HII has secured a five-year, $418-million contract to maintain and repair elevators and cargo handling systems aboard US Navy aircraft carriers and amphibious ships.
Under the agreement, HII’s Mission Technologies division will provide engineering support, maintenance, and technical repairs for shipboard elevator systems and associated equipment.
The contract also includes training for navy personnel and the deployment of rapid-response maintenance teams.
Work will be carried out both within the continental US and at forward-deployed naval bases worldwide.
The program builds on HII’s long-standing experience supporting the navy’s elevator systems and is intended to help sustain fleet readiness throughout the contract period.
Latest Programs
The latest award follows several recent HII contracts spanning autonomous maritime systems, submarine capabilities, and defense technology support.
Earlier this month, HII and Bayou Metal Supply & Manufacturing opened a dedicated production line in Louisiana to support serial manufacturing of the ROMULUS unmanned surface vessel.
The facility will produce key structural sections for the AI-enabled platform before final assembly at Breaux Brothers Enterprises.
In April, the US Navy selected the company to develop a torpedo tube launch and recovery system that will enable submarines to deploy and retrieve REMUS autonomous underwater vehicles through standard torpedo tubes.
Earlier this year, HII was also among 12 companies chosen for the Advanced Technology Support Program V, a 10-year, $25.4-billion multiple-award contract managed by the Defense Microelectronics Activity.
The program provides engineering, prototyping, microelectronics, and technology modernization services across the US Department of Defense and other federal agencies.
