# Navy Awards $194M SLCM-N Contract

In October 2026, the U.S. Navy modified General Dynamics Mission Systems’ contract by **$194 million** for engineering and technical work on the SLCM-N fire control subsystem. Work is scheduled through September 2028 and will support integration of the future nuclear-armed cruise missile on Virginia-class submarines. The effort is expected to add about 200 jobs across Massachusetts and Virginia; the announcement identifies no open solicitation.

- The modification centers on fire-control engineering for a submarine-launched weapons program, with potential supporting work in testing and platform integration.
- Contractors with relevant capabilities can assess whether they may support the program through teaming or subcontracting; the signal does not identify an open competition or specific solicitation.
