About the Company

Huntington Ingalls Industries

Naval shipbuilding and defense technologies

Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) designs, builds, and maintains advanced ships and defense technologies for national security. It operates through three divisions: Ingalls Shipbuilding and Newport News Shipbuilding, which construct ships such as aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, destroyers, and other naval assets for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, and Mission Technologies, which develops cybersecurity, unmanned systems, and C5ISR solutions using artificial intelligence and machine learning to support military operations. The company combines traditional naval shipbuilding with advanced tech like space operations, electronic warfare, and autonomous systems across land, sea, and air. This makes HII different from competitors by integrating end-to-end ship construction with high-tech defense solutions under one umbrella. Its goal is to help maintain global security and national defense by delivering reliable ships and integrated defense technologies to customers.
