UMM System Design & Integration Engineering

The contract encompasses systems engineering and integration services for non-hull-penetrating masts equipped with advanced imaging and communications payloads tailored for submarine platforms. The effort focuses on designing and integrating these masts to enhance situational awareness and data transmission capabilities while maintaining the submarine’s stealth and structural integrity by avoiding hull breaches. The work involves multidisciplinary engineering tasks including sensor fusion, electromagnetic compatibility, thermal management, and ruggedized enclosure design to ensure reliability in extreme underwater environments. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541330, indicating it falls within the scope of engineering services for defense applications, and is administered by the Naval Sea Systems Command under the Department of Defense. The solicitation was posted in May 2026, and performance is expected to occur at locations unspecified in the available data. The project emphasizes innovation in submarine sensor architecture, balancing functionality with operational constraints, and requires deep expertise in naval systems integration, non-intrusive antenna technologies, and secure communications protocols to meet the mission requirements of modern underwater platforms.
