General Dynamics Electric Boat, the shipbuilding unit of Reston-based aerospace and defense giant General Dynamics, won a $987 million contract modification from the U.S. Department of Defense, the company announced this week.
The modification will allow additional component development, class lead yard support and Submarine Industrial Base development in the production of new submarines for the U.S. Navy.
“This contract modification funds important shipyard and supply chain work essential to achieving the necessary growth in output and supports our efforts to accelerate submarine delivery,” Mark Rayha, president of General Dynamics Electric Boat, said in a statement. “The ongoing support for the shipyards and our supply base from the Navy, Congress and the administration is appreciated and necessary for us to meet the Navy’s current and future demand for submarines.”
According to the announcement, most of the work will be completed in Groton, Connecticut — Electric Boat’s headquarters — and about 15% will be performed in Newport News. The remaining 15% will be done in Rhode Island. The work is expected to be finished by December 2031, and the Naval Sea Systems Command is the contractor.
