The US Navy has awarded a $241.3m contract to Raytheon to provide additional open architecture software capability for the Navy’s Zumwalt Class destroyer (DDG 1000).

Under the contract, the company will deliver computer-graphical user interfaces and a technical data-manager capability to control the Zumwalt’s ship propulsion, integrated power, auxiliary and damage control systems.

The software development open architecture will support the integration of human-computer interface components for the ship’s engineering machinery controls and damage control systems.

In addition, Raytheon will also provide support to land-based and shipboard testing of the integrated subsystems.
