HII delivers intial Lionfish SUUVs to U.S. Navy

HII (HII) announced the delivery of first two Lionfish small uncrewed undersea vehicles to the U.S. Navy under a program that could scale to 200 vehicles, with a contract value exceeding $347M. Lionfish is based on HII’s REMUS 300 platform, a modular, open-architecture SUUV engineered for multi-mission adaptability and the program was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Navy and Defense Innovation Unit, to accelerate the adoption of dual-use commercial technologies into U.S. Department of Defense programs. The program has been recognized as the U.S. Navy’s first transition from an other transaction prototype to full-scale production. The Lionfish SUUV is the first, and only, cyber-compliant uncrewed underwater vehicle.
