Some missions can’t wait. Some can’t fail.

GovCIO supports the Fixed Submarine Broadcast System (FSBS) FVLF/LF Engineering Services for NIWC Atlantic, the communications backbone that connects the U.S. submarine fleet to national command authority across 12+ CONUS and OCONUS sites, without interruption, every day.

The Mission Behind the Work

Of all the programs GovCIO supports across the federal enterprise, few carry the weight of this one. The Fixed Submarine Broadcast System is the shore-based network that keeps the nation’s submarine force connected to the National Command Authority — always on, no exceptions, no room for failure.

Since the award of the FVLF/LF Engineering Services contract with NIWC Atlantic, GovCIO has delivered research, design, development, test and evaluation, software engineering, equipment and material support, logistical support, technical training, and site installation and activation across more than a dozen CONUS and OCONUS locations.

This is not a staff augmentation contract. It is a deep, integrated engineering partnership with the U.S. Navy — one built on trust, technical excellence, and a mission-first culture that NIWC Atlantic recognized when they awarded this work.

  • Operational sites: California, Hawaii, Maine, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington
  • OCONUS presence: Australia, Iceland, Italy, Japan, and Puerto Rico

“Some missions can’t be handed off. Some infrastructure can’t go dark. The people we put on this program understand that, and they show up every day with that weight and that pride.”

The Engineering Behind the No-Fail Standard

Maintaining the Navy’s submarine communications backbone requires more than technical skill, it requires a team that treats every system, every site, and every deployment as mission-critical. GovCIO delivers that standard across 12+ CONUS and OCONUS locations, every day.

Concept to Sustainment. Every Step.

GovCIO doesn’t manage a piece of the mission — we manage the full engineering lifecycle. From initial research through long-term sustainment, our team is the continuity that mission-critical programs require.

The Mission Doesn’t Wait. Neither Do We.

GovCIO is actively hiring cleared engineers, signals professionals, and systems experts ready to work on infrastructure that matters — the kind that keeps the nation’s submarine fleet connected to national command authority, every day.
