By investing in autonomy and AI, we ensure that the U.S. Navy, Joint Force, and allied navies can adapt in real time to emerging threats using scalable, interoperable solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Enabling Delivery of Distributed, Joint Effects<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The industrial strategy reflects a fundamental shift in naval warfare: moving from concentrated force to distributed, integrated operations across domains with autonomy and manned-unmanned platform teaming and reflects the shift from platform-centric operations to a networked, distributed manned-unmanned teaming model where sensing, decision-making, and effects are no longer tied to a single system or linear kill chain.<\/p>\n<p>HII\u2019s framework promotes the integration of:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:6pt\">\n          <strong>Surface combatants<\/strong>: Provide command and control for multi-domain unmanned capabilities through a common control station (CCS).<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:6pt\">\n          <strong>ROMULUS unmanned surface vessels<\/strong>: Broadens the fleet\u2019s sensing and strike capabilities through modular, containerized payloads.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:6pt\">\n          <strong>Minotaur Mission Management System (MMS)<\/strong>: Fuses multi-domain sensor data to integrate the battlespace and provide a common operating picture across the network.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:6pt\">\n          <strong>Odyssey Autonomous Control System (ACS)<\/strong>: Coordinates autonomous operations across multiple unmanned platforms.<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong>REMUS unmanned undersea vehicles<\/strong>: Extends the maritime force network to the subsea domain, integrating with surface operations via the ROMULUS 7 gateway buoy and enhancing undersea warfare capabilities through torpedo tube launch and recovery (TTLR) teaming with attack submarines.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The combination of core fleet ships, autonomous systems, and mission-enabling technologies enables commanders to tailor forces in accordance with the U.S. Navy\u2019s Fighting Instructions to operationalize the Hedge Strategy and warfighting concepts through scalable formations of manned-unmanned platforms.<\/p>\n<p>It also enables data collected in one domain to produce effects in another, supporting joint and coalition operations and allowing commanders to deliver outcomes from geographically dispersed forces with unprecedented speed, scale, and tempo.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Turning Data into Operational Advantage<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The operational backbone of HII\u2019s approach is the HII-developed and government-owned Minotaur Mission Management System, open-architecture command-and-control platform. Minotaur enables naval forces to contribute directly to joint tracking, targeting and fires by fusing data from maritime, air, space and undersea sensors into a unified operational picture.<\/p>\n<p>Built on open architecture, Minotaur ensures that platforms like ROMULUS and future systems can integrate seamlessly into joint and coalition operations without creating dependencies on any single platform.<\/p>\n<p>The result: faster decisions, tighter integration, and the ability to deliver effects across the battlespace with speed and precision.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Autonomy and Adaptability at Scale<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Autonomous operations in HII\u2019s framework are coordinated through HII\u2019s Odyssey Autonomous Control System, which uses autonomy algorithms and artificial intelligence to support navigation, coordinated behaviors, and distributed sensing missions.<\/p>\n<p>Integrated with the Minotaur MMS, Odyssey enables operators to supervise and manage multiple unmanned platforms at the same time. The integration also enables centralized command and control of distributed unmanned platforms, increases data collection and operational reach, and shortens the sensor-to-shooter timeline improving survivability and lethality in contested environments.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Containerized Capability: Speed, Flexibility, and Scale<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>A key differentiator in HII\u2019s portfolio is its emphasis on containerized, mission-ready payloads that can be deployed rapidly across a variety of manned and unmanned maritime platforms. The approach supports reduced integration timelines and cost; rapid reconfiguration of forces; and distributed maritime and joint operations without platform dependency.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Expanding Options for Commanders While Reinforcing Aircraft Carrier Power<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>HII\u2019s concept directly supports the U.S. Navy\u2019s evolving Hedge Strategy and provides commanders with more flexible, scalable options for presence and combat power.<\/p>\n<p>Aircraft carriers strike groups remain the centerpiece of U.S. naval power projection. Distributed, unmanned-enabled forces expand their reach, extend their awareness, and create additional dilemmas for adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>HII Unique Approach to A New Era of Maritime Power<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>By embracing open architecture and interoperability, commercial acquisition models, rapid integration and deployment cycles, and continuous iteration at the operational edge, HII is driving a cultural and operational shift toward speed, adaptability, and mission-focused innovation.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About HII<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>HII is America\u2019s largest shipbuilder, delivering the world\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.
