General Dynamics Electric Boat has received a $987-million contract to extend development and support for the US Navy’s nuclear submarine programs.
The deal includes component development, class lead yard support, and Submarine Industrial Base supplier development enhancements, as outlined under the force’s long-term plan to modernize its underwater combat fleet.
Services covered by the latest award encompass enterprise works related to the continuous production of the Columbia-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines and the Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines, as well as the Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Work will be facilitated across Connecticut, Virginia, and Rhode Island, and is set for completion by December 2031.
The US Navy’s current roadmap plans to expand the Columbia submarines to 12 platforms, the Virginia to 66, and the Ford to 10.
The military is now constructing one Columbia, and has commissioned 24 Virginias and one Ford.
