, enabling us to successfully compete for contracts like this. This award is a result of that work and we look forward to working with our industry partners to meet the needs of our U.S. Navy customer." Bath Iron Works is the prime contractor under this contract, with partners General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Austal USA, CDI Corporation, and Marinette Marine Corp., a Fincantieri company. LCS is a fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in near-shore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation. It is designed to defeat asymmetric "anti-access"
General Dynamics Tests U.S. Navy UUVs
General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems completed the comprehensive risk reduction program for the U.S. Navy’s Knifefish Surface Mine Countermeasure Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) program. Designed to discover any potential systems defect early on in the program’s development phase, the configuration item test (CIT) successfully verified key components within the UUV system including the hardware architecture and critical areas of hardware and software integration. “The completion of this significant milestone is a great achievement for our Knifefish team,” said Thomas

GD to Take Next Step in 'Knifefish' Development
General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems completes the critical design review for 'Knifefish', the surface-mine countermeasure unmanned undersea vehicle (SMCM UUV). Knifefish is an essential component of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) mine countermeasure (MCM) mission package, providing U.S. Navy commanders and sailors with enhanced mine-hunting capabilities. The General Dynamics team will now begin the development of the system hardware and software to integrate the approved design via the fabrication of three engineering development modules. Expected to attain initial operational capability

mine hunter The U.S. Navy’s Knifefish UUV is a cutting-edge mine hunter, with the ability to find and identify mines, even the most challenging undersea environments. Knifefish is the new Surface Mine Countermeasure (SMCM) Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV), built by General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems of Mcleansville, NC,based upon a Bluefin-21 vehicle from Bluefin Robotics. The systems helps the Navy’s meet an urgent requirement to reliably detect and identify buried mines in high-clutter environments. The initial SMCM UUV System being acquired by
