HII expands European unmanned operations with new facility

HII (HII) has doubled the size of its unmanned facility in Portchester, U.K. “The enlarged facility significantly enhances and strengthens the company’s presence in the United Kingdom and increases capacity and support for the U.K. Royal Navy and European partners that operate the REMUS line of unmanned underwater vehicles,” the company said. In addition to supporting regional unmanned customers, the Portchester facility will serve as a European hub for HII’s Mission Technologies division, enabling customer support for U.S. combatant commands and allied missions.
