Naval Sea System Command
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is the largest of the US Navy’s five systems command. NAVSEA’s primary objective is to engineer, build, and support the US Navy’s fleet of ships and its combat systems. NAVSEA accounts for one quarter of the Navy’s fiscal budget. NAVSEA needed Onyx to provide an unbiased, external review of the SAS architecture and methodology used by government SAS developers, and all custom code/scripts used in the normal course of NAVSEA business. The contract called for Onyx to deliver recommendations for improvement of the existing architecture, development process, and code execution.
