DRS Naval Power Systems Inc.

DRS Naval Power Systems Inc., doing business as DRS Power & Control Technologies Inc., manufactures and supplies advanced electrical components, power systems, and control technologies for U.S. Navy vessel construction, maintenance, and modernization as a prime contractor on 83 percent of recent awards and a subcontractor on the remainder. A subsidiary of Italian aerospace and defense conglomerate Leonardo SPA, DRS Naval Power Systems operates as a large business with no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio, competing in full-and-open procurements.

DRS Naval Power Systems' capability portfolio centers on specialized electrical and power systems components for maritime defense platforms: switch connector assemblies, circuit card assemblies, power electronic modules, passive filter modules, cable assemblies, control panels, motor controllers, relay modules, and related electrical infrastructure. Representative prime work includes a $5.1 million firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for a Power Electronics Module awarded August 2025 with completion through June 2028; a $2.8 million NAVSEA purchase order for a Power Electronics Module awarded September 2024; a $1.9 million Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) definitive contract for repair and modification of electronic modules under a power electronics modification framework awarded September 2024; and a $1.3 million NAVSUP delivery order for an electrical control panel awarded March 2026. The company also executes dozens of smaller purchase orders annually (ranging from $1,600 to $400,000) for individual electrical components including switches, connectors, gaskets, relays, cables, and motor controllers sourced directly to Navy supply systems and logistics agencies.

Customer concentration is heavily Navy-centered. The top five customer agencies account for 97 percent of recent awards. NAVSEA dominates by potential value: 341 awards worth $694.9 million combined potential value. NAVSUP leads by award count with 587 orders worth $47.2 million combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 347 orders worth $10.6 million. DLA Aviation holds 125 awards worth $2.7 million. The Department of the Navy (non-command-specific) rounds out the top five with 28 awards. The dollar concentration skews heavily toward NAVSEA's large undersea weapons and defensive systems contract vehicle; NAVSUP generates high-volume, lower-dollar transactional work. Activity has contracted recently: 205 awards in 2024, 162 in 2025, and 22 in the first quarter of 2026. Ninety-three awards with combined potential value of $125.4 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure.

DRS Naval Power Systems holds two named indefinite delivery vehicles. A single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with NAVSUP (N0010425GAN01), effective through March 2030, enables delivery of electrical components, power systems, and engineering services supporting naval vessel construction, maintenance, and modernization across the Navy's fleet. A $245.9 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with NAVSEA (awarded January 2024, completion January 2029) supports the Undersea Weapons and Undersea Defensive Family of Systems, encompassing rapid prototype solutions, design, development, fabrication, integration, testing, and evaluation. Multiple task orders issued against both vehicles drive ongoing work. Placement of work through these vehicles and smaller purchase orders from DLA represents the company's primary route to Navy supply chain engagement.

DRS Naval Power Systems operates as a subcontractor predominantly to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, the dominant naval shipbuilder, with recurring sub-awards for electrical component and switchboard assemblies across DDG-class destroyers (DDG 51, DDG 1000/1002 series), LHA/LPD amphibious vessels, and submarine programs. Representative sub-work includes Huntington Ingalls orders for LHA 10 advance procurement switchboards (March 2026), DDG 51 class ship construction rebuy orders (October 2025, multiple SKUs), and LPD 30 long-lead-time material electrical control orders (December 2025, August 2025). Smaller sub-positions exist with Bath Iron Works Corporation (AC magnetic controllers for DDG 51 class, April-May 2025) and Electric Boat Corporation (submarine long-lead material and conformance work, April 2025). The company is a named supplier to HII Fleet Support Group LLC on carrier electrical support work (November 2025). Subcontract work focuses on supplying electrical assemblies, switchboards, controllers, and related components under prime shipbuilder contracts; DRS Naval Power Systems does not report significant service-contract activity above SCI's $150,000 threshold — only one SCI record covering 0.1 FTEs as a named subcontractor in FY2024 — indicating that its federal work is predominantly goods manufacturing and product supply rather than labor-intensive services.

Performance is split between the company's headquarters facility in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin (the site of most electrical component manufacturing) and secondary locations in Danbury and Norwalk, Connecticut, where some assembly and support work occurs. The source notes documented undersea warfare capability work in Newport, Rhode Island through the $245.9 million NAVSEA IDC. Headquarters location is listed as W126N7449 Flint Drive, Menomonee Falls, WI 53051.

DRS Naval Power Systems is structured as a child entity of Leonardo DRS, Inc. (UEI UP54BEGGMGV5), the U.S. operating entity of Leonardo SPA. The parent company has secured multiple IDCs and service contracts with Navy and defense logistics agencies. Corporate structure ties the subsidiary to Leonardo SPA's broader aerospace and defense portfolio, positioning DRS Naval Power Systems as a specialized component supplier within Leonardo's U.S. Navy and maritime defense supply chain footprint. The "doing business as" name DRS Power & Control Technologies Inc. reflects the company's branding in the electrical power and control systems market segment for defense applications.
