Communication & Information Warfare (IW) Program Support

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Charleston (SSC-C) has several communications and Information Warfare (IW) programs that support or relate to the Government's ability to maintain strategic and tactical dominance. SSC-C oversees and manages technical network operations, applications research, and new technology transfer. Numerous technical networks process classified and unclassified information at Navy sites ashore and afloat. SSC-C continuously monitors and field-tests deployed systems, system upgrades, and systems under development to ensure Fleet communications needs are met. SSC-C also evaluates and tests new technologies to determine their usefulness to many US and foreign government agencies. SSC-C anticipates a contract to research, develop, evaluate, test, and support classified and unclassified work under these new technologies.
