BlueHalo Wins $30.7M Contract to Support Navy Maritime Expeditionary Standoff Response Program

BlueHalo has won a $30.7 million contract to provide systems engineering and support services for BlueHalo’s Mission Specialist Defender systems, the Maritime Expeditionary Standoff Response remotely operated vehicle.

The 5-year contract from the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific supports the U.S. Navy’s operations using the Mission Specialist Defender systems, the company said.

“This follow-on contract highlights the U.S. Navy’s commitment to adapting and customizing our commercial off-the-shelf defense solutions to meet the evolving needs of its expeditionary forces,” said Jonathan Moneymaker, CEO of BlueHalo. “We are honored to continue our support in delivering cutting-edge, mission-critical ROVs that enhance maritime security, reconnaissance, and response capabilities for the fleet.”

The award follows the Navy’s $92.6 million MESR contract awarded to VideoRay, a BlueHalo company, in May 2024. This win reinforces BlueHalo’s support for the Navy with advanced underwater robotic technology for expeditionary missions, mine countermeasures and underwater security.
