Software company Govini on Wednesday said it has been tapped by the Navy to help identify issues across parts of the nuclear submarine industrial base.
The company said this means the Navy will deploy their flagship Ark software product “to continuously identify vulnerabilities across its industrial base using factors such as financial health, production capacity, and foreign influence.”
The company specified this effort covers “revitalization of the industrial base of the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad,” meaning nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). It is focused on workflows to support missile and warhead technologies.
Navy officials in April told lawmakers the first in a new class of SSBNs, the future USS District of Columbia (SSBN-826), is running 12 to 18 months late while it is currently over 50 percent complete. The second new SSBN, the future USS Wisconsin (SSBN-827), is set to be delivered in 2032, 80 months after start of construction.
