In 2022, Ingalls Shipbuilding division was awarded a $41.6 million cost-incentive-fee contract to begin the combat systems availability for the Zumwalt-class destroyer, Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002). The Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002) is the third Zumwalt-class ship and the last in the Zumwalt-class to be delivered to the U.S. Navy.

Additionally, in Jan. 2023 Ingalls was awarded a $10.5 million contract for the modernization period planning of Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyers, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) and USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001).

In support of the Zumwalt Class being the first platform to deliver CPS capability, the Navy commenced engineering design planning that will allow for integration of CPS on DDG 1000 during these planned modernization availibilities. Engineering design planning includes removal of the two 155 mm Advanced Gun System (AGS) mounts. The CPS capability will then be installed in the space previously occupied by the forward Advanced Gun System (AGS) gun mount.

During the availability, Ingalls will complete the installation, activation and testing of the combat systems to ensure a fully functional system is ready to operate in the Navy fleet, as part of the Navy’s phased delivery approach.
DDG 1002 features a state-of-the-art electric propulsion system, wave-piercing tumblehome hull, stealth design and is equipped with the most advanced war-fighting technology and weaponry.
