Northrop Grumman has unveiled its new Aviation Ship Integration Center, a state-of-the-art research facility established in partnership with the U.S. Navy to conduct modeling, simulation, research, development and in-depth analysis for CVN 21-class aircraft carriers and other aviation-capable ships.

ASIC is located in the Herbert H. Bateman Virginia Advanced Shipbuilding and Carrier Integration Center and is comprised of two laboratories called SimLab and FlexLab.

SimLab is a 9,000 square-foot laboratory that houses a modeling and simulation facility, an integration facility for validation of new concepts and designs, and a collaboration center for government and industry partners.

FlexLab is a 2,400 square-foot laboratory that houses a full-scale mock-up of a portion of the warfare command and decision center for the next-generation aircraft carrier class, CVN 21.

Newport News engineers, designers and technologists will use FlexLab to investigate, prototype, test and validate current and emerging technologies which provide the capability to rapidly reconfigure the decision centers.
