The US Navy has awarded two contract modifications to General Dynamics (GD) to continue development of the common missile compartment and to support nuclear submarine repair work.
Under the first $21m modification contract, subsidiary Electric Boat will acquire, produce and test prototype material and equipment.

The first contract, with a potential value of more than $692m, modifies a $76m contract announced in December 2008 for a common missile compartment.
