Overview
- The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded HII Mission Technologies a five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract worth up to $418 million for engineering, maintenance and repair of elevators and related cargo‑handling systems.
- HII will deploy rapid‑response fly‑away teams and deliver sailor training so crews can fix routine problems at sea and cut downtime during deployments.
- Work under the contract will take place inside the continental U.S., outside the continental U.S., and at forward‑deployed locations around the world.
- Elevator failures can block movement of aircraft parts, ammunition and maintenance gear between decks and slow flight operations, so steady maintenance directly supports carrier and amphibious ship readiness.
- The award, announced in late June, strengthens HII’s sustainment business and comes as the company advances unmanned platforms such as the REMUS 130 UUV and the ROMULUS USV, signaling a broader role in lifecycle support and naval modernization.
