Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced it was awarded contracts valued in excess of $225 million by Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (BPMI) to provide advanced propulsion valves, pumps and instrumentation and control systems for the U.S. Navy’s Virginia-class nuclear powered attack submarine, Columbia-class submarine and Ford-class aircraft carrier programs. Under the agreement, Curtiss-Wright will supply critical technology to support ongoing ship construction and fleet maintenance activities.
“Curtiss-Wright is proud to provide mission-critical products that enhance the performance, reliability, and readiness of the U.S. Navy’s nuclear fleet,” said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “The Company maintains a longstanding partnership with the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, consistently delivering highly engineered solutions that contribute to our nation’s strong defense capabilities. Furthermore, Curtiss-Wright remains well positioned to benefit from the administration’s continued strong funding for naval shipbuilding supporting the acceleration of production on its most critical platforms.”
Curtiss-Wright is performing this work at its facilities in New York and Pennsylvania within the Company’s Defense Electronics and Naval & Power Segments. Engineering, manufacturing, and testing are currently underway, and will continue through 2030.
