The company will provide steering control, navigation control and machinery control systems for the following vessels: Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers; Zumwalt-class destroyers; Whidbey Island-class and Harpers Ferry-class landing ship docks; San Antonio-class amphibious transport docks; Wasp-class and America-class amphibious assault ships; and both design variants of the Littoral Combat Ship.
