WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The release stated on Friday that Lockheed has been awarded with a modification to a previously awarded contract to procure six AN/BVY-1 Integrated Submarine Imaging Systems and associated spare parts.
"The Integrated Submarine Imaging Systems provides mission critical, all-weather, visual, and electronic search, digital image management, indication, warning, and platform architecture interface capabilities."
The platform provides a flexible architecture for inserting future technologies and upgrades into the Submarine Warfare Federated System (SWFTS) process.
SWFTS consists of submarine combat systems, primarily command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence, that integrates submarine subsystems into one combat system for naval battle group interconnectivity.
Work is expected to be completed by October 2018.
