The company has supported NUWC Division Newport Code 34 as a prime contractor since 2019 through its heritage organizations. Arcfield said the latest award will expand its role in supporting electromagnetic warfare missions across the Navy.
“This win is a testament to Arcfield's consistent, exceptional customer satisfaction scores and our legacy of demonstrated performance supporting NUWC Division Newport and Code 34,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman and CEO of Arcfield.

The contract gives Arcfield responsibility for both technical development and hands-on support, including fabrication, installation, repair and modernization. That combination is intended to help the Navy develop new capabilities while sustaining equipment already in service.
John Avalos, Arcfield’s chief operating officer, said, “Our highly skilled teammates and partners are committed to delivering the responsive, technically rigorous support the Navy needs to develop, sustain and modernize critical imaging and electronic warfare systems.”
Arcfield is headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, and employs 2,200 engineers, scientists, analysts, IT specialists and other professionals, according to the company. The award strengthens its existing relationship with NUWC Division Newport and extends its work across Navy electromagnetic warfare missions.
