The Naval Sea Systems Command has just awarded Systems Engineering Associates Corporation (SEA CORP) an $8.3 Million contract to support integrating Tomahawk missile strike capability onboard US submarine platforms.
SEA CORP will provide systems engineering, technical, and program management support to the Naval Undersea Systems Center in Newport for current and future submarine Tomahawk Missile Weapon Control Systems. The work will include concept development and system requirements definition; analysis and design support; interface engineering; missile system external communications support; integration, test and evaluation, installation support; and technical data documentation.
"The Tomahawk missile has been one of the most effective systems in providing a precision strike capability from a covert submarine platform. With our need to have strike forces positioned in forward areas, Tomahawk missile equipped submarines provide a quick-reaction force that can be used to support conflicts virtually anywhere on the globe", said Robert McDevitt, SEA CORP’s Business Area Manager for Systems Engineering. "We have supported the Navy in this area for many years and we are proud to be a part of this vital warfare area to help enable our forces effectively conduct strike operations from the sea," he added.
