HUNTSVILLE — Teledyne Brown Engineering has received a $42,882,299 firm-fixed-price contract modification from the Naval Sea Systems Command to provide spares in support of the MK11 SEAL Delivery Vehicle program, the Huntsville-based company announced.

The MK11 SDV, also known as the Shallow Water Combat Submersible, is a manned platform designed to clandestinely deliver Special Operations Forces into high-threat environments.

Teledyne Brown Engineering was originally awarded the contract to design, develop, manufacture, and test the MK11 in 2011 and has since delivered and maintained a fleet of these advanced vehicles.

This latest award ensures continued operational readiness by supplying critical components for the MK11 fleet. Teledyne Brown Engineering said the work will be performed at its Huntsville facility.

Teledyne Brown Engineering is the first company to meet all current requirements outlined in the NAVSEA 07 Certification process, achieving authorization to perform Deep Submergence System — Scope of Certification work.

This milestone underscores Teledyne’s commitment to delivering innovative, mission-critical solutions for the Navy and Special Operations Forces.
