BAE Systems secures Virginia-class submarine propulsors contract through to 2032

The contract covers the manufacture of propulsor assemblies, engineering services, replacement parts and associated support services, with an ordering period extending through September 2032.

“BAE Systems is delivering the complex components essential to U.S. undersea dominance,” said Jason Casciotti, vice president of BAE Systems Weapon Systems.

“Our scaled facilities and skilled workforce are focused on strengthening the submarine force.

“By leveraging a proven track record of excellence for these critical components, we ensure the Navy has a reliable partner for propulsor manufacturing.”

Through proactive self-investment, advanced manufacturing and engineering capabilities in Louisville, Kentucky; Jacksonville, Florida; and Minneapolis, Minnesota, BAE Systems is developing the critical structures and support essential to meeting the Navy’s 1+2 submarine manufacturing cadence.
