General Dynamics Electric Boat has claimed a $118 million contract modification by the U.S. Navy to continue concept studies, engineering and design of a Common Missile Compartment for the UK’s Successor ballistic-missile submarine and the U.S.S. Ohio replacement submarine.
The award boosts a $76 million contract announced in December 2008 for engineering, technical services, concept studies and design of a Common Missile Compartment for the next-generation ballistic missile submarines currently being developed for the Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy.
The contract would have a total value of $600 million in the event that all options are exercised.
