HII expands unmanned maritime systems facility in Massachusetts

HII, a major player in unmanned maritime systems, has expanded its production facility in Pocasset, Massachusetts, by 10,000 square feet. The expansion brings the total facility size to 50,000 square feet, increasing the company's production capacity for unmanned underwater vehicles and unmanned surface vessels. This includes the U.S. Navy’s Lionfish small unmanned undersea vehicle and the REMUS 620 UUV, both of which are currently in production.

The Lionfish is based on HII’s commercial REMUS 300 platform. The expansion also supports the integration of HII’s Odyssey Autonomous Control Solutions software, which offers simulation and modeling capabilities for maritime autonomous operations. U.S. Rep. Bill Keating attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the expansion, highlighting the company's growth and its contribution to national security and job creation in Massachusetts.
