About this award

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL), headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, was awarded a $1.8 million delivery order for AUKUS Combat Systems Engineering (SSF60) by the Naval Sea Systems Command on January 30, 2026. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order is scheduled for completion by January 29, 2029, and represents work performed at APL's Laurel, Maryland facility. The contract carries no set-aside designation, reflecting the specialized and technical nature of the services required. AUKUS—the tripartite security alliance between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—has prioritized advanced naval capabilities and combat systems integration, positioning this award within APL's broader portfolio of naval systems engineering and integration work supporting national security objectives.

This delivery order falls under APL's established relationship with Naval Sea Systems Command, which has previously funded multiple naval-focused awards ranging from $2 million to $42.6 million for systems engineering, analysis, and naval combat systems integration. APL's demonstrated expertise in systems engineering, technology maturation, and prototype development across complex defense domains makes the laboratory a critical technical partner for naval modernization initiatives. The organization's experience delivering sophisticated technical solutions through cost-plus-fixed-fee structures enables flexibility for research and development activities, supporting the government's ability to rapidly access specialized capabilities without lengthy individual procurement processes.
