Unmanned Systems

BRIDGING DOMAINS. BREAKING BARRIERS.

The maritime battlespace is complex, contested and data‑dense for traditional, manned-only systems to operate effectively. HII’s unmanned and autonomous systems deliver the autonomous advantage across air, land and sea needed to build the Navy’s future fleet.

HII delivers a family of unmanned and autonomous systems that extends reach and decision advantage across the maritime domain, especially in contested environments.

Unmatched Unmanned Autonomy

REMUS unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), ROMULUS^™ unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and the Odyssey^™ suite of advanced autonomy solutions provide a multi-domain, multi-mission collaborative autonomy architecture that integrates into larger networks and platforms to independently provide distinct mission value. Odyssey^™ can be integrated with HII’s Mission Management System to provide manned-unmanned command and control (C2) across air and sea for long-range targeting against adversaries.

Delivering the Autonomous Advantage

Collaborative Autonomy: Unified control framework connecting airborne, undersea, surface and manned assets.
System-of-Systems Integration: Ecosystem designed to integrate into larger networks and platforms for multi-domain coordination.
Increased Standoff Capability: Extended detection and tracking range, stationing manned assets at safer operational distances.
Fielded and Proven: Hundreds of systems delivered, thousands of operational hours logged, and a 90% active-service rate over two decades worldwide.
Production-Ready: Rapid delivery and scalability through established facilities and reliable supply chain.
Modular and Scalable: Open architecture supports rapid payload and third-party autonomy integration and flexible mission configuration for seamless teaming with third parties.
Multi-Mission Capable: Kinetic and non-kinetic effects enabled via multi-mission software applications that consistently succeed during fleet tests and demonstrations.
One-Way Attritable Delivery: Execute one-way missions that expand operational flexibility to protect personnel.

As America’s largest military shipbuilder, HII is blending its rich shipbuilding heritage with advanced autonomous technology to protect the nation. Experience the ROMULUS, a testament to our ability to militarize autonomy for the U.S. Navy today.
