The '''Naval Air Systems Command''', or NAVAIR, is the part of the [[United States]] [[Navy]] which provides materiel support for naval aircraft and airborne weapon systems, such as guided missiles. NAVAIR was established in [[1966]] as the successor to the Navy's [[Bureau of Naval Weapons]] (BuWeps).
