United StatesDescription
The Carderock Division consists of
approximately 3,800 scientists, engineers and support personnel
working in more than 40 disciplines ranging from fundamental
science to applied/in-service engineering. We are the Navy's
experts for maritime technology. Headquartered in West Bethesda,
Md., the Division houses world-class facilities and laboratories. A
major operating site in Philadelphia is recognized as the center
for naval machinery. The Division also conducts research and
development at several remote sites across the country. As a major
component of the Naval Sea Systems Command the Carderock Division
provides cradle-to-grave support for its technical products over an
enormous range of scientific areas related to surface and undersea
platforms. The Division addresses the full spectrum of applied
maritime science and technology, from the theoretical and
conceptual beginnings, through design and acquisition, to
implementation and follow-on engineering. This includes all
technical aspects of improving the performance of ships,
submarines, military water craft, and unmanned vehicles, as well as
research for military logistics systems. In addition, the Division
is uniquely chartered by Congress to support America's maritime
industry.
Mission
The mission of the Carderock Division is to
provide: research, development, test and evaluation, fleet support,
and in-service engineering for surface and undersea vehicle hull,
mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) systems and propulsors;
logistics research and development; and support to the Maritime
Administration and maritime industry.

Security Clearance : Non Security LabSquare Footage: 0 The Cargo and Weapons Facility consists of a suite of full scale and component test facilities contiguously located in building 77H. The site was constructed in 1987 to address and solve the technical problems encountered from the diverse population of these systems in the Fleet (i.e., over 600 different types of elevators, 21 different capacities, 250 different designs and 64 different manufacturers). It includes: a full scale, 6 story Cargo/Weapons Elevator Land Based Engineering Site, a vertical package conveyor test site having three shipboard type conveyors, temperature and humidity controlled machinery, electrical control and power unit rooms and modular layout to facilitate shipboard configuration and other testing that is cost prohibitive at sea.
