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, "Undersea Warfare Command in the 21st Century," held September 26-29, 2011 at U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London, concluded with an attendance of near 1000 professionals from government, industry, and academia. Planning has begun for the upcoming 2012 Spring Conference, scheduled for March 19-22, 2012. New at this event will be a focus session on Warfighter Performance. Visit the conference website for more information. Other division events scheduled include:
-
Host Roundtable Discussions, the most recent of which was held June 9, 2011 with VADM Terry Blake, OPNAV N8.
