Welcome to Naval Support Facility Dahlgren. The history of this unique naval installation dates to1918 when the “Lower Station” of the Naval Powder Factory at Indian Head, Md., was establishedin Virginia’s Northern Neck on 4,000 acres bounded by the Potomac River and Machodoc Creek inKing George County.

What began as a gun test facility in the waning days of World War I has since evolved andexpanded into a major shore installation that is responsible for numerous scientific and response-force missions serving all branches of the United States armed forces. Today, Naval Support Facility(NSF) Dahlgren is home to nearly a dozen military commands and supporting organizations that arecontributing directly to a multitude of critical defense programs and operations on a worldwidescale. In addition to its military value, today NSF Dahlgren makes a significant economic contribu-

tion to the local community, contributing over $1 billionannually to area economies through payroll dollars anddefense contracts alone. And the installation as awhole serves as the largest employer in King GeorgeCounty.

I look forward to leading Naval Support ActivitySouth Potomac in doing our part to support theNavy's overarching goal of achieving efficiencies sothat our forces or Sailors will have the ships, aircraftand weapon systems necessary to effectively carryout their missions. The commands at Dahlgrenwill, as always, achieve this goal with the samepassion and enthusiasm that is inherent to theircore, continuing to provide the most innovativeand sound products necessary to support ourArmed Forces.

Within this publication, you will findinformation on Dahlgren facilities, toinclude a wide range of services and pro-grams that are available to the entire baseworkforce and your families. We hopethis 2013 Base Guide proves to be aninformational and useful tool in helpingyou to get acquainted with Naval SupportFacility Dahlgren.

Installation History and ProfileThe Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren

is located in central Virginia on the PotomacRiver. NSF Dahlgren is geographically dividedinto Mainside and an Explosive ExperimentalArea (EEA), referred to as Pumpkin Neck.Mainside has 2,677 acres, while PumpkinNeck has 1,641 acres located on a peninsulasouth of Mainside on the Potomac River.

Dahlgren was established in 1918 as thelower station of Indian Head Proving Groundfor testing naval guns. It was named the LowerStation, Dahlgren Naval Proving Ground inhonor of Rear Admiral JohnAdolphusDahlgren. The location on the Potomac Riverwas specifically chosen for the development ofa long ballistic range on the Potomac River,required for the testing of modern, high-pow-ered munitions.

In 1932, it became the Navy's principalproving ground, and the name was changed tothe Naval Proving Ground, Dahlgren. It wasresponsible for proofing and testing everymajor naval gun and all ammunitions suppliedto the Fleet. Following World War II, theimpact of new technology on weapons systemsshifted the emphasis from traditional proof andtesting functions on weaponry to those ofresearch and development of weapon systems.Electronic firing and targeting systems and theeffects of electromagnetic radiation from radioand radar transmitters on ordnance became theemphasis of weapons research.

During the 1950s, the U.S. Navy producedthe first Fleet Ballistic Missile System.Dahlgren pioneered the development of firecontrol and targeting software for missile-bornestrategic nuclear weapons on U.S. Navy sub-marines. In 1959, the name was changed to theNaval Weapons Laboratory, Dahlgren, toreflect its transition to a research and develop-ment facility. Dahlgren continues to supportnew Fleet software for firing and targeting bal-listic missiles. Since 1960, Dahlgren has beenheavily 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 pro-vided comprehensive development and supportfor Tomahawk Weapon System. In 1977, thename was changed to the Naval SurfaceWeapons Center. In 1987, Dahlgren's namewas changed from the Naval Surface WeaponsCenter to the Naval Surface Warfare Center.This name change reflects Dahlgren's newdirection towards developing integrated war-fare systems versus weapons components.

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

to Commander Navy Installations Command(CNIC), established with the sole charter ofproviding shore installation management serv-ices to all Navy activities. All land and build-ings at all Navy bases transitioned to this newclaimant, creating 16 regional commands with-in CNIC. At that time, all naval installationswithin the National Capital Region realignedunder Naval District Washington (NDW), andin 2005 Naval Support Activity South Potomacwas commissioned as one of six installationmanagement commands within the region.NSASP provides shore installation manage-ment for Naval Support Facility Indian Head,Md., and Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, Va.

