BAE SYSTEMS Awarded $62 Million Strategic Systems Programs Contract

08 Dec 2004

BAE Systems has been awarded a $62 million contract from the U.S. Navys Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) based in Washington, D.C. Under the contract, BAE Systems will provide system engineering and integration support for the Trident I (C4) and Trident II (D5) Fleet Ballistic Missile Strategic Weapon System (SWS) programs. The contract is a continuation of a range of system engineering, test, analysis, IT, and logistics solutions performed by BAE Systems for SSP since 1956.

In support of the Strategic Weapon System, BAE Systems Technology Solutions will modify and update system test procedures and plan for and participate in SWS testing during submarine overhaul, refit and backfit. The company will also provide system engineering and integration efforts in the areas of system co-ordination, interface definition and control, technical documentation, fleet support, information systems, material support, facilities engineering, configuration management and logistics management. In addition, BAE Systems will provide planning and monitoring support in ensuring compliance with the U.S. Navys portion of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START).

BAE Systems will also provide effort for Tomahawk Land Attack Missile-Nuclear (TLAM-N) Support and Advanced Systems Studies.

Work will be performed primarily by personnel of BAE Systems Technology Solutions at its offices in Silver Spring, Maryland, and will be completed by September 2005.

This award continues our 48-year relationship with the Navys Strategic Systems Programs, said Robert Murphy, president, BAE Systems Technology Solutions. We look forward to continuing our system integration support to the nations most secure nuclear deterrent and remaining part of SSPs SWS team.
