From the article:

> Mike McDonald, an aerospace engineer at the Naval Research Laboratory in Maryland, will be among the first [attempt to replicate their results]. He leads an internal program for independently testing advanced propulsion systems, which has previously shot down promising results from the EmDrive.

There might be such a place, although it’s more likely they’re trying to refer to the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC.

The U.S Naval Research Laboratory also has several facilities in MD. Including at Patuxent River, Chesapeake Beach and Blossom Point. Given the nature of the work I would guess it is referring to the facility at Blossom Point.
