The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division has awarded BAE Systems a new $143 million five-year contract to provide management, engineering, maintenance and IT support services for the US Navy’s Surface Combat Systems Center (SCSC) in Wallops Island, Virginia, to continue integrating mission equipment, combat systems and computer programmes.

These mission-essential systems are used by sailors across the fleet for all current and future cruiser, destroyer and amphibious ship modernisation initiatives.
“Our work at Wallops Island supports SCSC’s mission to provide increased readiness and improved capability to the fleet,” said Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions. “This effort is vital to our nation’s sailors in an increasingly challenging maritime environment.”
BAE Systems’ technical, engineering, and overall programmatic support for SCSC includes all major activities and engineering on the systems used for Surface Navy testing, training and support of deployed surface combat systems, advanced systems under development, warfare systems integration, interoperability and at-sea testing and exercises.
