Under
the DDG VI Radio Communications Systems (RCS) contract, BAE Systems’
experts will provide systems engineering, production, and integration
for 12 DDG 51 Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers and one
DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyer. The company has held
the RCS contract since 1985.
“We have a hard working and dedicated team of experts that has
worked on every DDG 51 class destroyer in the U.S. Navy’s fleet,
including most recently the USS John Finn,” said DeEtte Gray,
president of BAE Systems’ Intelligence & Security sector.
“That’s 63 new ships over 29 years.”
The work is being completed as part of the Navy’s new construction
program, which is designed to field advanced capability new surface
combatant ships for the U.S. Naval fleet. |
