December 21 2020 - 9:00AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) announced today that it
delivered new REMUS 100 Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to the
German Navy. The vehicles will be used to expand the German Navy’s
current fleet of REMUS 100 UUVs used for mine countermeasure (MCM)
operations.
The new REMUS 100 UUVs have advanced core electronics and
endurance of up to 12 hours. Built on the REMUS Technology
Platform, the vehicles are open architecture and have enhanced
modularity.
“We value our ongoing partnership with the German Navy and are
proud to help enhance their national security capabilities,” said
Duane Fotheringham, president of Technical Solutions’ Unmanned
Systems business group. “Their new REMUS 100s will provide the
latest technology to assist them in conducting their MCM
operations.”

The German Navy previously acquired legacy REMUS 100 UUVs after
extensive trials by the Federal Office of Defense Technology &
Procurement. For the past seven years, the German Navy has been
using these successfully for area search, debris field mapping, and
topographic ocean floor mapping in water down to 100 meters. The
UUVs are outfitted with side scan sonar, using sound to create
images of the ocean floor and increasing search efficiency in low
visibility areas.
HII collaborated with J. Bornhöft Industriegeräte GmbH,
exclusive provider of HII's REMUS to Germany-based customers, to
deliver this technology to the German Navy. Germany is one of 12
NATO member countries, including the United States, which use REMUS
UUVs.
Huntington Ingalls Industries is America’s largest military
shipbuilding company and a provider of professional services to
partners in government and industry. For more than a century, HII’s
Newport News and Ingalls shipbuilding divisions in Virginia and
