\n What:<\/strong>\n <\/td>\nARLINGTON, Va., April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Journalists are invited to attend a media briefing with HII (NYSE: HII) leadership, where the company will outline its approach to supporting the U.S. Navy\u2019s \u201cHedge Strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the U.S. Navy advances toward distributed, integrated operations \u2014 combining manned ships, autonomous systems, and mission-enabling technologies \u2014 HII, as the world\u2019s leading seapower company, continues to invest to support the realization of this shift. <\/p>\n

Known for building and sustaining the world\u2019s largest and most complex U.S. Navy warships, HII also develops and delivers mission-enabling capabilities, including autonomous unmanned systems, C2 & battle management, spectrum dominance, and cyber. <\/p>\n

This strategy aligns with the U.S. Department of Defense and allied efforts to rapidly integrate mission-enabling technologies and advanced manned and unmanned forces into more distributed, lethal, and, resilient formations.<\/p>\n

At the Navy League\u2019s Sea-Air-Space 2026 exposition, HII will highlight its next-generation concept for distributed naval warfare \u2014 integrating crewed platforms, autonomous systems, and mission enabling technologies to extend reach, enhance survivability, and scale combat power across the fleet.<\/p>\n

HII has already demonstrated this approach with the U.S. Navy, including the autonomous launch and recovery of an HII-built REMUS unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) from a HII-built Virginia<\/em>-class submarine, significantly expanding mission reach, reducing risk, and enhancing stealth.<\/p>\n

The media briefing on Friday, April 17, will explore how, as maritime competition intensifies and navies prioritize speed, scale, and distributed lethality, HII is delivering integrated, deployable capabilities aligned with evolving force design.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
