General Dynamics Mission Systems announced today that it has been awarded a $184 million contract for the full-rate production of Next Generation Electronics Attack Units (NGEAU) and sustainment support to the U.S. Navy. This contract underscores the General Dynamics commitment to making platforms and systems smarter and more secure.
The firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, awarded in September, is for full-rate production and the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract covers the sustainment efforts.
“General Dynamics Mission Systems is proud to support the U.S. Navy’s EA-18G Growler modernization with the Next Generation Electronic Attack Unit. This award advances the production and sustainment of a resilient, open-architecture capability designed to help ensure the fleet can rapidly adapt to evolving electronic-warfare threats,” said Scott Dunderdale, vice president and general manager, Land and Air Systems at General Dynamics Mission Systems.
This contract moves NGEAU into full-rate production as part of the Navy's EA-18G Growler Block II modernization program. The work will be conducted at the General Dynamics Mission Systems Bloomington, Minnesota facility beginning immediately and continuing through 2032.