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

NSF Dahlgren currently employs over4,700 federal civilian personnel and nearly 400military personnel. More than 2,500 defensecontractor employees also work on the installa-tion supporting various commands and pro-grams. In fiscal year 2012 – from October2011 through September 2012 – the base gen-erated over $1.1 billion funneled directly intolocal economies in the form of payroll dollarsand defense contracts. In that accounting peri-od, the combined payroll for federal civilianemployees and military personnel alone totaledover $511 million. An additional $594 millionin defense contract spending was allocated tocompanies in the local region encompassingVirginia’s Planning District 16 – whichincludes Fredericksburg and Stafford,Spotsylvania, Caroline and King GeorgeCounties – and southern Maryland.

Natural ResourcesNaval Support Facility Dahlgren is blessed

with a rich diversity of natural resources. Theinstallation environment includes many differ-ent types of habitat including pine forests, hard-wood forests, mixed forests, old fields, grass-lands, and wetlands.

Mainside is bisected by Gambo Creek, a150-acre tidal marsh. This is where JohnWilkes Booth reportedly landed by boat whenfleeing Federal troops after he assassinatedPresident Lincoln. A 100-acre black marsh islocated on Pumpkin Neck. Over 10 miles ofPotomac River and Upper Machodoc Creekshoreline partially define the

installation boundary.The installation’s 4,320 acres support a

wealth of animal species. Common game ani-mals include deer, turkey, rabbit, quail, andseveral species of waterfowl. Red and gray fox,raccoon, opossum, muskrat, beaver, and riverotter are commonly found furbearers.Numerous non-game birds, small mammals,reptiles, amphibians, and fish complete theinstallation wildlife checklist.

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 toland largemouth bass, channel catfish, redearsunfish, crappie, white perch and rockfish.

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

WARNING: Due to the potential for unex-ploded ordnance and fragmenting metal, accessto the installation’s shoreline is prohibited withthe exception of hunters and anglers inapproved areas.

Vicinity ProfileNSF Dahlgren is located in rural King

George County, Va., approximately 55 milessouth of Washington, D.C. The total countypopulation in 2010 was estimated at over23,500. Fredericksburg, Va., with approximate-ly 27,300 residents, is 26 miles west ofDahlgren. Fredericksburg is the center foremployment in Stafford and SpotsylvaniaCounties, Virginia, employing approximately11,100 people within the city. The greaterFredericksburg region (including the City ofFredericksburg and King George, Stafford,Spotsylvania and Caroline Counties) employsover 244,000 people.

Waldorf, Maryland, located 26 miles north-east of Dahlgren, has approximately 67,750residents. Waldorf is largely a residential com-munity. As Waldorf has little true industry,many residents commute daily toAndrewsAirForce Base and other points near Washington,while others work providing local communitypublic services or small businesses.

Missile Defense

Laura DeSimoneDeputy Program Executive,

Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense

Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) isboth the Navy element of the MissileDefense Agency (MDA), as well as a fieldactivity of the Naval Sea System Command.Rear Admiral Randall Hendrickson is theProgram Executive, Aegis BMD andCommander, Aegis BMD Field Activity. TheAegis BMD Program Office is located in theRear Admiral David M. Altwegg Aegis BMDComplex consisting of two buildings (1705and 1705A). The program office is mannedby 21 military, 287 government civilians and228 contractor support personnel responsiblefor program and system integration, ship-board installation, test, certification and capa-bility deployment to the Fleet.

HistoryThe Aegis BMD Program can be traced

back to a tracking anomaly aboard USSMOBILE BAY (CG 53) in January 1991.USS MOBILE BAY was on station in thePersian Gulf conducting anti-air warfareoperations in support of Operation DesertStorm. The shipboard air search radar,AN/SPY-1, was radiating far into Kuwait andIraq searching for enemy aircraft. Anunknown object was detected and tracked,flying a trajectory that no plane could possi-bly fly. Later analysis determined, the SPY-1radar had detected and tracked an Iraqi Scudballistic missile. Further promising studiesand successful demonstrations led to theestablishment of the Aegis BMD Program.

