General Dynamics Applied Physical Sciences Corp. of Groton received a $49,945,664 Navy research and engineering contract, according to Homeland Security Today’s reproduction of the October 9 federal contract announcement.
The award was made September 30. Work is to take place in Groton, with completion expected in September 2030. Naval Sea Systems Command is the contracting agency.
The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract covers engineering and technical design, prototypes and demonstrations, advanced hull treatments, acoustic and non-acoustic signature measurement, and studies of foreign technologies.
The notice says $3 million in Navy research funding would be obligated at award. That initial commitment is distinct from the nearly $50 million announced contract value. The procurement received one offer through a competitive broad agency announcement.
The published notice does not provide a hiring estimate or identify a particular ship class. This report attributes the award details to the reproduced federal notice; direct retrieval of the linked government announcement was blocked.
