US Navy Awards Boeing High Altitude Anti-Submarine Weapon Contract
Glide weapon will target submarines using smart bomb technology
A new precision-guided weapon that Boeing [NYSE: BA] will provide to the U.S. Navy will fundamentally change anti-submarine warfare by incorporating technologies never before used on an anti-submarine weapon.
Through a recently awarded $19.2 million contract, Boeing will design and build the High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (HAAWC). The system will leverage combat-proven technologies from Boeing's Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) and Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) so it can be launched from high altitudes and far from targets.
