The US Navy (USN) has been seeking additional companies to support the next phase of the modernisation of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers (DDG 51). Named DDG MOD 2.0, the coming stage will start in FY2029 and involve C4ISR and structural improvements.
It will include the installation of SPY-6(V)4 Air and Missile Defence Radar (AMDR) with updated AEGIS Baseline, SLQ-32(V)7 Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Programme (SEWIP) Block II, and High Efficiency Super-Capacity (HESC) Chillers.
