\u201cHII is proud to be a partner to the U.S. Navy, Royal Navy, NATO allies, and international partners in supporting the growing need for autonomous capabilities and mission enabling technologies in naval operations across both the undersea and surface domains,\u201d said Duane Fotheringham, president of the Unmanned Systems group in HII\u2019s Mission Technologies division. \u201cOur autonomous maritime systems are operating today in some of the world\u2019s most demanding environments, and we continue to advance capabilities that extend mission reach, improve fleet survivability, and strengthen allied interoperability across the maritime domain.\u201d<\/p>\n

HII\u2019s exhibit and presentations feature the company\u2019s expanding portfolio of autonomous maritime technologies, including the REMUS family of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and the ROMULUS family of AI-enabled unmanned surface vessels (USVs) as well as HII\u2019s Odyssey Autonomous Control System (ACS) software suite.<\/p>\n

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the REMUS UUV family, widely recognized as the world\u2019s leading autonomous underwater vehicle platform supporting defense, commercial, and scientific missions worldwide. HII has delivered more than 750 REMUS vehicles to over 30 countries, including 14 NATO members, with more than 90% of systems remaining operational after more than two decades of service.<\/p>\n

HII\u2019s Odyssey ACS software suite has demonstrated successful performance in U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and international allied programs. Odyssey\u2019s intuitive interface and enhanced, customizable features generate the required mission behaviors for greater lethality and survivability with simplified control of unmanned swarms across domains, making it a force multiplier for the modern fleet.<\/p>\n

HII is also highlighting several recent milestones demonstrating the rapid advancement of autonomous naval capabilities, including:<\/p>\n
