United Defense LP, based in Minneapolis, MN, is the original equipment manufacturer and sole supplier of these specific submarine components, possessing the unique technical expertise, experience, and resources needed to perform inspection, repair, alteration, and parts procurement efficiently and effectively within the required timeframe. This contract ensures the continued operational readiness of the VIRGINIA Class submarines by leveraging the exclusive capabilities of United Defense LP.
