Fox Island Laboratory

The laboratory provides a unique, shallow water, protected marine environment well-suited for support of research, development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E) projects for the Navy's Deep Submergence Program. This support includes conducting ocean engineering experiments, operational evaluation of naval vehicles and equipment, and training in the use of equipment. The laboratory also supports RDT&E projects involving: surface and subsurface navigation and tracking systems, remote underwater vehicle performance, specialized underwater tools; and operations and logistics support for fleet training and exercises.
