Huntington Ingalls sells undersea drones to Germany Navy [The Daily Press]
Huntington Ingalls Industries’ push into the unmanned vessels business this year has gone international, with a sale of undersea drones to the German Navy.
The REMUS 100 drones are a key product of the Massachusetts-based unmanned vessel manufacturer, Hydroid Inc., that HII acquired earlier this year for $350 million. The German Navy will use the drones to clear mines. It won’t say how many it is buying or what it is paying for them.
HII followed its purchase of Hydroid this fall, announcing a facility in Hampton that it will use for production and testing.
