The U.S. Navy awarded Science Applications International Corp.
(NYSE: SAIC) a prime contract worth approximately $120 million to
provide mission engineering and integration support to produce,
test and deliver MK48 heavyweight torpedo fuel tanks for the Naval
Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport. The firm-fixed-price
contract was awarded and began in October 2020 and has an 18-month
base period of performance with four option years.
In support of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Keyport,
Washington, SAIC will provide all necessary facilities, resources,
and management necessary to meet the production, test, and delivery
requirements of both MK48 heavyweight all-up-round exercise and war
shot fuel tank configurations for Navy and foreign military sales
customers.
“SAIC is proud to expand our work on the MK48 heavyweight
torpedo system for the U.S. Navy,” said Bob Genter, SAIC president,
Defense & Civilian Sector. “We are confident that our proven
performance on the MK48 afterbody/tailcone program will be mirrored
in the fuel tank program.”
NUWC Keyport provides technical leadership, engineering
expertise, and unique facility complexes that serve to ensure
sustainment of undersea warfare (USW) superiority for the United
States. As one of two divisions of the Naval Undersea Warfare
Center, Keyport’s mission is focused on developing and applying
advanced technical capabilities to test, evaluate, field, and
maintain undersea warfare systems and related defense assets. These
advanced technical capabilities directly support the full spectrum
of Navy undersea programs.
“We pride ourselves on providing reliable, innovative solutions
to support NUWC Keyport, and we look forward to expanding our work
on the MK48 heavyweight torpedo over the next five years,” added
Josh Jackson, SAIC senior vice president for the Naval Business
Unit, Defense & Civilian Sector. “Our team is excited to get to
work in providing the reliable exercise and war-shot torpedoes the
Navy requires.”
Currently, SAIC manufactures the MK48 Mod 7 heavyweight torpedo
afterbody/tailcone sections and handles the testing and data
collection for MK48 heavyweight Torpedoes, and MK54 lightweight
torpedoes for the Naval Sea Systems Command in support of NUWC
Division Newport. Work for these contracts is performed in Bedford,
Indiana; Middletown, Rhode Island; and Indianapolis, Indiana.
