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 drew our largest attendance yet, with more than 1000 professionals from government, industry, and academia. The 2010 Fall Conference is scheduled for September 20-23, 2010 at the Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, CT. We hope to have another record turnout this year. The dates for the 2011 Spring Conference are March 28-31, 2011. Other division events scheduled include:

• Host Roundtable Discussions, the most recent of which was held July 14, 2010 with Under Secretary of the Navy Robert Work. 
• Participate with the SLAAD Division in an Executive Board Fleet Visit to the Pacific Theater Commands in spring 2010.
