MDA ele-ment to be purchased by a foreign country. JSKONGO was the first ship of Japan’s fleet to beupgraded with the Aegis BMD WeaponSystem and also the first Japanese ship to firean SM-3 missile, intercepting a medium rangeseparating target in December 2007. All fourJapanese destroyers have been upgraded withthe BMD capability.

In addition to Japan, the Aegis WeaponSystem has been sold to several Allied coun-tries including Spain, Norway, South Koreaand Australia. By their procurement of thebasic weapon system, these countries areinvesting in the prerequisites for a potentialsea-based BMD capability.

Countries which do not have the AegisWeapon System are also interested. The RoyalNetherlands Navy ship HNLMS TROMP testedmodifications to their Signal Multi-beamAcquisition Radar for Tracking – L (SMART-L) system when they participated in FTM-11 inDecember 2006.

As the success of Aegis BMD continues,more Allied Navies are actively participating inU.S. flight tests as preliminary training, proof-of-concept or pre-decisional test and trainingfeasibility events to assess the potential of asea-based missile defense capability. Japan,Spain and The Netherlands have all participat-ed in Aegis BMD flight tests.


Center forSurface Combat Systems

The mission of Center for SurfaceCombat Systems (CSCS) is to providepreparation, study, and practice that enableour Sailors to engage the enemy and win!CSCS trains Sailors and surface warriors toachieve operational excellence. We prepareand qualify our people to correctly maintain,operate, and if necessary, fight our surfaceships while conducting sustained combatoperations at sea. And we synchronize thecapability of our warfare systems with atraining investment in people so they cansuccessfully execute across the “Kill Chain”against the threats of today that face ourSailors in ships.

CSCS is a consolidation and alignment ofmany training sites and schoolhouses thattrain surface force operations and combatsystems.

In August 2001 the Executive Review ofNavy Training (ERNT) study published itsfindings for the Chief of Naval Operations.Among the most important findings and rec-ommendations of the ERNT study were thecreation of centers of excellence or learningcenters in the Navy that possessed the supe-rior qualities and standards required forfuture Navy Fleet training. This broughtabout a major reorganization of NavyEducation and Training, including the estab-lishment of functionally aligned training incenters like CSCS.

CSCS was provisionally established inOctober 2002. Over the next two years, theCSCS training mission was focused on thecore warfare systems and operationsrequired of Air Defense (AD), BallisticMissile Defense (BMD), Anti-SubmarineWarfare (ASW), Surface Warfare (SW),Mine Warfare (MIW), Mobility (Navigation

and Seamanship), and supporting Commandand Control (C41) systems. CSCS was offi-cially established in September 2004.

CSCS and its 14 learning sites (units anddetachments) train Sailors across the rangeof warfare capability: maintenance, opera-tion, and employment skills. The 14 learningsites include CSCSU Great Lakes, AEGISTraining and Readiness Center (ATRC),CSCSU Dam Neck, Fleet Anti-SubmarineWarfare Center (FLEASWTRACEN), MineWarfare Training Center (MWTC), CSCSDet San Diego, CSCS Det West, CSCS DetWallops Island, CSCS Det East, CSCS DetNorfolk, CSCS Det Mayport, CSCS DetPearl Harbor, CSCS Det PacNorWest, andCSCS Det Yokosuka.

CSCS holds the training for nine EnlistedRatings: Fire Controlmen, ElectronicTechnicians, Interior Communications, SonarTechnician (surface), Gunner’s Mates,Minemen, Operations Specialists, Boatswain’sMates, and Quartermasters. CSCS also trainsofficers in system-specific skills required totactically operate and employ surface ships, aswell as provide Navy training to many of ourinternational partners.

CSCS trains over 50,000 Sailors andofficers annually to achieve operationalexcellence and provide the backbone of thesurface force’s warfare capability.

Aegis Trainingand Readiness Center

Aegis Training and Readiness Center(ATRC) was formally established as atraining command in November 1984. Thefacility opened for training in October1985 with the first class of 14 studentsgraduating Dec. 18, 1985, from theAegis Computer Fundamentals course.Headquartered at the Rear Admiral WayneE. Meyer Aegis Education Center,Dahlgren, Va., ATRC’s core mission istraining military personnel in the opera-tion, maintenance, and employment of theAegis Combat Weapons System and theoperation and employment of the Ship’sSelf Defense System.

The Aegis Weapons System has evolvedinto a fast reaction, high performance,computerized system using the latest radartechnology to detect contacts and engagethreats. The Aegis Combat System is afunctional grouping of the Aegis WeaponsSystems with Anti-Air, Ballistic MissileDefense, Anti-Submarine, Anti-Surfaceand Strike Warfare, and associatedweapons and communications equipment.Each element of these overall systems istaught at ATRC. As the weapons systemsevolve, courses are tailored to support dif-ferences between equipment found on thevarious Aegis ships. After completingintensive training, each student becomes avital part of their assigned ship’s combatsystems team and assists in highly detailedprocedures designed to ensure total combatreadiness of the individual ship and theStrike Group.