Aegis BMD builds upon and extendscapabilities inherent in the Aegis WeaponSystem, Standard Missile (SM) and NavyCommand and Control systems. AegisBMD’s role in missile defense has evolved asthe Ballistic Missile Defense System(BMDS) evolved to meet its mission, e.g.engagement of ballistic missiles of all rangesand in all phases of flight through multi-lay-ered defense. In the initial fielding of theHomeland Defense portion of the BMDS inlate 2004, Aegis BMD’s role was that of aforward sensor to extend the Ground-BasedInterceptor’s battlespace and provide earlywarning of an Intercontinental BallisticMissile (ICBM) launch. This tracking capa-

bility is known as Long Range Surveillanceand Track (LRS&T). During recent NorthKorean space launches and long range mis-sile tests, Aegis BMD ships provided earlywarning of the ballistic missile launch andtrajectory to the BMDS.

Due to the increasing ballistic missilethreat, Aegis BMD’s role evolved to includean emergency engagement capability in 2004.Aegis BMD ships, loaded with the SM-3Block I guided missile, were capable of inter-cepting short to medium range ballistic mis-siles in the midcourse phase of flight. After atwo year development effort, the Aegis BMDengagement capabilities were expanded toinclude terminal (inside the atmosphere)capability. The Aegis BMD 3.6 and SM-3Block IA guided missile configuration wentto sea in late 2006. This system was assessedby Commander, Operational Test andEvaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR) as“operationally effective and operationallysuitable” in 2008. Also in 2008, this AegisBMD configuration was modified duringOperation Burnt Frost and successfully inter-cepted a non-operational, reconnaissancesatellite containing over 1,000 lbs of haz-ardous hydrazine propellant. In 2009, AegisBMD was identified as the cornerstone of thePhased Adaptive Approach (PAA) for missiledefense of Europe. After upgrading USSMONTEREY (CG 61) with the Aegis BMD3.6.1 Weapon System, the ship deployed toEurope in March 2011, fulfilling AegisBMD’s European PAA (EPAA) Phase 1responsibilities. Aegis BMD 3.6.1 is present-ly deployed throughout the U.S. Fleet provid-ing regional sea-based missile defense of theEuropean and Pacific theaters.

The integrated BMDS forces the hostileballistic missile to run a gauntlet of space-,land-, and sea-based engagement elementsoperated by multiple Services. Aegis BMD isan active participant in the integration of theBMDS through operationally realistic testing.Flight Test Integrated-01 (FTI-01) in October2012 demonstrated the ability in anIntegrated Air and Missile Defense environ-ment to defeat a raid of up to five near-simul-taneously launched representative threats inan operationally relevant COCOM scenario.

Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense





FTI-01 was the first integrated flight testwith multiple firing elements (Aegis BMD,Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense andPatriot) engaging multiple ballistic missileand air targets in a realistic theater architec-ture. The Aegis BMD ship engaged a simpleseparating ballistic missile target, and alsosuccessfully conducted an air engagement inthis complex environment. The near-simulta-neous engagement of the anti-air warfare tar-get verified ship self-defense capability whileconducting a ballistic missile engagement.

Meeting the Demand SignalNavy and Aegis BMD are executing a

triple prong effort to fulfill the CombatantCommanders’ (COCOMs’) demand signal formore BMD ships. Aegis BMD and Navy arejointly responding through BMD upgrades toAegis ships, Aegis Modernization Programand new construction of Aegis BMDDestroyers in response to the increasingdemand for Aegis BMD capability from theoperational forces (Central, Europe andPacific Commands). Five such BMD installa-tions were accomplished in CY 2012 andanother three upgrade installations have start-ed. Ships identified for homeport transfer toRota, Spain have been upgraded or have beenprogrammed to receive the BMD installation.

As more Aegis BMD ships and missilesare being deployed globally, more Fleet BMDtracking and firing exercises are being con-ducted. Last year, ships from Japan, SouthKorea and U.S. participated in PacificDragon, a multinational ballistic missile track-ing event. Each participant successfullytracked two ballistic missile targets launchedat nearly the same time.

Near-Term Future CapabilitiesAs the Aegis BMD capability continues to

evolve to defeat the ballistic missile threat, the

focus of the second generation Aegis BMD

Weapon System is centered on global trends

in the development, deployment and prolifer-

ation of ballistic missiles. The Aegis BMD

system will engage increasingly longer range

and more sophisticated threat ballistic missiles

launched in large raid sizes. A series of inter-

cept firings are being conducted to validate

the operational effectiveness and suitability of

Aegis BMD 4.0 weapon system and the

Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IB guided

missile against these threats. Two successful

SM-3 Block IB guided missile intercept fir-

ings were conducted in CY 2012. The second

generation Aegis BMD weapon system com-

puter programs have been certified for opera-

tional use. This configuration has been

installed in USS LAKE ERIE (CG 70) and

USS SHILOH (CG 67). Two Atlantic Fleet

Destroyers, USS CARNEY (DDG 64) and

USS DONALD COOK (DDG 75), are also

being upgraded.

