SAIC will leverage its advanced digital engineering capabilities to revolutionize the Navy’s TD systems by streamlining the design conceptualization, prototyping, and fabrication processes of hardware and software. This approach will integrate cutting-edge modeling simulation (SIM) and stimulation (STIM)—enabling more robust system analyses, data-driven insights, and seamless cybersecurity implementation. These advancements will ensure that upgraded TD systems achieve new levels of operational effectiveness to enhance vessel survivability and empower the Navy to maintain superior mission success in evolving maritime threat environments.
The company will support critical NUWC TD systems such as AN/SLQ-25 Torpedo Countermeasures Transmitting Set (commonly known as “Nixie”), Acoustic Device Countermeasures (ADCs), MK 58 Compact Rapid Attack Weapon (CRAW), EX 2 Torpedo Warning System, Submarine Launched Unmanned Aerial System (SLUAS), as well as emergent technologies and intelligence projects for Navy and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) that guide upgrades to the TD systems.
“SAIC’s long-standing partnership with the Navy and NUWC is built on trust, technical excellence, and an unwavering commitment to the mission,” said Barbara Supplee, SAIC Executive Vice President of the Army Navy Business Group. “This award reflects the Navy’s confidence in our team’s continued ability to deliver the modern torpedo defense systems needed to protect our fleet and outpace emerging threats. We are proud to continue supporting NUWC Code 85 with the engineering rigor, innovation, and agility required to ensure our warfighters remain safe, informed, and ready.”
The follow-on task order supports key NUWC Code 85 program offices such as Undersea Warfare Systems Program Office (PEO-UWS PMS415), International Fleet Support Program Office (PMS326), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), among others.
