Booz Allen Hamilton announced a $99 million contract with the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command to engineer, deploy, and sustain 5G wireless networks on civilian‑crewed ships across the Pacific, Europe, and the United States. The agreement calls for a solution that combines on‑board 5G infrastructure with Low‑Earth‑Orbit satellite links to deliver secure, high‑bandwidth communications for civil service mariners.
The contract leverages Booz Allen’s experience in maritime connectivity, building on a $10 million 5G project in Guam completed in January 2024. By integrating LEO satellite connectivity, the Navy will gain reliable, low‑latency data links that support both operational readiness and crew quality of life, addressing a long‑standing gap in sea‑borne communications.
Booz Allen’s Q3 FY2025 results showed revenue of $2.9 billion, up 13.5% year‑over‑year, driven by growth in its technology services and defense segments. The new contract adds a substantial, high‑margin revenue stream that aligns with the company’s VoLT strategy—Velocity, Leadership, Technology—aimed at accelerating technology adoption for federal clients.
Chris Christou, Booz Allen’s senior vice president of Edge/NextG, said the award “bridges the connectivity gap at sea, enhancing warfighting readiness while improving crew quality of life.” The contract underscores Booz Allen’s expanding role in delivering cutting‑edge connectivity solutions to the Department of Defense.
The win strengthens Booz Allen’s defense portfolio and positions the firm for future high‑value contracts in the national‑security market, reinforcing its strategy to grow high‑margin technology services and capitalize on the Navy’s modernization efforts.
