HII Expands Pocasset Unmanned Facility by 25 Percent

HII expanded its unmanned systems production campus in Pocasset, Massachusetts, by 10,000 square feet, raising manufacturing space from 40,000 to 50,000 square feet. U.S. Representative Bill Keating (MA-09) attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the expanded facility. The site produces REMUS unmanned underwater vehicles and ROMULUS unmanned surface vessels. HII said the added space will support production of the U.S. Navy’s Lionfish small unmanned undersea vehicle, based on the REMUS 300 platform, and the REMUS 620, and will advance integration of Odyssey Autonomous Control Solutions software, including simulation, modeling and autonomy hardware for ROMULUS. The Navy awarded HII an option-year contract in July for continued Lionfish production. HII said the campus employs about 300 people and has added 50 employees year to date in 2026.
