March 13 2024 - 4:00AM
HII (NYSE: HII) has received an order for a REMUS 620 unmanned
underwater vehicle (UUV) from an international customer in the
Indo-Pacific Region.
The customized, medium-class REMUS 620 UUV will be built and
delivered in 2024 by HII’s Mission Technologies division and will
be used for monitoring and data collection missions.
Unveiled in 2022, the REMUS 620 has a battery life of up to 110
hours and a range of 275 nautical miles, providing unmatched
mission capabilities for mine countermeasures, hydrographic
surveys, intelligence collection, surveillance and electronic
warfare.
The REMUS 620 achieved two significant development milestones in
2023 with a successful in-water test in October and first sea test
in December.
“The REMUS 620 is the premier medium-class UUV designed for
adaptability, versatility and long range operations,” said Duane
Fotheringham, president of Mission Technologies’ Unmanned Systems
business group. “Its adaptability to a wide range of missions, from
oceanographic research to defense operations, showcases the
innovative spirit of our team and the advanced capabilities of our
technology."

This is the second REMUS 620 order. In August 2023, the U.S.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced
the order of two REMUS 620 UUVs for higher-resolution mapping of
the Gulf of Mexico and NOAA’s effort to restore the seafloor
habitats damaged by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The
agency has previously used other REMUS models for habitat
characterization, marine archeology and other ocean mapping and
exploration activities.
The REMUS line of UUVs has been successful around the world
supporting scientific research and operations and is currently in
use in more than 30 countries.
