Strategic Intent: To communicate the innovations and cutting-edge technologies used to support full-spectrum readiness for U.S. Sailors and Marines.
Prototyping & Fabrication Lab:
From bold ideas to air-ready aircraft, NAWCAD's Prototyping,
Instrumentation & Experimentation (PIE) team designs, builds and tests
cutting-edge systems for the Navy and beyond - quickly and efficiently.
Prototype. Test. Fly. Repeat.
EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse Lab):
NAWCAD's Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) site at Patuxent River Naval Air
Station is the largest of its kind in the U.S.
Here, the team tests aircraft, missiles and ground systems against the
powerful electromagnetic waves that could result from a nuclear
detonation in space. The mission? To ensure our military’s technology can
survive and fight back if the unthinkable happens.
GaIA Lab:
For the first time, the Navy can precisely test how well modern oxygen
systems remove impurities to ensure safe air for aircrew. Take a look at
how the team in the GaIA lab at Patuxent River Naval Air Station is testing
on-board oxygen systems to see if they meet the latest military standards.
