Next Generation SSGTG XT FADC - Synopsis

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) intends to negotiate and award a sole source contract to Woodward, Inc., 1041 Woodward Way, Fort Collins, CO 80524-3468.

This requirement is for the Next Generation Full Authority Digital Control (FADC) aboard DDG-51 class ships. The acquisition will fill a need for an improved Ship Service Gas Turbine Generator Full Authority Digital Control (SSGTG FADC).
