Media Advisory — Media Invited to HII Unmanned Autonomy Briefing
| What: | As the U.S. Navy and allied navies accelerate the integration of manned and unmanned maritime operations, one technology will be essential to mission success: proven, reliable autonomy. Join HII experts for an exclusive media briefing on the Odyssey Autonomous Control System (ACS), HII’s proven autonomy software powering the next generation of intelligent unmanned vehicles. Built on an open architecture, Odyssey ACS combines advanced autonomy, navigation, communications, onboard processing and modular interfaces that enable the rapid integration of commercial, government and customer-developed payloads. The system transforms any vehicles into intelligent robotic platforms capable of collaborative autonomy, sensor fusion and enhanced perception across a broad range of missions. Already deployed on REMUS unmanned underwater vehicles in more than 30 countries and ROMULUS unmanned surface vehicles, Odyssey ACS provides a proven foundation for future integrated operations while reducing technology risk, lowering lifecycle costs and enabling rapid capability upgrades. During this briefing, HII experts will discuss how Odyssey ACS is helping shape the future of U.S. Navy and allied undersea operations and why trusted autonomy will be a decisive advantage in the evolving maritime battlespace.
