The Carderock 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.
The scope of Division products encompasses individual components, subsystems, the ship/submarine as a whole, and the Fleet. 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.
