BAE Systems secured a $37 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC) to develop the Next Generation Evolved SeaSparrow Missile Launch System (NGELS). Under this agreement, BAE Systems will collaborate with the NATO SeaSparrow Program Office (NSPO) to create and supply prototype deck launching systems. These systems are intended to support the U.S. Navy and allied nations in deploying the Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) for ship self-defense purposes.
