Valkyrie Enterprises has been awarded a five-year, $48 million deal to deliver engineering and technical services for U.S. Navy combat systems at the NSWCDD Dam Neck Activity.
The work includes integration and support for the AEGIS Combat System, Zumwalt-class platforms, Integrated Combat Systems, and C6ISR capabilities to strengthen fleet operational readiness.
Valkyrie Enterprises announced on February 13, 2026, that it secured a five-year contract worth $48 million to deliver engineering and technical support services for multiple U.S. Navy combat systems at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Dam Neck Activity.
The agreement includes support for unit-level combat platforms, the AEGIS Combat System, ZUMWALT-class combat systems, Integrated Combat Systems, and future Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Cybersecurity, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance capabilities. The effort is intended to sustain both fleet and shore-based operational requirements tied to readiness and combat integration.
The award extends an ongoing partnership between Valkyrie Enterprises and NSWCDD Dam Neck that has developed over the past five years. The contract covers engineering services, software and hardware integration, cybersecurity engineering, configuration and material management, and product integration for naval platforms and associated systems.
Company officials said the work will help ensure U.S. Navy personnel remain equipped with advanced technical support and system integration needed to operate against emerging threats. The contract also expands Valkyrie’s operational footprint at the Dam Neck facility and strengthens its role supporting naval combat system stakeholders.
The Dam Neck Activity focuses on force-level engineering, mission-critical control systems, and training technologies that support maritime domain awareness and command infrastructure for both deployed units and shore commands. The AEGIS system remains central to U.S. naval air and missile defense, while ZUMWALT-class systems represent advanced, network-centric combat capabilities built around automation and modern sensors.
Integrated Combat Systems bring together sensors, weapons, and command networks into a unified framework, enabling coordinated maritime operations. Engineering support contracts like this one aim to maintain system performance, ensure compatibility between evolving technologies, and strengthen cybersecurity as naval systems become increasingly network-dependent. The inclusion of C6ISR capabilities reflects continued integration of intelligence and communications within next-generation naval combat architecture.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division serves as a major technical authority for naval weapons engineering, testing, and lifecycle support, with its Dam Neck Activity providing solutions that connect fleet combat systems with command-and-control infrastructure across the U.S. Navy.
