Road Trip: Naval Air Warfare Center, China Lake, California

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division (NAWCWD) is an organization within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), dedicated to maintaining a center of excellence in weapons development for the Department of the Navy (DoN). NAWCWD has two locations in Southern California; China Lake hosting the land test range and Point Mugu hosting the sea test range.

Nestled in the quiet Indian Wells Valley at the south eastern foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, China Lake is the premier land range and weapons development laboratory for the Department of the Navy.

While service to the Fleet underlies every program at NAWCWD, direct support is the most important activity at China Lake. NAWCWD Fleet Weapons Support Teams are with naval forces throughout the world providing hands-on assistance. Division senior scientists and engineers serve in 1- to 3-year assignments as on-site Science and Technology Advisors stateside, at sea, and abroad.

 New operational flight programs and weapons capabilities are taken directly to Fleet squadrons by NAWCWD teams who train aircrews and maintenance personnel aboard ship.

In times of conflict, the Division's Land, Sea, and Electronic Combat Ranges are made available to the Fleet for training, and development of urgently needed new weapons and electronic combat equipment is fast tracked. Prototype systems (such as the NAWCWD-developed Rapid Targeting System) are taken directly into world hot spots by Division teams to provide additional capabilities for the DOD warfighters.

Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

Looks like we’re in for a warming spell this week. Don’t mind 70s but don’t want it to be too hot by summertime.

what are you planning today? Howz the garden?

[E.G.C.]

It's going OK here. The poles were put up for the fence yesterday. Awaiting for them to come over and continue the work.

Bo and I enjoyed some time at the lake. He was chasing some rodents while we were out there.

Not much else going om.

Evening or morning as the case may be. Someone sent that picture of the koala to me and I thought its expression priceless. Some people here like to save pictures so I thought it’d be a good one for someone. Trust all is fine with you - (((hugs))) Janey
