USA: Raytheon Wins USD 60.3 Million ISE Contract for Landing Platform Dock 26

Raytheon Co., Integrated Defense Systems, San Diego, Calif., is being awarded a $60,360,995 modification to previously awarded contract (N00024-11-C-2404) for the procurement, production, and test of the Integrated Shipboard Electronics (ISE) for Landing Platform Dock (LPD) 26 with an option for LPD 27 ISE.

This contract includes options, which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of this contract to $111,347,220. Work will be performed in San Diego, Calif., and is expected to be completed by February 2017. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity.

The San Antonio class is the United States Navy’s new primary class of amphibious transport dock (LPD). Twelve San Antonios were originally planned, but funding for the San Antonio class was reduced as a result of budget cuts, and only ten ships will be funded. There are currently four San Antonio-class LPDs under construction and five in commission as of January 2010; LPD 26 has been awarded, while LPD 27 and 28 are planned, but have not been awarded to a shipyard or all named.
