NAWCWD employees and guests attend the NAWCWD fiscal year 2024 Innovation Awards ceremony June 11, 2025, in the Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30 hangar at Naval Air Weapons Station Point Mugu, California. The Gulfstream NC-20G aircraft in the background serves as a visual reminder of how NAWCWD innovations integrate into operational Navy platforms, directly connecting the ceremony's honorees to the broader warfighter mission.
