CTM subsidiary SSI wins $4M U.S. Navy ADMACS modernization subcontract
AI Summary
Castellum (CTM) said its wholly owned subsidiary Specialty Systems, Inc. (SSI) won a $4 million directed subcontract under SAIC’s prime (via the GSA ASTRO pool) to modernize the U.S. Navy’s mission-critical Aircraft Data Management and Control System (ADMACS). SSI will serve as lead systems integrator using a phased "vertical slice" approach (containerization, automated testing, DevSecOps, technical documentation) to modernize carrier-based flight operations software—a win the company says expands its higher-value Navy modernization work and strengthens its software/DevSecOps credentials.
Positives
- Awarded $4 million subcontract to modernize a mission-critical Navy aviation C2 system (ADMACS).
- SSI will be lead system integrator, performing containerization, automated testing and DevSecOps modernization work.
- Expands Castellum’s portfolio of higher-value Navy modernization and mission-system sustainment work.
Negatives
- This is a subcontract under SAIC’s prime, so contract execution and payments depend on the prime arrangement.
