Arcfield has secured a $75 million follow-on contract from the United States Navy’s Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport to provide full-spectrum systems engineering and sustainment support for the Code 25 Combat Control Systems program. The company said the five-year award will expand work tied to submarine combat control systems, including the AN/BYG-1.
The work will be carried out at NUWC facilities in Newport, Rhode Island, and at Arcfield’s office in Middletown, Rhode Island. Under the contract, Arcfield will handle hardware and software development, systems integration and testing, cybersecurity, and advanced model-based systems engineering.
Kevin Kelly, Arcfield’s chief executive, said the company’s performance has built its reputation as “an innovative and dependable mission partner.” He added that the addition of Rite-Solutions’ talent broadens its ability to deliver sophisticated solutions across operational domains and that Arcfield is proud to help shape the Navy’s next-generation submarine combat control systems.
The award comes as Arcfield continues to build a deeper position in naval and strategic weapons work. In April, the company received a $117 million follow-on contract to support the Navy’s Trident II D5 Life Extension strategic weapon system program. Arcfield said it acquired Rite-Solutions in December 2025, a deal that adds technical capability to its defense portfolio.
The CCS program matters because it supports submarine combat control systems for both new construction and in-service boats, which keeps the work tied to platforms already in the fleet as well as future submarines. Arcfield has also been promoting AI-enabled tools and modeling capabilities through its subsidiary Strategic Technology Consulting, which launched Intelligent MBSE in 2025, and through a 2025 partnership with C3 AI to develop enterprise AI applications for defense and intelligence operations.
The contract underscores how the Navy is leaning on contractors that can cover engineering, software, cybersecurity and digital design in one package. For Arcfield, the new award deepens a relationship already reinforced by the April Trident II D5 contract and points to a broader role in submarine combat control modernization that is now moving from acquisition into execution.
