Arcfield has won a USD 75 million follow-on contract to continue supporting the US Navy's submarine combat control systems program. The five-year award, channeled through recently acquired Rite-Solutions, cements Arcfield's expanded role in undersea warfare engineering and next-generation platform modernization.
Arcfield, a provider of government services and mission support, has been awarded a USD 75 million follow-on contract by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport to sustain engineering work on the Code 25 Combat Control Systems program. The five-year contract was formally issued to Rite-Solutions, a firm acquired by Arcfield in December 2025, and marks the combined entity's first major undersea warfare win since the transaction.
Work will be performed onsite in Newport and at Arcfield's Middletown office in Rhode Island, according to official disclosures. The program encompasses full-spectrum systems engineering, advanced development, hardware and software integration, cybersecurity, and testing for both new-construction and in-service submarine combat systems, including the AN/BYG-1 next-generation platform. Arcfield said the scope also covers model-based systems engineering and fleet and lab services to support modernization. The award continues a program originally secured by Rite-Solutions in 2018.
Arcfield's leadership indicated the company will leverage operational expertise from fleet-experienced submariners and enhanced digital engineering capabilities to accelerate delivery of resilient technologies to the Navy. The integration of Rite-Solutions expands Arcfield's technical depth in a program area where sustained performance over eight years has been critical to contract renewal. The transaction and subsequent contract award highlight a consolidation trend in the defense engineering services sector, where mid-tier contractors are scaling specialized capabilities to meet evolving military requirements for software-intensive platforms.
For investors and defense enterprises, the development signals Arcfield's strengthening position in undersea warfare modernization, a segment characterized by long procurement cycles, high barriers to entry, and stable multi-year funding. The contract also underscores the US Navy's commitment to upgrading submarine combat infrastructure, which may present additional opportunities for specialized engineering firms in cybersecurity, software development, and systems integration.
Regional stakeholders in Rhode Island's defense-industrial base are likely to see sustained, high-skilled employment activity tied to the program's extended performance period.
