The company said Thursday the contract, by far the largest deal ever secured by its Mission Technologies division, was revealed during HII’s third-quarter earnings call on Oct. 31.
The engineering and defense technologies provider will leverage its pool of experts on electronic warfare and electromagnetic spectrum for the project.
Six-time Wash100 Award winner Andy Green, the executive vice president of HII and president of HII’s Mission Technologies division, stated, “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.”

The HII division also secured a contract from USAF in 2022 to conduct research, testing and assessment on EW and EM spectrum.
