Raytheon has received a modification to a previously-awarded contract for support for the US Navy’s Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG) 1000 class vessels.
The $121.5 million modification covers integrated logistics support and engineering services for the DDG 1000 class multi-mission surface combatants.
DDG 1000 combat systems provide offensive, distributed and precision firepower in support of forces ashore while incorporating signature reduction, active and passive self-defence systems and enhanced survivability features.
Work will be complete by January 2021.
Forming part of the Reconciliation Bill, the funding will support multiple efforts involving autonomous capabilities, interceptors, missiles, rockets and torpedoes.
The delivery acceptance of the future USS Pierre marks the conclusion of the construction phase for the Independence-variant.
The new Barracuda version has been engineered to perform enhanced subsea and seabed warfare missions.
The nearly $25 billion investment will cover USCG procurement of cutters, aircraft, helicopters, training simulators and Polar capabilities over the next four years.
After commissioning, FRC Frederick Mann will operate in Alaska and perform multiple missions.
The US Coast Guard (USCG) created new units, including five Programme Executive Offices (PEOs), to facilitate and speed up the procurement of new capabilities.
