𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 // 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬. – General Dynamics Mission Systems announced today that it was awarded a $15 million contract modification to exercise options under a previously awarded contract for the Mining Expendable Delivery Unmanned Submarine Asset (MEDUSA).
Building on the prototype, software and engineering work advanced under the July contract modification, this follow-on award continues MEDUSA's maturation and expands the program’s support infrastructure.
MEDUSA is an advanced, submarine-launched delivery system that uses an expendable unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) to deploy diverse payloads with precision. Purpose-built to meet the U.S. Navy's requirements for long-range offensive mining capability, the system offers flexibility to host additional payloads across a range of maritime missions.
“This contract modification sustains the momentum behind MEDUSA as the Navy advances its undersea capabilities,” said Laura Hooks, vice president and general manager of the Maritime and Strategic Systems business at General Dynamics Mission Systems. “Our team is focused on maturing the prototype systems and applying proven undersea engineering to deliver a reliable, flexible capability for the fleet. MEDUSA reflects General Dynamics’ commitment to giving Navy operators more options in the undersea domain,” continued Hooks.

Some of our veterans come home to a very different life than the one they left. After months or even years of medical treatment for serious service-connected injuries, they find themselves facing a world that has moved on — while their own path forward is steeper, harder, and lonelier than most people realize.
That is where you come in. Every dollar donated to the Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Fund will be matched by General Dynamics Mission Systems, up to fifty thousand dollars.
Your gift does not just help one veteran — it helps build a future where more severely wounded veterans can focus on their education, their independence, and their place back in the communities they love, like Laniece Bell, Specialist, U.S. Army Bachelor's degree in Sociology at Holy Name University.
