NSWCDD and West Virginia University Partner on ‘Damaged States’ Tool to Transform Surface Warfare
April 19, 2021 — When surface warfare officers fire a missile to intercept a threat while defending their warship, what happens when the threat missile sustains specific types of damage at a specified range?The Navy is collaborating with West Virginia University professors and students who are using a wind tunnel to help crack an aerodynamic code necessary to...

IMAGE: A test model of a damaged missile with a missing wing and tail fin is pictured at West Virginia University’s wind tunnel. Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) threat engineers are performing analysis to predict the aerodynamics of damaged states systems to produce prototype research methods and simulations. Research conducted by West Virginia University in collaboration with NSWCDD aerospace and threat engineers – especially its wind tunnel testing – is playing a significant role in evaluating the munition effectiveness of nonlethal engagement scenarios in support of the NSWCDD Damaged State Modeling of a Post Intercept Threat Program.
