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.

HII: ROMULUS and the Future Fleet

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.
