HII is Awarded $347 Million U.S. Navy Lionfish Small UUV Contract
2023年10月12日 - 12:30AM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that its Mission Technologies
division was awarded a contract to build nine small unmanned
undersea vehicles (SUUV) for the U.S. Navy’s Lionfish System
program. The contract has the potential to grow to as many as 200
vehicles over the next five years with a total value of more than
$347 million.
The Lionfish System, based on HII's REMUS 300, is a highly
portable, two-person SUUV with an open architecture design and
versatile payload options. In early 2022, REMUS 300 was chosen as
the Navy's official program of record for the next-generation
SUUV.
Administered by Naval Sea Systems Command, this contract
provides for the delivery and support of the Navy’s next generation
SUUVs, as well as afloat and auxiliary support equipment and
engineering services. The vehicles, incorporating the latest in
autonomous and unmanned technology, will conduct critical undersea
missions for the Navy.
“Lionfish provides increased capability and interoperability
that aligns with the Navy’s undersea priorities, and we look
forward to delivering next-generation vehicles that can readily
adapt to and support a variety of mission needs,” said Andy Green,
executive vice president of HII and president of Mission
Technologies.

“We are pleased with the Navy’s decision to support a
combat-proven technology, essential to the Navy’s undersea
mission,” said Duane Fotheringham, president of Mission
Technologies’ Unmanned Systems business group. “Our team is
committed to delivering fully capable vehicles that will enhance
the effectiveness of the warfighter against emerging threats.”
The Lionfish System was developed through an innovative process
with the Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit and the
Navy that incorporated feedback from multiple user groups to
uniquely meet the needs of the warfighters.
