BAE Systems obtains four-year contract modification for Virginia-class propulsor components.
US Naval Sea Systems Command on 11 June awarded BAE Systems Land & Armaments an $18.81 million contract modification to manufacture and deliver more pump jet propulsor components and fixed assemblies for the Virginia-class attack submarine.
This followed the original $18 million contract awarded in December 2020.
Work will be performed in Louisville, Kentucky (90%); and Minneapolis, Minnesota (10%), and is expected to be completed by March 2025.
BAE Systems also produces payload tubes for Block V Virginia-class boats under contract to General Dynamics Electric Boat.
