Launched From Submarines, Trusted by 30 Navies: REMUS Marks 25 Years Beneath the Surface

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HII (NYSE: HII) today celebrated the 25th anniversary of the REMUS unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) family during the 2026 Navy League Sea-Air-Space Exposition, marking a quarter century of innovation, reliability and mission versatility that has made REMUS the world’s leading autonomous underwater vehicle platform.

Originally funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and developed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, REMUS began as a research vehicle designed to advance ocean science and undersea exploration. Over the past 25 years, HII has expanded that pioneering technology into the most widely produced and adopted autonomous unmanned underwater systems in the world, supporting defense, commercial and scientific missions.

“REMUS has endured for 25 years because it was designed to evolve,” said Duane Fotheringham, president of the Unmanned Systems group in HII’s Mission Technologies division. “Its reliability, modularity, and open architecture allow operators to quickly adapt the platform to new missions while maintaining the performance and trust customers rely on.”

Today, more than 750 REMUS vehicles have been delivered to over 30 nations. They are currently used by 14 NATO navies, including the U.S., United Kingdom, Norway and Germany, as well as allied partners across the Indo-Pacific. REMUS vehicles support mine countermeasures, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), and seabed mapping missions. More than 90% of all REMUS systems deployed in the past 25 years remain in active service, a testament to their durability, reliability and lifecycle value.

Among REMUS’s notable capabilities and recognition:

  • The REMUS family supports modern naval operations with unmatched reliability. Its autonomous systems enable independent and teamed operations. In a recent breakthrough, REMUS 600 vehicles were successfully launched and recovered from the torpedo tubes of an HII-built U.S. Navy Virginia-class submarine, extending mission reach while reducing exposure risk and enhancing stealth for submarine forces.
  • REMUS’ open-architecture design enables rapid integration of new payloads as missions evolve, maximizing platform modularity while controlling lifecycle costs. The REMUS product line includes multiple variants designed for specific mission profiles and operating depths. Vehicle designations reflect operational depth capability and generational improvements, from the compact REMUS 130 optimized for shallow-water operations, to the REMUS 6000 designed for deep-sea exploration and recovery operations. REMUS 620, a medium unmanned underwater vehicle (MUUV), features modernized electronics, modular upgrades, and endurance of up to 110 hours with a range of approximately 275 nautical miles.
  • REMUS vehicles have played critical roles in high-profile global search operations, including the deep-ocean search for Air France Flight 447, post-tsunami maritime surveys in Japan, and the historic discovery of the USS Indianapolis (CA 35) in the Philippine Sea.
  • Research institutions and environmental organizations continue to rely on REMUS vehicles for oceanographic research, marine archaeology, and ecosystem monitoring. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is currently deploying REMUS 620 vehicles to map seafloor habitats impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, while universities and marine laboratories use the systems to conduct long-duration environmental surveys.

The U.S. Navy’s Lionfish Program

The U.S. Navy’s current Lionfish UUV is based on HII’s REMUS 300 platform, a modular, open-architecture small unmanned underwater vehicle (SUUV) engineered for multi-mission adaptability. The program was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Navy and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to accelerate the adoption of dual-use commercial technologies in U.S. Department of Defense programs.

Lionfish has been recognized as the U.S. Navy’s first successful transition from an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) prototype to full-rate production. It is also the first — and currently only — cyber-compliant UUV.

Strategic Partnerships and Future Capabilities

HII continues to invest in next-generation capabilities and strategic partnerships that expand how unmanned systems operate across the maritime domain. In a recent initiative, HII and Babcock International Group signed a strategic agreement to integrate REMUS UUVs with Babcock’s submarine weapon handling and launch systems, enabling autonomous launch and recovery of UUVs through submarine torpedo tubes and unlocking new deployment options for allied submarine forces.

In the U.S. Navy’s future fleet, and together with HII’s ROMULUS unmanned surface vehicle (USV), REMUS systems enable integration of manned and unmanned platforms.

About HII

HII is America’s largest shipbuilder, delivering the world’s most powerful ships and all-domain mission technologies, including unmanned systems, to U.S. and allied defense customers. HII is the largest producer of unmanned underwater vehicles for the U.S. Navy and the world.

