A General Dynamics subsidiary has received a $40.7 million “undefinitized contract action” from the U.S. Navy to conduct the second phase of a project to redesign the main propulsion machinery control systems of Virginia-class submarines.
General Dynamics Electric Boat will help the Navy plan and facilitate the replacement of legacy MPM control systems of the submarines’ main propulsion unit and ship service turbine generator set, the Defense Department said Friday.
Work will occur in Sunnyvale, California, through May 2020.
The Navy’s Supervisor of Shipbuilding Conversion and Repair is the contracting office and the service branch obligated $20.3 million in fiscal 2016 shipbuilding and conversion funds at the time of award.
