Amentum wins $91.8M Navy contract

Chantilly-based federal contractor Amentum Services announced last week that it has won a $91.8 million contract from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) to provide software engineering services that will help the U.S. Navy protect national security.

Under the contract, Amentum will use advanced technologies, such as model-based systems engineering, to transform Navy systems from a document-centric to a model-centric methodology. Amentum will also provide software engineering expertise about sensor data collection, exploitation, fusion, modeling and concept exploration.

“Amentum is the ideal partner to strengthen the Navy’s Sensor Systems by delivering innovative, adaptable, and cost-effective solutions,” Mark Walter, president of Amentum’s engineering and technology group, said in a statement.

Other components of the job include software design and development, configuration and data management, data science, tool development, technology development and insertion, prototyping and technology demonstrations.

The contract performance will last five-and-a-half years, starting Jan. 16, 2026. Amentum will deliver the project to NSWCDD’s electromagnetic and sensor systems department in Dahlgren and Fredericksburg.

Amentum has more than 53,000 employees in approximately 80 countries across all seven continents. The company was founded as a spinout of AECOM’s Management Services Group in 2020 and moved its headquarters from Germantown, Maryland, to Chantilly in 2023.
