VX-1 Squadron Patch

The current primary mission of VX-1 is to conduct tests, evaluations, and investigations of antisubmarine warfare aircraft weapons systems, airborne strategic weapons system, support systems, equipment, and materials in an operational environment. The squadron also develops, reviews, and disseminates new ASW tactics and procedures for fleet use, serving as the model manager for all Air ASW tactical publications. Because of the squadron's unique position as an inter facing unit between the development of new weapon systems and their subsequent introduction into the fleet, VX-1 is considered the squadron that "does it first."
