SAN DIEGO; Nov. 4, 2010 – The U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) awarded Accenture (NYSE: ACN) a five-year, $6.3 million contract to provide engineering services covering hardware and software maintenance in support of the Navy’s efforts to modernize its ships with mission-critical systems.
