Contract for Submarine Special Sensors

SEA CORP won a five-year, $2.85 million contract from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center to install special sensor packages and data acquisition equipment in Navy submarines.

"The work will involve setting up special equipment on submarines before they go out on a mission and then removing it upon the boat's return. We'll have to do some design work to build special cables and junction boxes for various boats. Each installation may be slightly different," said Brian Gilligan, SEA CORP's founder and President. The special sensors measure environmental conditions, such as temperature, turbulence, sound propagation and salinity in various parts of the ocean. The data is retrieved and used for post-mission analysis and to provide a database of information to be used in future operations. Also included in the contract tasking is the training of the crews in the use of the special equipment. The new work follows on the heels of another Navy contract awarded to SEA CORP just last month ($35 million for engineering and testing services).
