In
2002, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) promulgated Sea Power
21. It
provides a framework to align, organize, and integrate the U.S. Navy
to meet the wide variety of challenges that lie ahead.
The CNO called upon the entire Navy, including the Naval Sea Systems
Command (NAVSEA) and the Warfare Centers (WCs), to find ways to become
more efficient and effective. To meet Sea Power 21 objectives
and to increase efficiency, the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC)
and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) have aligned to provide
seamless integrated support for 12 core Product Area Directorates.
The product areas are led by Product Area Directors that notionally
are very small planning and oversight offices. The day-to-day project
management, planning, staffing, and project execution will be provided
by the geographically diverse NSWC and NUWC Divisions.
The 12 core Product Areas are:
 Force