To compliment the number of ships con-

ducting BMD patrol for defense of Europe,

the sea-based Aegis BMD capability will be

deployed ashore at two locations in Europe.

Aegis Ashore is the key component of Phases

II and III in the EPAA. Aegis Ashore re-hosts

the BMD components of a Navy Destroyer in

an ashore configuration, providing BMD

capability against short, medium and interme-

diate range ballistic missiles. Deckhouses are

being constructed in New Jersey for check-

out and later installation in Romania and at

the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF),

Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii for training.

To increase the BMD sea-based Force

Structure, Navy and Aegis BMD are integrat-

ing the second generation Aegis BMD

Weapon System into the Navy-developed

open architecture computing environment.

This will keep Aegis BMD compatible with

Navy as Aegis Modernization plans are exe-

cuted, resulting in more Aegis Destroyers to

serve as candidates for BMD missions. USS

JOHN PAUL JONES (DDG 53) has started

the Aegis Modernization upgrade.

Mid - Term Future CapabilitiesMid-term Aegis BMD capability includes

the deployment of the SM-3 Block IIA guided

missile. The U.S. and Japan have a mutual

interest in the evolutionary development of

improvements to the SM-3 guided missile. In

FY 2006, the two countries signed a

Memorandum of Understanding for the co-

development of an upgraded, 21-inch diame-

ter SM-3 missile (SM-3 Block IIA), thereby

increasing the missile’s range and the proba-

bility of kill against a larger threat set. The

objective of the SM-3 Cooperative

Development (SCD) Project is development

and initial at-sea flight testing of the missile.

The joint project has completed the

Preliminary Design Reviews for all missile

components and is progressing towards

Critical Design Reviews (CDRs) in FY 2013.

Aegis BMD is a player in the development

of future-generation missile defense capabili-

ties by expanding and enhancing the BMDS

to counter projected threats. One such effort is

the capability to launch missiles based on

remote sensor information, referred to as

Launch on Remote (LOR). Aegis BMD con-

ducted a real-time LOR firing in April 2011,

when Aegis BMD launched a missile based

on remote track data from an Army land-

based radar. This flight test demonstrated

increased battle space, winning back critical

reaction time and extending by three times the

Aegis BMD’s original design intercept range

with the use of netted sensor information. In

February 2013, Aegis BMD successfully

launched an SM-3 missile based on track data

from space-based sensors. As the target con-

tinued along its trajectory, the ship’s radar

acquired the target and the guided missile

destroyed the target.

Aegis BMD is developing, delivering,

training and sustaining Integrated Air and

Missile Defense for the Fleet and Joint

Warfighter!

Established in 1918 as a naval provingground, the Naval Surface Warfare CenterDahlgren Laboratory (NSWCDL) is theheadquarters for the Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division.

As a premiere naval scientific and engi-neering institution, Dahlgren technologymakes a difference in our military’s ability tofight, win, and come home safely. With its18-mile range along the shores of thePotomac River and Machodoc Creek, theDahlgren test range looks to the future - itspushing the envelope of ordnance andweaponry for tomorrow’s Navy.

The Fleet of the future is being designedtoday and Dahlgren scientists and engineersare in the thick of it, lending their knowl-edge, expertise, and innovations so that ournation can never be outflanked by its adver-saries. Even with brand new design concepts,current systems must be taken into account.

For example, NSWCDD scientists beganinvestigating the potential of directed energyin the late sixties. Dahlgren soon became aleader in research and development of usingstored electrical energy. Today NSWCDD ishome to the Naval Directed Energy Office,the Navy's top facility for research and devel-opment of pulse power, microwave, and lasertechnologies. In 2012, NSWCDD success-fully installed, tested and operated a directedenergy system against threat representativetargets while aboard a U.S. Navy ship.

National attention is focused on militaryparticipation in non-traditional missions.Operations other-than-war, homeland

defense, chemical-biological warfare protec-tion, counter-terrorism, and counter-narcoter-rorism are a few examples of missions thatare pressing.

