The half-mile-long Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) building in San Diego looms next to Interstate 5, in Old Town, near San Diego International Airport. Formerly known as SPAWAR (Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command), NAVWAR administers and develops surveillance, command, control, communications, and intelligence programs and operations for the Navy, and is associated with the naval ocean surveillance and electronics research programs at nearby Point Loma. NAVWAR also has connections to the Navy’s test ranges at China Lake and Point Mugu. The NAVWAR building is a former Convair aircraft plant, known as Air Force Plant 19, which built bombers in World War II, and later made missiles and Atlas ICBM components for General Dynamics.
