The U.S. Navy awarded Hexagon US Federal Inc.’s Huntsville operation an almost $87.5 million contract modification for technology support that includes a diverse set of awareness system and cybersecurity enhancement.
The contract calls “for the procurement of surface ship Situational Awareness, Boundary Enforcement and Response (SABER) computing hardware production, spare parts and engineering support.”
Work will be performed in Huntsville and is expected to be completed by November 2028.
The Naval Sea Systems Command Cyber Engineering & Digital Transformation directorate developed the SABER system to provide cybersecurity defenses on board Navy surface ships.
SABER is a boundary defense and situational awareness system that performs continuous monitoring of Naval Control Systems.
SABER is integrated within different platform enclaves to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber events.
The Navy continues to seek a comprehensive, innovative digital approach to managing the complex SABER design, including automated approaches to supporting all of its engineering, cybersecurity and deployment requirements, according to Navy documents.
The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting agency.
Hexagon US Federal is an independent subsidiary of Hexagon Corporation exclusively focused on bringing the broad range of Hexagon technologies to the U.S. government and its partners. It has approximately 165 employees and is headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, with offices in Huntsville and Lanham, Maryland.
