SEA CORP Awarded Navy Contract for Missile Programs

SEA CORP of Middletown, Rhode Island, has won a five-year, $11.6 million contract from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center to perform systems engineering and technical analysis services for Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) programs. Tomahawk and Harpoon are guided missiles fired from Navy surface ships and submarines. The work will include the test and evaluation of existing systems as well as supporting the development of new designs.

This contract is an important step in SEA CORP's continuing development as a full-service systems engineering company, according to Brian Gilligan, SEA CORP's President. "The work represents significant growth in the Company's core competencies," he said. "We have been involved in shipboard electronic combat control systems for nearly twenty years," he went on, "so expansion into the sophisticated weapons and UAV's associated with those control systems is a natural evolution for us. I'm extremely proud of our engineers and technicians whose solid performance is maintaining the company's strong position in the challenging defense engineering market."

For this effort, SEA CORP as prime contractor will be supported by the local offices of General Physics Corporation, Mystic, Connecticut and Middletown, Rhode Island.
