About this program
The Advanced Capability Torpedo (MK 48 ADCAP) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program managed through the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program, designated with Department of Defense Acquisition Program ID 138-MDP, focuses on the development and procurement of advanced torpedoes for naval operations. The program represents a significant investment in undersea warfare capabilities for the U.S. Navy.
The program's contract awards are primarily administered through the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), with a notable fixed-price incentive contract awarded to Lockheed Martin Sippican, Inc. valued at $191.9 million for MOD 7 Guidance and Control Kit development and First Article testing. Contract durations observed range from short-term delivery orders of several months to multi-year development efforts spanning nearly a decade, as evidenced by the March 2011 to January 2020 period of performance for the primary contract. The analyzed contracts show no use of small business set-asides, suggesting a preference for established defense contractors with specialized maritime warfare capabilities. Contract types vary from firm-fixed-price delivery orders to more complex fixed-price incentive arrangements for development work, with obligations ranging from $4,363 to over $178 million.
