BAE Systems secures contracts for production of USN’s Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services
BAE Systems has been awarded contracts worth more than $30 million to produce and integrate a mission-critical information warfare platform for USN vessels.
The USN has issued two task orders for Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services (CANES) for two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, a Virginia-class submarine, and two Blue Ridge-class command ships (pictured).
Under the first task order from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command San Diego, BAE Systems will produce fully integrated CANES racks for two command ships, which are expected to be completed by February 2022.
Under the second task order, the company will produce fully integrated CANES racks for two destroyers and a submarine, which are expected to be completed by March 2022.
According to the manufacturer CANES consolidates five existing legacy network programs and serves as a single support framework for all C4I applications that require dedicated infrastructure to operate.
