ATI wins $99 million contract for developing shipbuilding-related manufacturing technologies

Advanced Technology Institute is being awarded a $99,000,000 contract to operate and manage the Shipbuilding Technology Center of Excellence (STCOE) to develop shipbuilding-related manufacturing technologies and to implement them in America's shipyards. The STCOE will work closely with the Navy's acquisition community and the shipbuilding industry to identify manufacturing technology issues that negatively impact shipyard efficiency (cycle-time and cost). The STCOE will then solicit, select, and implement projects to improve these inefficiencies. Work will be performed in North Charleston, S.C., and work is expected to be completed August 2014. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
