HUNTINGTON INGALLS INDUSTRIES (HII) INDUSTRY BRIEFING - Friday 10th November 2023 Perth Western Australia

With the rapidly approaching implementation of AUKUS in Australia, it is important that Defence Industry SME’s can pro-actively collaborate to develop robust Supply Chains for key stakeholders involved in the Program.

We are excited to announce that the Henderson Alliance has formed a collaborative partnership with a key AUKUS stakeholder, Huntington Ingalls Industries.

Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) is one of the largest shipbuilders in the United States of America, employing over 43,000 people. Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS), a division of HII, is the USA’s sole designer, builder and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of only two shipyards capable of designing and building nuclear-powered submarines, leveraging their unique expertise in nuclear propulsion, naval design and manufacturing. NNS provides fleet services for our ships worldwide.

Headquartered in Canberra, HII Australia is leveraging HII’s proven track record in construction of nuclear-powered submarines, advanced technologies, and infrastructure development including workforce and supply chain, in support of the Australia, United Kingdom, and United States (AUKUS) security partnership.

HII Australia (Huntington Ingalls Industries Australia Pty Ltd.) operates as a business unit under HII’s Mission Technologies division. HII Australia has provided maintenance, modernisation, unmanned systems development, engineering, design, logistics, prototyping, software development, network, and database management, as well as end-to-end training solutions.

Industry partnerships are critical to HII’s business and sustainability success. HII is committed to nurturing strong relationships with suppliers and partners in Australia whose products, services and capabilities advance our customers’ missions and meet our strategic business objectives.
