The Navy plays a vital role in ensuring the country’s security, protecting its interests around the world, and supporting humanitarian efforts.
We recognize that the Navy’s ongoing efforts to modernize and adapt to new challenges require innovative solutions. That’s why we launched the Fleet Forward Initiative, which aims to shine a spotlight on and support cutting-edge technologies, support services and ideas that will help the Navy maintain its strength and readiness for decades to come.
We also applaud the great work being done by the contractors who have been awarded these contracts, whose support services, innovative ideas and technologies will play a critical role in ensuring that the Navy remains the most powerful maritime force in the world.