Dahlgren’s infrastructure enables research,development, testing and evaluation in sup-port of these diverse missions. An unmannedaerial vehicle (UAV) runway gives NSW-CDD an effective in-house capability toresearch, develop and test UAVs with newsensors, payloads, weapons and engagementsystems.

In 2012, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA)was among the distinguished military andgovernment visitors briefed by NSWCDDCommander Capt. Michael Smith on theNavy's Electromagnetic Railgun facility andLittoral Combat Ship (LCS) Surface WarfareMission Package and Gun Mission Modulecapabilities. Throughout the year, NSWCDDscientists and engineers informed distin-guished visitors about ElectromagneticRailgun developments and the LCS combatsystem's capability to rapidly detect, trackand prosecute small-boat threats. A newbreed of U.S. Navy warship – LCS is a fast,agile, and networked surface combatant. Theship's modular, focused-mission design willprovide combatant commanders the requiredwarfighting capabilities and operational flexi-bility to ensure maritime dominance andaccess for the joint force. LCS will operatewith interchangeable mission packages thatdeploy manned and unmanned vehicles toexecute missions as assigned by combatantcommanders. The ongoing Electromagnetic

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) provides research, development, test andevaluation, analysis, systems engineering, integration and certification of complex Naval warfare systemsrelated to surface warfare, strategic systems, combat and weapons systems. NSWCDD also provides systemintegration and certification for weapons, combat systems and warfare systems in addition to executing otherresponsibilities as assigned by the Commander, Naval Surface Warfare Center.The Division’s strategic direction is to provide the full spectrum of science and engineering capabilities forsurface ship weapon systems integration up to and including the force level, missile defense, strategic sys-tems and related areas of Joint and Homeland defense.

NSWCDD’s vision is to be the Department of the Navy’s leading warfare system architect and systems engi-neer, recognized as the technical leader in delivering innovative, affordable and effective solutions for theNavy, Joint forces, and the nation.

First and foremost, NSWCDD’s mission is tosupport our men and women in uniform in com-bat on land and at sea. We are in direct commu-nication with the field and provide boots-on-the-ground support when needed. Our engineerssupport communications, surveillance andweapons systems that are critical to the execu-tion of successful operations and to the safety ofour military men and women in the field and atsea.

In January 2013, the Navy announced theresults of a test simulating a chemical attack onUSS New York (LPD 21) off the coast ofVirginia, verifying the capability of NSW-CDD—designed chemical, biological and radio-logical (CBR) defense systems in protectingsailors on the San Antonio (LPD 17) class. Thereport confirmed the effectiveness ofNSWCDD’s collective protection system,Improved Point Detection System - LifecycleReplacement technology, countermeasure wash-down, decontamination stations and casualtydecontamination stations. NSWCDD plans toinstall the new system - designed to quicklyalert warfighters to the presence of chemicalwarfare agents - on all active guided-missiledestroyers and cruisers, aircraft carriers, largeand small deck amphibious ships, littoral com-bat ships and dry cargo/ammunition ships by theend of 2018.

Here at home, NSWCDD scientists and engi-neers continue to share technology by partici-pating in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) activities and other pro-grams that inspire the youth of our communityto pursue careers in technical disciplines.Through these programs and educational part-nerships with local schools, NSWCDD activelyseeks opportunities to give area youths apanorama of the world of science and engineer-ing.

NSWC Dahlgren Division’s broad spectrumof unique resources, including workforce, infra-structure, and relationships with industry, havemade it a premier naval scientific and engineer-ing institution that is dedicated to solving adiverse set of complex technical problems con-fronting the warfighter, whether on land, in theair, on the sea or in space.

