Overview
- HII executives visited Breaux Brothers in Loreauville, Louisiana, to review hull progress, Odyssey ACS integration, and outfitting with build partner Incat Crowther and support from Dark Sea Labs.
- The prototype launches a family intended for rapid, repeatable production to serve the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, joint forces, and allied operators.
- Planned roles span intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, counter‑UAS, mine countermeasures, strike, and the launch and recovery of UUVs and UAVs.
- The platform centers on HII’s Odyssey autonomy suite, already fielded on more than 35 USV platforms and over 750 REMUS UUVs across 30 countries.
- Third‑party capabilities are slated from Shield AI, Applied Intuition, and C3 AI, following a November integrated autonomy test by HII and Shield AI on a ROMULUS 20 USV.
