Vigor Works
Technical Data Package Management of MSV(L) LRIP vessels for Army Watercraft Systems
Project Date: 2024 – Present
In 2017, Vigor Works was awarded the contract to provide Functional and Detailed Production Design Engineering and Fabrication to Army Watercraft Systems (AWS) for the design and fabrication of 14 new MSV(L) to replace the current LCM-8 vessels.
The design for the MSV(L) was developed in partnership with BMT following a detailed study of the Army’s unique needs. However, since BMT Group closed in 2023, Vigor has pivoted to relying on internal and subcontracted engineering and regulatory support with Elliott Bay Design Group, Revere Marine, and Handy Marine for assistance to develop purchase technical specifications, regulatory support and oversight, technical communications with the Army and the DCMA.
Vigor continues subcontracted engineering and regulatory support with Revere Marine, along with other groups such as Elliott Bay Design Group, Revere Marine, Gibbs and Cox, and Handy Marine for assistance to develop purchase technical specifications. Revere Marine’s owner, Amanda Dayton, is a Project Engineer in this ongoing MSV(L) project effort providing Vigor staff augmentation and consulting.
