Schafer Awarded DARPA-Navy Weapon Development Support Contract; Denise Kellogg Comments

Schafer Corp. has received a five-year, $23.5 million contract to assist in a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency–U.S. Navy joint weapon systems development effort.

Schafer said Tuesday the company would work to integrate, test and deploy the DARPA-Navy Long Range Anti-Ship Missile.

Denise Kellogg, Schafer’s vice president for science and technology, said the company would continue to “work with DARPA, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force as the capability moves toward operational deployment.”

DARPA has started to transition the LRASM program to the Navy.
