ARLINGTON, Va., November 13, 2003. The U.S. Navy has awarded General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems a $6.9 million contract to provide attack weapon control system trainers in fiscal year 2004. Work will be performed in Pittsfield, Mass., and is expected to be completed by May 2005. Under this contract, General Dynamics will produce, deliver and install the attack weapon control system at the Trident Training Facilities at Kings Bay, Georgia, and Bangor, Washington.

The systems will be used to train the SSGN crews prior to initial deployment and to provide replacement training throughout the deployment of the SSGN platform. General Dynamics is developing and producing the SSGN attack weapon control system under a contract originally announced in December 2002. The Trident SSGN is a multi-mission submarine optimized for covert strike and special operations support.

General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, employs approximately 66,900 people worldwide and anticipates 2003 revenues of approximately $16.1 billion. The company has leading market positions in mission-critical information systems and technologies, land and amphibious combat systems, shipbuilding and marine systems, and business aviation.
