Joe Courtney applauded the new $19 million Department of Defense contract awarded to ThayerMahan of Groton, Connecticut to sustain the Navy\u2019s and Marine Corps\u2019 undersea and maritime advantage. The contract will allow ThayerMahan to continue developing autonomous maritime sensing technology.\n\n\u201cThis federal contract will help strengthen the Navy\u2019s and Marine Corp\u2019s eyes and ears undersea through advanced and innovative autonomous maritime systems, which will be a critical capability in the 21st century. There\u2019s no question that ThayerMahan is a leader in this work, which is why my office and I have long advocated for this Groton-based company to receive federal contracts like this. Congratulations to ThayerMahan and your skilled employees who are leading the design, engineering, and operation of this critical technology,\u201d said Rep. Joe Courtney, Ranking Member of the House Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.\n\n\u201cWe appreciate the continued support and confidence of the Office of Naval Research as we help generate much needed undersea sensing capacity to sustain our undersea advantage. We are also thankful for the critical role played by Congressman Joe Courtney and his staff. They are a big reason why Southeastern Connecticut is the epicenter of undersea innovation,\u201d said ThayerMahan CEO Mike Connor.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://courtney.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/courtney-applauds-19m-federal-contract-thayermahan"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8532428182661533, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
