Pentagon awards $5 billion contract to speed up ship manufacturing

  • On July 1, 2025, the Pentagon committed a minimum of $72.6 million to continue the development of a new Navy submarine tender at the San Diego shipyard operated by General Dynamics-NASSCO.
  • This payment supports a contract within the $5 billion Maritime Acquisition Advancement Contract , which aims to accelerate ship manufacturing and streamline procurement.
  • The MAAC involves six companies including SupplyCore and covers component manufacturing for a wide range of Navy vessels amid pressure to modernize shipbuilding methods like 3-D printing and augmented reality.
  • BlueForge Alliance and Palantir launched ''Warp Speed for Warships,'' using Palantir's Warp Speed system to enhance supply chain visibility and accelerate production timelines in partnership with the Navy.
  • These efforts respond to challenges such as aging shipyards, delayed Columbia-class submarines, and the need to boost naval ship production to maintain U.S. maritime superiority.
