The largest of the awards is a $34.5 million contract for the continued supply of MK88 MOD4 MSI-DS Stabilised Gun Mounts.

This sole-source contract, commencing immediately, involves the delivery of gun mounts, maintenance assist modules, and onboard repair parts, all to be completed by December 30, 2026. While MSI had hoped for a longer-term agreement, the Navy has opted for annual contracts to maintain flexibility.

In addition to the gun mount contract, MSI-Defence Systems US LLC secured a $7.6 million contract amendment for the supply of MSI-DS Electro-Optical Sight Systems (US Mk48 MOD2), integrated into its 30mm weapon systems. The deadline for delivery of this equipment is November 30, 2026.

The contract wins represent a substantial influx of revenue for MSI, solidifying its relationship with the US Navy.

The relationship between MSI and NAVSEA remains strong, positioning the company favorably for future opportunities. The company has expressed confidence in its ability to continue working with the US Navy in the long term.
