The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) has announced plans to conduct range testing on March 28 and 30 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., which may produce very loud noise in communities surrounding the Naval Support Facility Dahlgren. Access to the Potomac River Middle Danger Zone, as described in 33 CFR 334.230, will be restricted during the testing.
As a center that delivers warfare systems to protect the nation and defeat its adversaries, the NSWCDD has the vision to design, develop, and integrate technologically superior warfare systems for the 21st century.
