BAE Systems has been awarded a $62.5 million contract from the U.S. Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) based in Washington, D.C. Under the contract, BAE Systems will provide system engineering and integration support for the Trident II (D5) Fleet Ballistic Missile Strategic Weapon System (SWS) program.

In support of the Strategic Weapon System, BAE Systems will modify and update system test procedures and plan for and participate in SWS testing during submarine overhaul, refit and backfit. The company will also provide system engineering and integration efforts in the areas of system coordination, interface definition and control, technical documentation, fleet support, information systems, material support, facilities engineering, configuration management and logistics management.

"This award continues our 49 year relationship with the Navy's Strategic Systems Programs, exemplifying a true partnership," said Larry Wise, BAE Systems' president for Technology Solutions & Services. "We look forward to continuing our support to SSP and to the nation's most secure nuclear deterrent."
