Curtiss-Wright Corp has been awarded contracts valued at more than US$130 million to provide propulsion valves, pumps and advanced instrumentation and control systems for the US Navy’s Virginia-class nuclear powered attack submarine, Columbia-class submarine and Ford-class aircraft carrier programs.
The awards were received from Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc (BPMI) to support ship construction, spare parts and submarine back-fit procurements.
Curtiss-Wright is performing this work at its facilities in New York and Pennsylvania within the company’s Defense Electronics and Naval & Power Segments.
Engineering and manufacturing have already started and will continue through 2029.
