Command and Control System Module |

| Amount Requested: $5 million |
|
| Funding will support the design of a Common Command and Control System Module for current and future submarines. This program will allow for more efficient operation and maintenance and reduce ship costs. Reduced costs will allow for the purchase of more ships, further increasing the size of Rhode Island’s shipbuilding industrial base and helping the Navy to sustain the production rate of submarines necessary to fully support fleet size requirements and ensure our international naval supremacy. | |
