Progeny Systems, acquired by General Dynamics’ Mission Systems in 2022, has been contracted by the U.S. Navy for information assurance (IA) and reliability monitoring system software for submarines. The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a one-year base value of $20.4 million but could be worth as much as $108.9 million over a five-year period.
The base contract is expected to last until December 2024, but it will run through December 2028 if all options are exercised. Work will be performed in Virginia and Rhode Island.
