U.S. Navy Awards BAE Systems $143M Contract to Continue Surface Combat Systems Center Support
October 20, 2022 | BAE SystemsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
BAE Systems will continue to support the integration of various mission equipment, combat systems, and computer programs for the U.S. Navy’s Surface Combat Systems Center (SCSC) in Wallops Island, Virginia with a new $143 million, five-year contract. These mission-essential systems are used by sailors across the fleet for all current and future cruiser, destroyer, and amphibious ship modernization initiatives.
“Our work at Wallops Island supports SCSC’s mission to provide increased readiness and improved capability to the fleet,” said Lisa Hand, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions. “This effort is vital to our nation’s sailors in an increasingly challenging maritime environment.”
BAE Systems’ technical, engineering, and overall programmatic support for SCSC includes all major activities and engineering on the systems used for Surface Navy testing, training, and support of deployed surface combat systems, advanced systems under development, warfare systems integration, interoperability, and at-sea testing and exercises.

Making AI Practical for PCB Design
03/05/2026 | Steve Watt, ZukenArtificial intelligence has entered nearly every corner of engineering software. In PCB design, however, meaningful adoption has been slower and for good reason. Unlike image generation or text analysis, PCB layout is not a data-rich, rules-light problem. It is a precision-driven engineering discipline in which creativity, accuracy, and strict compliance with constraints must coexist. Zuken’s work on AI-assisted PCB design reflects this reality. Rather than positioning AI as a replacement for engineering expertise, our CR-8000 Autonomous Intelligent Place and Route (AIPR) applies machine learning selectively in ways that align with how designers actually think and work.
