Paired with HII’s proven REMUS UUVs, the ROMULUS USV significantly extends undersea reach by closing anti-submarine warfare sensing gaps and keeping manned platforms at a safer standoff distance. Together, ROMULUS and REMUS deliver a scalable, dual-domain solution across surface and subsurface missions that integrates with manned platforms to enable a Hybrid Fleet capability.","length":611,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"The Nominal-supported data project is one of several improvements HII is implementing across the REMUS and ROMULUS manufacturing pipeline to augment vehicle production and overall manufacturing capacity.","length":203,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"“Autonomy programs move at the speed of their test-and-learn loop,” said Cameron McCord, CEO and co-founder at Nominal. “To maintain maritime security, testing needs to span manufacturing through operations, and from prototype to high-scale production —the HII and Nominal partnership will bring resilient technologies to bear at speed, at scale.”","...
