The first deal concerns the integration and sustainment of the critical communication systems. As a part of the USD212 million contract company will design, acquire, integrate, and test radio systems for newly constructed Guided Missile Destroyers (DDG) and other U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard ships (USN upgrades Mk 45 naval guns, 2019-07-29).

Moreover, BAE Systems was awarded USD104.7 to provide engineering and technical services to support production, lifetime-support, and in-service engineering for the radio communications C5ISR (command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) systems aboard U.S. Navy surface combatants and at associated shore sites. The work will be focused primarily on the CG 47 Class and DDG 51 Class AEGIS vessels.
