OTTAWA, Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CCC is pleased to announce it was awarded a contract from the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) for an advanced winch system developed by Rolls-Royce Canada’s Naval Handling business to deploy, tow, and recover sonar equipment.
Through CCC’s contract, valued up to $110 million, Rolls-Royce Canada will supply the OK-410 Handling and Stowage Group system to the U.S. Navy’s Naval Undersea Warfare Centre (NUWC), along with spare parts and engineering services. The NUWC operates multiple facilities across the United States and plays a vital role in ensuring the U.S. Navy's technological edge in submarine and undersea operations.
Rolls-Royce Canada’s winch system is designed to launch, tow and retrieve the Multi-Function Towed Array (MFTA) for the AN/SQQ-89A(V)15 ASW Combat System. The winch system can handle heavy tow loads and incorporates advanced control systems that enable precise maneuvering and positioning of the MFTA in the water, which is essential for effective sonar operations.
Located in Peterborough, Ontario, Rolls-Royce Canada develops advanced Naval handling systems for Allied navies across the globe, including the Mission Bay Handling System (MBHS) for the Royal Navy’s Type 26 Global Combat Ship. Rolls-Royce handling system experts have been providing solutions to the naval industry for more than 35 years with a variety of products that are at the forefront of technology, and offer the capability to design, build, deliver and support naval systems tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
CCC is the designated contracting authority for purchases by the U.S. DoD from Canada over $250,000 USD.