ATRC offers technical training coursesspecifically designed to prepare individu-als for serving in a combat system role.Specifically, some fire controlmen andofficers learn the Aegis Combat/WeaponsSystem equipped on all U.S. Navy destroy-ers and cruisers. Likewise, officers des-tined for certain aircraft carriers and largedeck amphibious ships receive training onthe Ship’s Self Defense System (SSDS).

The Ship’s Self Defense System Course

of Instruction was added to ATRC’s train-ing curriculum in October 2007. Theseven-week course provides officers enroute to SSDS ships with the knowledge,skills, and abilities to effectively manageand operate the SSDS. Students learnequipment configuration familiarization,Combat Direction Center (CDC)/com-mand and control principles, and tacticaldecision making. Instruction is comprisedof lectures, group discussions, interactivecourseware, scenarios, and labs.

Completion of either the AegisCombat/Weapons System or SSDS isdocumented in the student’s official train-ing record and students receive a coursecompletion certificate. ATRC courses donot lead to a diploma or degree; however,eligible ATRC courses are evaluated forcollege credit by the American Council onEducation (ACE).

ATRC’s traditional school houseinstruction is delivered 24 hours a day, fivedays a week. Nearly 1,200 enlisted firecontrolmen and 550 officers graduateannually.

ATRC has 153 full-time instructors;approximately two-thirds are militarymembers and one-third are contracted.ATRC employs approximately 200 non-instructional, full-time staff members.Military instructors are typically fleetreturnees who bring relevant, recent expe-rience to the classroom. Contractedinstructors are typically prior Aegis Sailorswho provide continuity to our instructionalstaff.

Electronic classrooms, electronictechnical manuals, and long-range connec-tivity allow for continued expansion of thequantity and quality of training to meetgrowing training requirements. ATRC’songoing efforts include examining newtechnologies and training methods forinnovative, less costly ways to train tomeet new challenges and needs of theUnited States Navy.

Joint Warfare AnalysisCenter

Before 1994, JWAC was a depart-ment of the Naval Surface WarfareCenter, Dahlgren Division (NSW-CDD). Yet, its earliest form began as aprogram office during the 1981 Iranhostage rescue mission. At that time,several employees working in FDepartment answered a request fromthe Pentagon to help with one aspectof the mission. Although the rescuemission ultimately failed, the ideasthat had been developed for it took

root and grew.Over the years, JWAC’s mission

has evolved and expanded to stay rel-evant to the evolving threats facingour country. Beginning in 2004 and inevery year since, the command hasdeployed dozens of civilian and mili-tary analysts to theater to providedirect customer support to battlefieldcommanders. It currently keeps abouthalf a dozen employees deployed totheater for this purpose.

Mr. Robert A. Tolhurst, Jr.Executive Director


Our Mission:The Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) provides combatant

commands, Joint Staff, and other customers with precise technicalsolutions to carry out the national security and military strategies of theUnited States. JWAC maintains and enhances its ability to conductcomprehensive technical analysis.

Our Vision:Revolutionary technical solutions on time, every time, to support

national security.

Overview:Since 1994, the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) has provided

timely and accurate engineering and scientific analysis to militarycommanders and government officials to advance the national securitystrategy of the United States.

To accomplish its mission, JWAC uses information provided by itspartners in the intelligence community to analyze some of the mostcomplex problems faced by military and civilian leaders alike and, byapplying rigorous analytical methods, recommends solutions to theseproblems. It handles both crisis operations and contingency planning.Among its customers are combatant commands, the Joint Staff, andcivilian agencies like the Departments of State and Treasury.



To stay current and relevant, JWACmaintains a rigorous workforce train-ing program. Employees are encour-aged to spend three hours in profes-sional development each week. Thegoal, as stated in the Commander’sPrinciples is to prepare the “workforceto answer tomorrow’s challenges.”

Historically, JWAC’s employeeshave participated in community out-reach and disaster relief. For example,teams responded to a tornado in LaPlata, Md. in 2002 and to HurricaneIsabel, which caused widespread dam-age and power outages in the region,in 2003. More recent examples

include the command’s support for theCombined Federal Campaign (CFC),donating more than $80,000 during2011. Fund raisers are sponsored forthe Enlisted Association, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, theAmerican Cancer Society’s Relay forLife, and a Christmas angel tree incooperation with Rappahannock AreaProject LINK.

JWAC employs about 500 engi-neers, scientists, military members,and support personnel at its headquar-ters at the Naval Support Facility inDahlgren, Va. They are led by ColonelMichael R. Orr, USMC, the seventh

commander in the JWAC’s 17-yearhistory and the first Marine in thatposition, and Mr. Robert A. Tolhurst,Jr., the Executive Director since 2004.Formerly a joint subordinate com-mand of U.S. Joint Forces Command(JFCOM) in Norfolk, Va. for morethan a decade, JWAC officiallybecame part of U.S. StrategicCommand in Offutt Air Force Base,Neb., effective 1 July 2011.
