Peraton Defense and Homeland Security president John Coleman said: “Peraton has been performing a wide range of specialised work for the US Navy’s UUV programme since 2001.

“These four UMSS recompete awards enable us to continue our trusted partnership in delivering performance excellence to advance NIWC Pacific’s mission, and to provide direct support to the US Navy with unmanned systems.”

Work began on the UMSS programme in 2015 following a base contract of $135.6m. The contract included an option for up to $228.5m.

Peraton has already supported navy missions such as mine countermeasures, force protection, anti-submarine warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).

Additionally, the company has delivered UUV fleet support representatives, UUV operations support, software development and maritime operations support.

The US Navy receives Peraton’s support from five prime locations in San Diego, California; Panama City, Florida; Little Creek, Delaware; Stennis, Mississippi; and Bahrain.
