Middletown-based Rite-Solutions has received a $39.3 million contract to deliver updated submarine battle control and training systems to the U.S. Navy’s Submarine Combat and Weapons Control Program Office (PMS 425). Rite-Solutions will provide design, engineering development, integration, testing, logistics, delivery, and life-cycle sustainment in support of the Inter Subsystem Monitoring Tool (ISMT) and On-Board Team Trainer Master Controller (OBTT-MC) applications.
“This work supporting PMS 425 is mission critical and ensures our submarine fleet possess the most advanced combat control system capabilities,” said Joe Marino, Rite-Solutions co-founder and CEO. “Rite-Solutions gives our customers an Information Advantage® by providing the cutting-edge technical expertise needed to deliver data to the warfighter quickly and efficiently.”
The acquisition will further extend the company’s support for PMS 425 and ISMT/OBTT-MC programs for at least seven years.
Rite-Solutions will lead a team that comprises itself, Lockheed Martin, SEACORP, Innovative Defense Technologies, and Wider Security to perform application modification, upgrades, test and evaluation, delivery, and legacy system support for the two programs.
“ISMT provides the sailor with a centralized location for monitoring and troubleshooting network traffic across the entire Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical Systems (SWFTS) Network, and OBTT-MC provides the onboard capability to coordinate team training across subsystems such as weapons, sensors, and launchers while simulating the combat environment,” said Andrew Thibaudeau, vice president of business development and strategy at Rite-Solutions.
“Rite-Solutions has supported PMS 425 and ISMT/OBTT-MC for the past 10 years and we are honored to continue supporting this important initiative for at least another seven years. We are proud of our role in ensuring these critical applications are operational for our sailors,” summarized Laurie Carter, Executive Vice President of Business Development and Strategy.
