The Defense Department said Thursday the company will support the restoration of the USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) and supply five upgraded AN/SPY-1D(V) phased arrays for in-service DDGs designed for ballistic missile defense.
The modification amount will be fully covered by the service branch’s funds for fiscal 2012 shipbuilding and conversion, fiscals 2017 and 2018 other procurement and fiscal 2018 operation and maintenance.
The Naval Sea Systems Command performed the contracting activity.
