HII was awarded a $6.7 billion contract to provide electronic warfare engineering and technical services support for the U.S. Air Force.
The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract is the largest ever awarded to HII’s Mission Technologies division.
“We have a team of subject matter experts with deep expertise in all aspects of electromagnetic spectrum and electronic warfare, and we are committed to staying a step ahead of our adversaries alongside our customers as the complexity of warfare changes,” said Andy Green, Executive Vice President of HII and President of HII’s Mission Technologies division.
This award was initially announced during HII’s third quarter earnings call on October 31, 2024.
On March 31, 2011, Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) formed as an independently, publicly traded company when two legacy shipyards joined forces to become the nation’s largest shipbuilder. Since then, HII’s portfolio expanded further with the establishment of a third division that delivers all-domain technology solutions to civil, commercial, and defense customers both domestically and internationally.
Today HII is a global, all-domain defense provider with a more than $45 billion shipbuilding backlog and more than 44,000 employees. It is the largest industrial employer in both Virginia, where the company is headquartered, and in Mississippi.
The company’s name derives from the founders of its shipbuilding divisions: Collis Potter Huntington, who founded Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, and Robert Ingersoll Ingalls Sr., who established Ingalls Shipbuilding.
As the nation’s largest military shipbuilder, and with a more than 135-year history of advancing U.S. national security, HII delivers critical capabilities extending from ships to unmanned systems, cyber, ISR, AI/ML and synthetic training.
