General Dynamics Information Technology, the Falls Church-based IT services business unit of Reston-based Fortune 100 aerospace and defense contractor General Dynamics, announced Monday that it has been awarded a $988 million contract to continue modernizing the U.S. Navy fleet.
The Ship and Air Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems support contract was awarded in December 2025. It has a one-year base period, four one-year options and a six-month option.
C5ISR systems allow military ships and aircraft to see what’s happening around them, communicate and make decisions during operations. GDIT says through the contract, it will modernize C5ISR systems to enhance naval forces’ operational effectiveness and readiness.
As part of the contract, GDIT will provide integration, engineering, procurement, logistics and installation services onboard the Navy’s combatant ships. These vessels include guided-missile ships, aircraft carriers, Coast Guard vessels, manned and unmanned aircraft and shore stations.
“C5ISR systems are foundational to how our Navy senses, communicates and fights in the modern battlespace,” GDIT Senior Vice President for Defense Brian Sheridan said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing to deliver innovative solutions to ensure these vital systems operate at peak performance and enable our warfighters to stay ahead of emerging threats.”
General Dynamics employs more than 110,000 people worldwide and reported $47.7 billion in revenue for 2024. It ranked No. 96 on the 2025 Fortune 500. GDIT reported $8.75 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024 and has about 30,000 employees.
The company’s GDIT business unit supports the development of advanced electronic warfare technologies for airborne platforms, provides training support services for more than 100,000 U.S. and allied sailors worldwide and delivers advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning services to modernize the Navy Enterprise Service Desk program.
