the defence, security and aerospace company that has locations throughout the northwest, has won a new contract from the US Navy.
The company will supply missile launching canisters as part of the $41.1 million (£25 million) deal.
It will deliver Mk 13 and Mk 25 canisters, which will provide safe storage, transport and launch capabilities for the Mk 41 Vertical Launching System.
Mk 13 canisters fire the Standard Missile-2, Block II and III, while Mk 25 canisters fire Evolved SeaSparrow Missiles.
Gary Tatge, program director of navy launching systems for BAE Systems, said the canisters "contribute to systems that provide critical defensive weapon support to sailors, giving them an advantage at sea and keeping them safe".
Under another contract with the US Navy and Army, BAE will provide identification friend or foe digital transponders and upgrade kits.
The $20 million (£12.2 million) deal will help navy and army personnel identify friendly forces, thereby reducing the risk of friendly fire.
