Road Trip: Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, Florida

The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) of the United States Navy is located in Orlando, Florida in the Central Florida Research Park adjacent to the University of Central Florida.

The facility is a part of a larger military installation within the Central Florida Research Park known as Naval Support Activity Orlando. The Commanding Officer (CO) of NAWCTSD, an aeronautically designated U.S. Navy Captain, is dual-hatted as the CO of NSA Orlando.

The division is the principal Navy center for research, development, test and evaluation, acquisition, life cycle program management and product support of all training systems, devices and programs for the U.S. Navy and aviation training systems for the U.S. Marine Corps. It also provides interservice coordination and training systems support for the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard.

The roots of the NAWCTSD reach back to April 1941 when then-Commander Luis de Florez became head of the new Special Devices Desk in the Engineering Division of the Navy’s Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer). De Florez championed the use of "synthetic training devices" and urged the Navy to undertake development of such devices to increase readiness. In June, the desk became the Special Devices Section.

Throughout World War II, the Section developed numerous innovative training devices including ones that used motion pictures to train aircraft gunners, a device to train precision bombing, and a kit with which to build model terrains to facilitate operational planning in the field.

Today, the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division is the Navy's source for a full range of innovative products and services that provide complete training solutions. This includes requirements analysis, design, development and full life cycle support.