With a more than 140-year history of advancing U.S. national security, HII builds and integrates defense capabilities extending from the core fleet to C6ISR, AI/ML, EW and synthetic training. Headquartered in Virginia, HII’s workforce is 44,000 strong. For more information, visit:

ServiceNow puts AI to work across the manufacturing value chain, helping close the gap between the factory floor and front office

ServiceNow puts AI to work across the manufacturing value chain, helping close the gap between the factory floor and front office

New AI-native solutions tackle quality, warranty fraud, order operations, and complex quoting on a single platform

Industrial Connected Workforce digitizes frontline work and preserves institutional knowledge; ServiceNow EmployeeWorks brings a conversational AI front door to plant floor employees

HANNOVER, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HANNOVER MESSE – ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, today introduced AI-native solutions that connect the manufacturing value chain, from quality and warranty to orders and quoting, on a single platform. The company also unveiled Industrial Connected Workforce and ServiceNow EmployeeWorks for manufacturers.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260420729073/en/

ServiceNow Manufacturing Commercial Operations

ServiceNow Manufacturing Commercial Operations

Manufacturers have accelerated AI investment over the past two years, yet adoption remains fragmented. Quality data, warranty claims, order operations, and factory-floor processes are spread across disconnected systems. ServiceNow’s manufacturing capabilities unify data, workflows, and governance across the value chain on a single platform, enabling AI to operate end-to-end rather than in isolated pockets.

“The promise of AI in manufacturing goes unfulfilled when data is scattered across siloed systems,” said Abhi Rele, head of manufacturing products, ServiceNow. “ServiceNow connects those systems, giving AI the context and governance it needs to move from isolated automation to end-to-end execution.”

One platform from sales and service to the factory floor

The new capabilities extend the same single-platform approach ServiceNow uses to unify IT, CRM, HR, and security into the manufacturing domain. As a result, warranty claims, order exceptions, configuration requests, and workforce tasks all flow through one platform with AI built into every workflow and governance applied across all of it.

Quality Issue Management unifies the full lifecycle of customer-impacting quality issues, from reporting to investigation and resolution, so manufacturers can reduce cost of quality, lower defect rates, and protect customer trust. AI accelerates issue capture and supports industry-standard methodologies such as Eight Disciplines (8D) and 5 Whys root cause analysis.

Warranty Claims with AI Fraud Detection replaces the manual review process that lets warranty leakage go undetected. The end-to-end claims workflow covers repair, recall, and other claim types, while AI-powered anomaly detection identifies irregular patterns and reduces warranty claim fraud before it erodes margins.

Order Operations with Voice AI Agents reduces the rigid forms and slow support calls that manufacturing customers experience for invoice disputes, order exceptions, and product returns.

Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ) with Configuration AI Agent lets sales representatives configure complex manufactured products by describing customer requirements in plain language rather than navigating hundreds of fields. Purpose-built for manufacturing complexity, it manages bills of material across thousands of items and removes configuration bottlenecks that delay deals.

Field Service Management with Parts Management AI Agent automates one of field service’s most error-prone steps: parts reconciliation at job closure. When a technician completes a job, the agent validates what was used, removed, and unused against the work order, producing a traceable parts summary that helps prevent revenue leakage and ensures accurate billing in a single governed workflow.

Closing the knowledge gap on the factory floor

The manufacturing workforce is undergoing a generational shift. As experienced workers retire, they take decades of institutional knowledge with them, including the undocumented fixes, the machine-specific adjustments, and the judgment calls that keep production lines running. When a line goes down, the cost is immediate, including lost capacity, missed deliveries, and a shift supervisor standing at a machine with no digital record of what was done last time. The tools available to operations leaders were not designed for the shop floor.

ServiceNow Industrial Connected Workforce is designed to replace paper, disconnected tools, and community knowledge with a single AI platform built for how manufacturing actually works. AI digitizes standard operating procedures into step-by-step guided tasks, assigns work based on role and location, and delivers contextual knowledge at the point of need. Quality engineers get AI-powered root cause analysis that can help turn every incident into organizational learning.

As experienced workers retire, the platform helps capture their institutional knowledge and delivers it to every team member at the point of need, so the next operator doesn’t start from scratch. Unlike fragmented point solutions, the value compounds: workflows, tasks, and insights make operations smarter.

ServiceNow EmployeeWorks meets manufacturing teams where they work — through Teams, Slack, a shared workstation browser, or a kiosk on the plant floor — so they can resolve IT issues, submit HR requests, or flag a facilities problem from a single conversational interface. Behind it, the full ServiceNow AI Platform handles routing, approvals, and audit trails across departments without bouncing between queues.

What customers and partners are saying

Bosch Rexroth

Bosch Rexroth, ServiceNow, and the Initiative Next Level Mittelstand will collaborate in the future on the AI network any.site. The any.site network connects machine manufacturers, service providers, and production teams via AI-powered “knowledge assistants.” These support commissioning and maintenance experts in finding information and are available around the clock as digital assistants carrying the manufacturers’ know-how.

