Industry Day Showcases Large-Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Program
NEWPORT, R.I. — The Navy’s Unmanned Maritime Systems program office and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport recently hosted an industry information day as the government develops its acquisition strategy for the Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (LDUUV) program, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) said in an Oct. 6 release.
The Navy is looking to large and small businesses, including small business innovative research, to meet its program needs.
“This specialized industry day further highlights efforts of NAVSEA and the program executive offices to engage businesses of all kinds, especially small businesses who can offer innovative solutions across our portfolios,” said Bill Deligne, NAVSEA executive director. “We awarded almost $2.5 billion in contracts to small businesses in fiscal year 2016 and we continue to see the return on investment as they support our programs’ mission critical work.”
