Surface Combat Systems Center

Surface Combat Systems Center (SCSC) is a unique shore installation providing the best maritime and littoral environment, operational team, high-fidelity combat systems, and platform sensors. SCSC also has the ability to connect with ships, aircraft, and other land-based sites for Surface Navy testing, training, and support of deployed surface combat systems, advanced systems under development, warfare systems integration, interoperability, and at-sea testing and exercises.
