The U.S. Navy has awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for $45 million to Ultra Electronics Ocean Systems for support of the AN/BPS submarine radar software management system. The cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contract for the Braintree, Mass. company is for the engineering and technical service for the design, development, testing, integration, and system support of the AN/BPS. With all options exercised, the contract has the potential to reach a total value of over $100 million with completion by May 2026.
Tom Link, president of the company’s Ultra Maritime Division commented: “Ultra Electronics is proud to continue our partnership with the U.S. Navy as the system and software provider on the AN/BPS submarine navigation radar. With the continued increase in global maritime traffic, the demand for safe surfaced navigation of the U.S.’ Submarine Fleet has never been greater. Ultra’s role to continue to provide new and improved radar processing and display capabilities for the Navy’s submarine forces will bring about modern navigational displays, improved situational awareness to the operators, and safety to the fleet.”
