Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) stands as America’s largest shipbuilder and a premier, global, all-domain defense provider with a distinguished 135-year legacy of advancing U.S. national security. Formed as an independent publicly traded corporation on March 31, 2011, through the merger of two historic shipbuilding entities, HII has since expanded its strategic capabilities through a third specialized division dedicated to delivering advanced all-domain technology solutions to civil, commercial and defense sectors worldwide. The enterprise remains deeply connected to its industrial heritage drawing its name from foundational pioneers Collis Potter Huntington, who established Newport News Shipbuilding and Robert Ingersoll Ingalls Sr. who founded Ingalls Shipbuilding. Guided by a singular mission to safeguard global peace and freedom HII engineers the critical multi-domain advantages necessary to protect the nation and its allies.
To support the modern connected all-domain force, HII develops highly integrated solutions designed to optimize tactical decision making and operational readiness across complex battlefields. The company’s sophisticated technical portfolio encompasses Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems and operations, alongside the advanced application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to accelerate battlefield intelligence. Furthermore, HII delivers robust defensive and offensive cyberspace strategies, electronic warfare (EW) capabilities and next-generation unmanned autonomous systems. These capabilities are reinforced by high-fidelity Live, Virtual and Constructive training solutions, comprehensive naval fleet modernization programs and highly critical nuclear operations that sustain the longevity and lethality of the nation’s strategic maritime assets.
Today, HII serves as a foundational pillar of the defense industrial base maintaining an active shipbuilding contract backlog that exceeds $45 billion. As a vital economic engine, the corporation utilizes a diverse and elite workforce of more than 44,000 personnel making it the largest industrial employer in both Mississippi and Virginia, where the company maintains its global headquarters. This extensive talent pool seamlessly integrates master tradespeople with leading AI/ML experts, engineers, technologists, scientists, logistics professionals and corporate strategists. Through this unified workforce HII guarantees the reliable large-scale execution of complex defense programs while continuously driving regional economic prosperity and reinforcing national resilience.
