The Center for Naval Analyses (CNA), a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), is sponsored by the Department of the Navy and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. CNA's mission is to help Navy and Marine Corps leaders ensure America's defense in the 21st century. CNA is unique because of its real-world, empirical, and data-driven approach to operations analyses and use of data scientists as expert observers of military operations. CNA is the nation's oldest operations research organization with lineage tracing back to World War II (1942) when CNA scientists went to sea aboard Navy ships to observe and analyze anti-submarine warfare operations in order to help defeat German U-boats. Its research staff has diverse educational disciplines with nearly 70% with Ph.D. degrees and 92% having graduatelevel degrees.
