Strike Force Interoperability
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Naval Systems Engineering Directorate (SEA 05) is responsible for the full lifecycle engineering of the Navy’s ships, submarines, and warfare systems.
The Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) Program Office is tasked with rapidly developing and deploying a hypersonic weapon system—a top priority for the Department of Defense. This system must deliver precise, long-range strikes against time-sensitive targets in contested environments. As the lead designer, the Navy is responsible for ensuring the missile system meets stringent performance standards and can be deployed across multiple platforms, including ZUMWALT Class destroyers, VIRGINIA Class submarines, and Army Field Batteries. Robust test and evaluation processes are critical to achieving these goals.
VTG delivers expert program management, engineering, and analytical support to advance the CPS program and ensure mission success.
VTG’s contributions enable the CPS program to maintain an aggressive development schedule while meeting rigorous testing and performance benchmarks. The team’s leadership in test execution, including planning, resource coordination, readiness reviews, and analysis reporting, ensures the successful collection of high-quality data and validation of key system models. These efforts directly supported the Navy’s ability to field a reliable, high-performance hypersonic weapon system to both the Army and Navy. As a result, the CPS program continues to design, produce, and deliver operational systems to the Army and is on track to support the future fielding of Navy surface ship and submarine-based systems.

Our Defense and U.S. Navy customers identified a need to accelerate technological development while maintaining alignment with evolving priorities and tight deployment timelines.
NAVSEA sought an efficient and cost-effective way to install and integrate the Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN)—a laser weapon system—on surface ships.
