L-3 Communications announced that it has received a $40.8 million contract from the Defense Supply Center in Richmond, Virginia, to upgrade and provide support services for the Navy’s SEAWOLF Class Attack Submarine Weapon Control System (WCS).This contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of the contract to approximately $147 million. The four-year contract upgrades and provides support services for SEAWOLF Class weapons control systems, including the AN/BYG-1 Tactical Control System (TCS). The AN/BYG-1 TCS is an advanced, open architecture, combat control system currently installed on all active SEAWOLF Class attack submarines, including the USS SEAWOLF (SSN-21), USS CONNECTICUT (SSN-22) and USS JIMMY CARTER (SSN-23). It is designed to manage the weapons control functions of the submarines, including torpedoes and missiles, while providing maximum interoperability with other fleet units. SEAWOLF Class attack submarines are designed to seek and destroy enemy ships and submarines in open ocean environments. The United States Navy considers these submarines to be one of its most valuable assets for dealing with post-Cold War missions.[mappress]Naval Today Staff, October 4, 2012; Image: US Navy navaltoday View post tag: News by topic View post tag: Navy View post tag: L-3 View post tag: receives View post tag: SEAWOLF View post tag: USS Back to overview,Home naval-today L-3 Receives $40.8M for SEAWOLF Class Weapon Control Systems Upgrade View post tag: Defence October 4, 2012 Share this article View post tag: Systems L-3 Receives $40.8M for SEAWOLF Class Weapon Control Systems Upgrade View post tag: Defense View post tag: $40.8M View post tag: class Industry news read more

Rewritten: The dynamic combination of powerful town-centre anchors such as White Sands and Pasir Ris Mall, along with the all-ages appeal of Downtown East, form a strong and resilient consumer ecosystem. With the implementation of the plan to revitalize shopfronts and improve street-level connections, daily errands are now easily accessible and dining out is no longer a logistical burden. This results in more time for families residing in Coastal Cabana to spend on quality moments together, rest, and recreational activities. The addition of Coastal Cabana Jalan Loyang Besar further enhances the convenience and efficiency of daily living.

Jim Hoke, program manager for the Persistent Maritime UAS office (PMA-262), which manages the Triton program. “We have every confidence that the system will meet the Navy’s ISR needs.”The Triton’s OA was conducted by the Navy’s Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA) Program Office (PMA-290)’s Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) Fleet Introduction Office (PMA-290E), at Patuxent River.During the five-day OA, the Triton successfully flew 50 hours as planners worked through a simulated deployment scenario designed to represent the system’s expected operational environment, evaluating its ability to integrate with the Navy’s manned P-8A aircraft. The team also reviewed Triton’s maintenance and support plans to ensure that the program is prepared for the Triton Preliminary Design Review scheduled for the spring of 2013.“We saw nothing during our OA that would preclude us from moving forward,” said Hoke. “We successfully demonstrated system capabilities, mission planning, the ability to communicate with the P-8A, as well as all the maintenance and logistics that come with a new system.”The next step for the MQ-4C is its operational test and evaluation, which will begin early next year. The ultimate goal is for the Triton to be operational by late 2015 when it is planned to deploy aboard Navy airfields worldwide.“We are excited to get the Triton to the fleet,” said Hoke. “We believe it is the right system that will address the Navy’s requirements.”Triton will conduct operations in concert with the P-8 Poseidon and will replace the aging fleet of EP-3E and EP-3Ds in the Navy’s Maritime Patrol Reconnaissance Force (MPRF).The Triton program has finished its preliminary design review and is currently building four test aircraft. The first two test aircraft, one of which will fly at Patuxent River, are expected to begin test flights in 2013.Naval Today Staff, November 9, 2012 View post tag: Defense View post tag: Naval Industry news View post tag: US Navy read more
