The Navy\u2019s primary IT organization is renaming its subordinate centers to better reflect the reality of information warfare<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Commander Rear Adm. Christian Becker told an audience Feb. 13 at the West 2019 conference that the SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic and SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific will now respectively be referred to as Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic and Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe missions will stay the same but a name\u2019s important because it tells us the focus that we need to have on information warfare,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is not changing the missions or functions and tasks of our centers, rather evolving to show and demonstrate that focus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The change is expected to take place Feb. 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the key distinctions Becker hopes the new names will bring is shifting focus from delivering a system to delivering a capability that aligns with the rest of the warfare centers across the platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we think about warfare centers in the Navy \u2026 we think of places like Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Surface Warfare Center. We\u2019re aligning and normalizing with that; Naval Information Warfare Center,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
