FAIRFAX, Va., Dec. 15 (UPI) -- General Dynamics announced it has been selected to support a U.S. Navy ballistic missile program with its integrated circuit technologies.

U.S. company General Dynamics says its Advanced Information Systems unit was awarded the contract from Massachusetts-based Charles Stark Draper Laboratory as part of the Trident Life Extension Electronic Parts Program.

Under the $110 million deal, General Dynamics will provide the Navy's Trident II (D5) submarine-launched ballistic missile program with its circuits technologies designed support the missile guidance system.

"In partnership with Charles Stark Draper Laboratory and (subcontractor) Honeywell International, General Dynamics is providing the U.S. Navy with cost-effective, consistent support," Lou Von Thaer, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems president, said in a statement.
