Contractor protests could hold up Navy CANES shipboard networking program until December

摘要

An important multi-billion-dollar U.S. Navy project to upgrade the command, control, communications, computers, intelligence (C4I), and networking equipment aboard the nation's surface warship fleet is being held up for as long as three months due to contractor protests. The protests involve contracts awarded last month worth as much as $2.53 billion over the next eight years to manufacture equipment for the Navy Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) shipboard networking program.