Aegis Training and Readiness Center

Capt. Ian HallCommanding Officer


Cmdr. Christopher SimmonsExecutive Officer


Aegis Training and Readiness Center(ATRC) was formally established as a trainingcommand in November 1984. The facilityopened for training in October 1985 with thefirst class of 14 students graduating Dec. 18,1985, from the Aegis Computer Fundamentalscourse. Headquartered at the Rear AdmiralWayne E. Meyer Aegis Education Center,Dahlgren, Va., ATRC’s core mission is train-ing military personnel in the operation, main-tenance, and employment of the AegisCombat Weapons System and the operationand employment of the Ship’s Self DefenseSystem. The Aegis Weapons System hasevolved into a fast reaction, high performance,computerized system using the latest radartechnology to detect contacts and engagethreats. The Aegis Combat System is a func-tional grouping of the Aegis Weapons Systemswith Anti-Air, Ballistic Missile Defense, Anti-Submarine, Anti-Surface and Strike Warfare,and associated weapons and communicationsequipment. Each element of these overall sys-tems is taught at ATRC. As the weapons sys-tems evolve, courses are tailored to supportdifferences between equipment found on thevarious Aegis ships. After completing inten-sive training, each student becomes a vital partof his or her assigned ship’s combat systemsteam and assists in highly detailed proceduresdesigned to ensure total combat readiness ofthe individual ship and Strike Group.

ATRC offers technical training coursesspecifically designed to prepare individuals forserving in a combat system role. Specifically,Aegis Fire Controlmen and surface warfareofficers learn the Aegis Combat/WeaponsSystem equipped on all U.S. Navy destroyersand cruisers. Likewise, Fire Controlmen andofficers destined for certain aircraft carriers

and large deck amphibious ships receive train-ing on the Ship’s Self Defense System(SSDS).

Completion of either the AegisCombat/Weapons System or SSDS is docu-mented in the student’s official training recordand students receive a course completion cer-tificate. ATRC courses do not lead to a diplo-ma or degree; however, eligible ATRC coursesare evaluated for college credit by theAmerican Council on Education (ACE).

ATRC is also responsible for supportingthe warfighting readiness of the Aegis fleet.ATRC provides technical expertise for missionsupport, input on Aegis technical documenta-tion, assists in Acquisition support, providesoversight of Aegis Fire ControlmanManpower, supports the development of doc-trine and tactics, and assists in research anddevelopment.

ATRC’s traditional school house instructionis delivered 24 hours a day, five days a week.Nearly 650 enlisted Fire Controlmen and 550officers graduate annually. Military instruc-tors are typically fleet returnees who bring rel-evant, recent experience to the classroom.Contracted instructors are typically prior AegisSailors who provide continuity to our instruc-tional staff. Electronic classrooms, electronictechnical manuals, and long-range connectivi-ty allow for continued expansion of the quan-tity and quality of training to meet growingtraining requirements. ATRC’s ongoing effortsinclude examining new technologies and train-ing methods for innovative, less costly waysto train to meet new challenges and needs ofthe United States Navy.

"To provide enlisted personnel with the knowledge, ability, and skill to operate and maintain the AEGIS CombatSystem through timely, effective, and integrated training delivered across the Sailors' careers. Provide officersthe knowledge, ability, and skill to operate, employ, and assess the readiness of the AEGIS and SSDS combatsystems aboard surface warships."

Capt. Gary ShomanCommander

Joint Warfare Analysis Center

Mr. Robert A. Tolhurst, Jr.Executive Director


Before 1994, JWAC was a department ofthe Naval Surface Warfare Center, DahlgrenDivision (NSWCDD). Yet its earliest formbegan as a program office during the 1981Iran hostage rescue mission. At that time,several employees working in F Departmentanswered a request from the Pentagon tohelp with one aspect of the mission.Although the rescue mission ultimatelyfailed, the ideas that had been developed forit took root and grew.

Over the years, JWAC’s mission hasevolved and expanded to stay relevant to theevolving threats facing our country.Beginning in 2004 and in every year since,the command has deployed dozens of civil-ian and military analysts to theater to providedirect customer support to battlefield com-manders. It currently keeps about half adozen employees deployed to theater for thispurpose.

To stay current and relevant, JWAC main-tains a rigorous workforce training program.Employees are encouraged to spend threehours in professional development eachweek. The goal, as stated in theCommander’s Principles, is to prepare the“workforce to answer tomorrow’s chal-lenges.”

Historically, JWAC’s employees have par-

ticipated in community outreach and disasterrelief. For example, teams responded to a tor-nado in La Plata, Md. in 2002 and toHurricane Isabel, which caused widespreaddamage and power outages in the region, in2003. More recent examples include thecommand’s support for the CombinedFederal Campaign (CFC), donating morethan $80,000 during 2011. Fund raisers aresponsored for the Enlisted Association, theNavy-Marine Corps Relief Society, theAmerican Cancer Society’s Relay for Life,employee donations to base holiday assis-tance programs, and a Christmas angel treein cooperation with Rappahannock AreaProject LINK.

