Underwater Weapons System Laboratory (UWSL)

This laboratory is for the development and testing of highly sensitive magnetometers, for mapping and measuring the magnetic fields around objects, for the analysis of motional noise in superconducting magnetic gradiometers, and for evaluating magnetic sensing systems based on the principles of superconductivity. Facilities include the capability to physically stimulate or simulate magnetic, pressure, and acoustic influence fields individually or in combination via computer control. The laboratory provides a calibrated test bed for acoustic and magnetic measurements.
