HII is Awarded Electromagnetic Spectrum Contract to Support DOD CIO
July 25 2022 - 10:00AM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Mission Technologies division has been awarded a
task order to provide spectrum assessments across technical, policy
and strategy areas for the Department of Defense Chief Information
Officer.
“Spectrum” refers to the range of invisible radio frequencies
across which wireless signals travel. Consumers rely on spectrum
for daily interactions including calls and the use of apps from
mobile devices. The U.S. military relies on spectrum for
performance of critical capabilities including military
communications, navigation, radar and nonintrusive inspection of
aircraft and other equipment. The Defense Department also relies on
electromagnetic spectrum for intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance applications such as missile early warning and
signals intelligence.

Spectrum Enterprise, Policy, and Programs and advance the
electromagnetic spectrum enterprise and management operations by
providing technical assessments and facilitating spectrum policy
development.
“HII’s spectrum engineers and policy experts have supported the
DOD and commercial carrier spectrum bandwidth for more than 65
years,” said Garry Schwartz, president of HII’s Mission
Technologies C5ISR business group. “This award reaffirms the
strength in our partnership as we continue to accelerate our
nation’s electromagnetic spectrum superiority strategy.”
