sance) and the logistical structure to support it.

Contracts were awarded to three teams of companies. Each team will receive the contract amount for the development of their conceptual Deepwater sys- tem.

The prime contractors that will lead the three teams and their major sub-contractors are: • Avondale Industries, Inc., work- ing with Boeing-McDonnell

Douglas Corp., and John J.

McMullen Associates, Inc.; • Lockheed-Martin Government

Electronic Systems, working with

Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc.; • Science Applications

International Corp., working with

Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., Bath Iron

Works and Marinette Marine.

These groups will be collaborat- ing with various other companies that are members of their teams from across the nation.

Another interesting project is for the U.S. Navy, specifically for work on the phase 1 system con- cept design for the U.S. Navy's next generation DD 21 Destroyer

Program. Recently, Raytheon

Systems Co. received a subcontract from Ingalls Shipbuilding for inte- gration work on the Phase 1 sys- tem concept design. Raytheon is teamed with Ingalls to develop one of two competing concept designs over a 14-month period for the opportunity to participate in pro- ducing 32 ships in the DD 21 pro- gram, the U.S. Navy's next gener- ation of surface combatants.

In June, the Navy announced that the DD 21 Alliance of Ingalls and Bath Iron Works (BIW), Bath,

Maine, would establish two com- peting concept teams of ship- builders and systems integrators for the DD 21 program. Raytheon and Ingalls constitute the Gold

Team, competing against Lockheed

Martin and BIW, the Blue Team, to develop separate concept designs during Phase 1.

A follow-on Phase II effort will mature these two separate DD 21 system designs, culminating in each team submitting its proposal for a single contract award for

Phase 3 as the full service contrac- tor to complete design and build the DD 21 lead ship for delivery in 2008.
