The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWC PD) recently awarded McKean Defense Group with two five-year contracts totaling more than $65 million.

The first contract is for $31 million for the engineering and technical services that support the shipboard Electronic Chart Display and Information System and the Situational Awareness Bridge Display System.

The second contract is $34 million for engineering, test and evaluation, logistics and installation, and shipboard support.

Tasks include program management, engineering, technical, and logistics services to test electrical and electrical control equipment, and in-service ship systems and equipment, refurbishment.

Ship modernization and direct-fleet support for afloat units, and program management for ship alterations, design, testing, and quality assurance management are included in the contracts.

“While McKean has supported both of these programs for several years, the awards reflect the opportunity for McKean to expand support for modernization and new program acquisition efforts,” Joseph Carlini, McKean Defense CEO, said. “NSWC PD is the customer on which McKean was founded, and the organization remains one of our most important clients. McKean’s Employee Owners recognize the mission criticality of the systems that these awards support and look forward to making an impact for the Navy.”

Work will be completed in Philadelphia as well as various Navy facilities worldwide.
