When completed, the 54,000 square foot facility will include six laboratories and a five-story periscope tower designed to repair and certify periscopes, submarine communications systems, electronic warfare equipment, and imaging/optical systems. The new building will provide space for both personnel and equipment for prototyping, acquisition and production support, as well as in-service engineering and test functions.Learn more from NUWC.
