HII Awarded Navy Lionfish Contract Worth Over $347M
HII has been awarded an option year production contract for the U.S. Navy's next-generation program of record, the Lionfish small unmanned undersea vehicle. Lionfish is based on HII's commercial REMUS 300 platform, originally developed as part of a rapid prototyping initiative in collaboration with the U.S. Navy and the Defense Innovation Unit. This latest option year contract continues to build the momentum of the Lionfish program, which marked a major production milestone at the close of 2025 with the completion of the 42nd Lionfish vehicle at HII's Pocasset facility. The five-year program could scale to as many as 200 vehicles, with a total contract value exceeding $347M.
