Mission
The Undersea Warfare (USW) Division concentrates on the Navy's key core competency mission of countering submarine and mine threats to the free and open flow of sea borne commerce and to the conduct of power projection from the sea. The division is very broadly based. All Navy platforms and elements of the Navy force structure are involved in undersea warfare: submarines, surface combatants, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, surveillance units, and the Navy's command and control infrastructure. The USW Division has five active Technical Committees: Sensor Systems, Mine Warfare Systems, Undersea Vehicles (including weapons), Aviation, and C4I and Combat Systems.

Major Symposium/Show Affiliation
Joint Undersea Warfare Technology Conference
Each year, the Division sponsors two major three-day events, each of which draws several hundred professionals from the active duty Navy, the key Navy Secretariat, the Pentagon, SYSCOM program offices, Navy and university laboratories, and, naturally, the Defense Industry.
The most recent Division Fall Conference, "Warfighting and Preparing for War in the Future - 4th Generation Undersea Warfare," held September 24-27, 2012 at U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London, concluded with an attendance of over 700 professionals from government, industry, and academia.
We regret that the 2013 Joint Undersea Warfare Technology Spring Conference has been cancelled. Due to severe fiscal and travel constraints placed by the DoD, the Navy has informed us that they can no longer support the conference.

Host Roundtable Discussions, the most recent discussion held February 5, 2013 with RADM Barry Bruner, USN, CNO N97 Director Undersea Warfare Staff.
