SPAWAR`s mission is to work closely with the fleet, systems commands and Navy partners to deliver interoperable and secure information warfare capability by acquiring and integrating sensors, communications, weapons, information and control systems for existing and future ships, aircraft, submarines, unmanned systems and the associated shore based support systems. Over the last decade, information has emerged as a warfighting domain, joining land, sea and air as a critical, contested battlespace. As the Navy`s information warfare systems command, SPAWAR is the Navy acquisition command that develops, delivers and sustains communications and information warfare capabilities for warfighters, keeping them securely connected anytime, anywhere. With a space support activity, two research and development system centers and through partnerships with three program executive offices, SPAWAR provides the hardware and software needed to execute Navy missions. SPAWAR consists of more than 10,000 active duty military and civil service professionals located around the world and close to the fleet to keep SPAWAR at the forefront of research, engineering and acquisition to provide and sustain information warfare capabilities to the fleet. SPAWAR products and services transform ships, aircraft and vehicles from individual platforms into integrated battle forces, delivering and enhancing information warfare among Navy, Marine, joint forces, federal agencies and international allies. Internally, SPAWAR is organized into eight competencies: finance, contracts, legal, logistics and fleet support, engineering, acquisition and program management, science and technology and corporate operations. We are proud that SPAWAR`s influence spans the globe, and we would love to have you onboard as part of our team!
