Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center
San Diego, CA

The Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center, San Diego (SSC San Diego) is one of three Systems Centers under the SPAWAR Systems Command. SSC San Diego is responsible for development of the technology to collect, transmit, process, display and, most critically, manage information essential to naval operations. Headquartered in San Diego, California, with detachments in Hawaii, Guam, and Japan, ad employing nearly 4,000 civilian and military personnel, SSC San Diego develops the capabilities that allow decision-makers of the Navy, and increasingly of the joint services, to protect their own forces and carry out their operational missions.

These capabilities include sensors to track submarines, surface ships and aircraft; communication networks and data links to transmit critical information; navigation systems to pinpoint position; command and control systems to process and display tactical information for officers in command.

To support the system engineering and integration functions that are key to SSC San Diego's efforts, the command also maintains research programs pushing the state-of-art in such diverse fields as atmospheric physics, electro-optics, underwater acoustics, engineering psychology, signal propagation and processing, artificial intelligence, material science, microelectronics, chemical oceanography, environmental and biological sciences.

SSC San Diego leadership and technology areas are:

Command, control and communication systems
Command, control and communication system countermeasures
Ocean surveillance systems
Command, control and communication modeling and analysis
Ocean engineering
Navigation systems and techniques
Marine mammals
Integration of space communication and surveillance systems
Environmental quality technology
Microelectronics
Signal processing
High-performance computing
Display technology
Software Engineering
Propagation (acoustic, radio, electro-optic)
Basic and applied research is performed in science and engineering disciplines relating to all of the areas listed above.
