The U.S. Navy announces it is awarding contracts to three defense companies to build 30 medium unmanned surface vessels (MUSVs). The reported value is about $40 million per vessel, according to the outlets.
The announcements focus on the production phase of the MUSV program, with multiple firms selected to deliver the total number of ships. Both sources describe the same core details: three companies are tapped, the total procurement is 30 vessels, and the per-vessel cost is approximately $40 million.
While the reports align on the contract awards and overall figures, they provide limited additional specifics beyond the agreement to produce the vessels. Neither outlet, in the provided text, details which companies are selected, the exact contract structure, schedules, or how the Navy will distribute work among the three firms.
