Lexington Park Maryland sits adjacent to Naval Air Station Patuxent River — the US Navy's primary flight test center and the hub of naval aviation research and development. PAX River tests every new Navy aircraft including the F-35C and develops future naval aviation systems. The installation houses thousands of engineers, test pilots, and defense contractors working on classified programs. St Mary County sits at low elevation on the Chesapeake Bay watershed with significant flooding risk. NAS Patuxent River is a priority target for Chinese intelligence collection given its role in future naval aviation development.