JWAC employs about 450 engineers, sci-entists, military members, and support per-sonnel at its headquarters at the NavalSupport Facility in Dahlgren, Va. They areled by Captain Gary Shoman, USN, theeighth commander in the JWAC’s 17-yearhistory, and Mr. Robert A. Tolhurst, Jr., theExecutive Director since 2004. Formerly ajoint subordinate command of U.S. JointForces Command (JFCOM) in Norfolk, Va.for more than a decade, JWAC officiallybecame part of U.S. Strategic Command inOffutt Air Force Base, Neb., effective 1 June2011.

Since 1994, the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) has provided timely and accurate engineering and sci-entific analysis to military commanders and government officials to advance the national security strategy ofthe United States.

To accomplish its mission, JWAC uses information provided by its partners in the intelligence community toanalyze some of the most complex problems faced by military and civilian leaders alike and, by applying rig-orous analytical methods, recommends solutions to these problems. It handles both crisis operations andcontingency planning. Among its customers are combatant commands, the Joint Staff, and civilian agencieslike the Departments of State and Treasury.

The Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) provides combatant commands, Joint Staff, and other customerswith precise technical solutions to carry out the national security and military strategies of the United States.JWAC maintains and enhances its ability to conduct comprehensive technical analysis.

20th Space Control Squadron,Detachment 1

The 20th Space Control Squadron,Detachment 1 (20 SPCS, Det 1) was estab-lished Oct. 1, 2004 as a component of the 20thSpace Control Squadron headquartered atEglin Air Force Base, Fla. Upon activation,the unit assumed both the Naval SpaceSurveillance System (renamed “Air ForceSpace Surveillance System” (AFSSS)) and theAlternate Space Control Center (ASCC) mis-sions from Naval Network and SpaceOperations Command. On April 30, 2010, theunit transferred the AFSSS and ASCC opera-tional missions to the 614th Air & SpaceOperations Center, Detachment 1 (also locatedat NSF Dahlgren). The unit mission is to sus-tain space control and command and controlcapabilities. 20 SPCS, Det 1 accomplishesthis mission by supporting Distributive SpaceCommand and Control (DSC2) – Dahlgren(the new name for the ASCC mission) andAFSSS operations. The detachment is mannedby active duty Airmen, Air Force civilians andcontractors.

The AFSSS radar system has been operatedcontinuously since 1961 to detect overflyingspace objects and debris. The AFSSS consistsof a network of nine transmitter/receiver fieldstations which combine to form vertical bi-static radar which creates a “fence” of electro-

magnetic energy. The system is capable ofdetecting objects as small as a basketball, andnearly six million satellite detections, or obser-vations, are collected by the AFSSS eachmonth. AFSSS data is transmitted continu-ously to 20 SPCS, Det. 1 at Dahlgren, Va., andthe unit processes the observations using anarray of computer systems and applications.

DSC2-Dahlgren is the alternate commandand control node for the Joint SpaceOperations Center-Space SituationalAwareness Operations Cell at Vandenberg AirForce Base, Calif. DSC2-Dahlgren tasks theSpace Surveillance Network, a worldwide sys-tem of sensors (both radar and optical), todetect, track and observe orbital objects. Thecollected data is transmitted to 20 SPCS, Det.1 computer systems where it is processed, cat-aloged and analyzed. The observations areused to update the Space Catalog which is acomprehensive listing of the number, type,and orbit of more than 23,000 man-madeobjects in space.

International Space Station crews. They alsowork Laser Clearinghouse requests to ensureLaser test fires do not interfere with on orbitassets. Collocated and working hand-in-handwith Naval Network Warfare CommandSpace Operations, DSC2-D enhances theDepartment of the Navy SatelliteVulnerability Program by providing nearreal-time notification to the Naval Fleet ofpotential hostile Space-BasedReconnaissance Systems and provides spacesituational awareness products and servicesin support of United States StrategicCommand.

They task the space surveillance networkto observe and track satellites and matchthose sensor observations to more than18,000 man-made orbiting objects and updatethe position of each one. These updates formthe Space Catalog, a comprehensive listing oforbital parameters for objects in space. Thisdata is used to provide the space surveillancenetwork with up-to-date information formore efficient satellite tracking.
