Rite-Solutions Upgrading Two Submarine Systems

Middletown, Rhode Island-based Rite-Solutions was awarded a 7-year, $21 million contract to provide the U.S. Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command with development and engineering services on two submarine subsystems. Under the contract, Rite-Solutions will add new capabilities to the Inter Subsystem Monitoring Tool (ISMT) and the Onboard Team Trainer - Master Controller (OBTT-MC), which are both part of the AN/BYG-1 combat system. AN/BYG-1 is deployed on U.S. Navy submarines and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Collins Class Submarines. The Submarine Combat and Weapon Control Systems Program Office (PMS 425) at NAVSEA awarded the contract to Rite-Solutions after a year-long proposal process. “We are pleased to continue working with PMS 425 on these important subsystems,” said Dennis McLaughlin, CEO and president of Rite-Solutions. “This contract win highlights Rite-Solution’s unique value. As a small business, we are small, agile, nimble and innovative. As a [Capability Maturity Model Integration] CMMI Level 3-appraised company, we offer the discipline, rigor, and quality of a larger engineering organization.”

The company will also be adding more functionality to the training and simulation system. “Our goal is to help sailors make a smoother transition from the schoolhouse when they continue their training at sea,” explained Ken Hartlaub, program manager for AN/BYG-1 systems at Rite-Solutions.
