These capabilities encompass C5ISR systems and operations, unmanned autonomous systems, and critical nuclear operations [3].
The company executes full-spectrum cyber operations, providing critical intelligence and developing robust platforms and tools for civilian and military operators [6]. HII utilizes applied artificial intelligence (AI), autonomy, deep learning, and machine learning to analyze massive data sets and support informed decision-making [6]. For instance, HII developed a petabyte-scale data analytics platform designed to analyze media using Publicly Available Information (PAI) across a large number of languages [6]. Furthermore, the Odyssey Advanced autonomy suite transforms any vehicle into an intelligent robotic platform, enabling multi-vehicle collaborative autonomy and sensor fusion, and has been installed on 23 vessel types and 22 programs since 2007 [6].
HII provides extensive support for warfighter readiness through Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) solutions, delivering open architecture and data solutions for effective integration of complex new, current, and legacy systems [15]. This includes supporting the U.S. Navy’s Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) and the Navy Integrated Training Environment (NITE) [15].
