MOBILE, Ala. - Austal USA received a $10.6M order for the manufacture and outfitting of three electronic deck modules (EDMs) for the Virginia-class submarine program by prime contractor General Dynamics Electric Boat.
Construction will begin this fall and the modules are scheduled to be delivered to EB by mid-2025.
The construction these modules is the result of a strategic partnership formed in 2022 between Austal USA and Electric Boat to take a strategic sourcing approach to expanding the production capacity of the submarine industrial base.
In this partnership, Austal USA is constructing and outfitting Command and Control Systems Modules and EDMs for the Virginia- and Columbia-class sub programs.
Austal USA has continued to expand its facilities and workforce to support the growing demand of the submarine industrial base. The order for the three modules follows an initial order for a CCSM in February 2023. *Austal USA 09/11/23)
