MCLEAN, Va. March 13, 2024 - Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), a leading provider of advanced defense products and services, has recently announced that it has received a significant order for a REMUS 620 unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) from an undisclosed international customer in the Indo-Pacific region. This order highlights HII’s growing presence in the global defense market and underscores its reputation as a trusted supplier of cutting-edge technology for military operations.
The REMUS 620 UUV is a highly advanced and versatile underwater vehicle that plays a crucial role in various naval applications, including mine countermeasures, underwater surveys, and intelligence operations.

This order comes on the heels of HII’s recent success in securing other noteworthy contracts. In January 2024, HII’s Mission Technologies division was awarded a $197 million recompete task order contract to develop the Joint Training Synthetic Environment (JTSE).