“We built any.site to put the full knowledge about machines into the hands of the people who need it every day. The greatest lever for efficiency is not everyone keeping their knowledge to themselves, but connecting it intelligently. Any.site is the answer to proprietary systems — a network from which everyone benefits,” says Thomas Fechner, Member of the Executive Board of Bosch Rexroth, responsible for Factory Automation.

SupplyOn

ServiceNow also confirmed a new partnership with SupplyOn, further expanding the platform’s manufacturing ecosystem. Many companies today have their internal procurement processes well under control. Yet, where the supply chain begins, there is often a disconnect when it comes to the collaboration with suppliers. This is the challenge SupplyOn and ServiceNow aim to solve.

“Manufacturers don’t lose time and money because they lack internal workflows — they lose it at the handover to suppliers. With ServiceNow, we’re closing that gap: bringing structured, real-time supplier commitments into the purchasing process so teams can move from chasing confirmations to actively steering supply,” said Markus Quicken, CEO, SupplyOn.

Club Car

“Keeping product configuration in sync across every selling channel used to be an ongoing battle — convoluted processes, limited guidance, and quotes that were harder than they needed to be,” said Craig Drenthe, VP of IT, Club Car. “ServiceNow CPQ changed that. One unified engine now powers everything. Changes are reflected instantly, and a dealer reorder that used to take up to five days now takes less than one. For our channel partners, the difference is night and day, and we’re better equipped to meet customer demand.”

EY

“Together, EY and ServiceNow are helping companies build the connected factories of the future, connecting frontline workers with real-time insights and institutional knowledge through AI-powered workflows,” said Craig Lyjak, EY Global Smart Factory Leader. “This helps enable people to move faster, operate more safely, and unlock new levels of performance across their operations.”

KODIS Holdings

“We built ONYX to give our customers better tools and faster answers across the supply chain,” said James Mayer, Director of IT, KODIS Holdings. “ServiceNow’s AI platform makes it possible to orchestrate transportation, warehousing, and logistics on one system, with the speed and visibility our industry hasn’t had before. That same foundation is now powering how we service manufacturing operations.”

Additional Information

  • Today’s manufacturing innovations are part of a broader wave of industry-specific and platform AI capabilities ServiceNow will showcase at Knowledge 2026, the company’s annual customer and partner conference, May 5–7 in Las Vegas. Learn more here.

Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. Announces $54 Million in Q1 2026 Awards, Demonstrating Continued Growth Across Key End Markets

THE WOODLANDS, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. today provided a quarter-to-date update for the first quarter of 2026, highlighting continued momentum in project awards across North America and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions. The Company announced approximately $54 million in new project awards during the period, reflecting sustained demand across key infrastructure, energy, and mission-critical markets.

During the quarter, the Company secured a number of significant project awards in North America, driven by increasing investment in advanced infrastructure. These awards include substantial scope related to AI-enabled data center developments in the United States, supporting the rapid expansion of digital infrastructure required for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-performance data processing. The Company also announced awards for projects associated with the National Research Laboratories and the Marathon project, further demonstrating its ability to deliver engineered solutions for complex industrial and research applications.

In the MENA region, Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. continues to strengthen its market position through the award of several key projects. These include major District Heating & Cooling (DHC) projects in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, supporting large-scale urban developments and energy-efficient infrastructure initiatives. These awards align with the Company’s strategic focus on localization and its continued investment in regional manufacturing and execution capabilities.

“In North America, investment in AI and data center infrastructure continues to accelerate,” said Marc Huber, Senior Vice President, North America. “Our participation in major data center projects, along with key awards such as the National Research Laboratories and Marathon project, highlights our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions that meet the rigorous demands of these environments.”

“Our continued success in the MENA region reflects the effectiveness of our localization strategy and our commitment to supporting regional development goals,” said Adham Sharkawi, Senior Vice President, MENA. “The DHC project awards in the UAE and Saudi Arabia demonstrate growing demand for efficient and sustainable infrastructure solutions, and our strengthened regional presence enables us to deliver high-quality, in-country support to our customers.”

“These project wins reflect the strength of our global platform and the disciplined execution of our growth strategy,” said Saleh Sagr, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are seeing increasing demand across both traditional energy infrastructure and next-generation applications such as AI-driven data centers. Our ability to respond with engineering expertise, manufacturing capacity, and localized capabilities positions us well to capture these opportunities and drive sustainable growth.”

The Company’s performance in the first quarter to date underscores strong demand for its engineered piping systems across sectors where performance, reliability, and safety are critical. Growth in AI-driven infrastructure, combined with ongoing investments in energy, utilities, and district cooling systems in the Middle East, continues to support a robust pipeline of opportunities.

Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. remains well-positioned to capitalize on these favorable market trends through its global platform, technical expertise, and commitment to delivering high-value, engineered solutions to customers worldwide.
