In addition to design and engi- neering services, Ingalls provides schedule and planning, materials acquisition and installation sup- port for the worldwide mainte- nance, upgrade and overhaul of the three ship classes. As part of the program, Ingalls maintains fleet support offices at Navy bases where these ships are stationed in the U.S. and Japan.

Navy Adds Sun Microsystems' Servers To CAD-2 Contracts Sun Microsystems, Inc., an- nounced on September 26 that the U.S. Navy had added its worksta- tions and servers to the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the Naval Air Systems Command and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (NAVAIR/- SPAWAR) CAD-2 contracts. These workstations and servers will support a broad range of Sun solutions for enterprisewide appli- cations, as well as Intergraph products running on the Solaris operating system, such as Intergraph's DM2 information management software. The contract was awarded to Sun Microsystems Federal, Inc. "Intergraph is pleased to be able to offer Sun systems to our NAVSEA and NAVAIR/SPAWAR CAD-2 customers," said Edward A. Wilkinson, Intergraph Federal Systems executive vice president. "The addition of Sun worksta- tions and servers to these CAD-2 contracts offers powerful RISC- based hardware that is truly scal- able to match technical and busi- ness applications across the enter- prise." 30 The first CAD-2 contract from NAVSEA was awarded to In- tergraph in 1991 for engineering and design hardware, and software and services for applications such as shipbuilding, overhaul and repair. The most recent CAD-2 con- tract was awarded in 1994 to Intergraph for computer-aided sys- tems and services for electronic and mechanical design, manufac- turing and engineering in aeronau- tical and aerospace applications. An agreement with the Depart- ment of Defense reportedly enables all branches of the U.S. military to purchase from these contracts, which have an eight-year term for hardware, software and services, in addition to four more years for the acquisition of maintenance and support services.
