## What project 1950 buys

This project provides the engineering development required to outfit each ship of the Virginia Class Submarine with a combat system which satisfies ORD requirements in all 7 mission areas, namely; ASW, STRIKE, ISR, Covert Mine Warfare, Battle Group Support, ASUW, and Special Warfare. The fully integrated combat system, otherwise referred to as the Non-Propulsion Electronics System (NPES), is composed of a collection of functional sub-systems, such as sonar, navigation, exterior communications, weapons launch, Large Vertical Array, Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System (SWFTS) virtualization, Electronic Warfare Next Generation Architecture, etc., which evolve over the life of the program due to either competitive selection of new suppliers, component obsolescence replacement, increased technical performance, or improvements in reliability. Non-recurring engineering activity is needed to perform platform integration of the components, software modification to accommodate electronic data exchange, unique submarine environment qualification and update of all logistics products.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development.

## Named R-3 performers

| Performer | $M | Share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total |
|---|---|---|
| Lockheed Martin | 12.3 | 31% |
| Electric Boat | 1.8 | 4.5% |
| SSC | 1.3 | 3.2% |

> Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations. Shares need not reach 100% — unnamed and government work is in the denominator.

## Activities (R-2A) — 2

| Activity | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 | Move | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sonar, Combat Control, and Architecture (S/CC/A) Subsystems | 24.3 | 22.7 | 22.4 | −1% | [a0](https://hitchintel.com/programs/0604558N/1950/a0) |

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
