Together, the facility and HYPR reflect HII’s vision for transforming how unmanned surface vessels are built. The company aims to move from prototype construction to scalable, repeatable production using automation, digital design, and standardized manufacturing processes. The approach is intended to lower unit costs, shorten production timelines, and support program-level delivery of the ROMULUS family of USVs. #### Enhanced USV Assembly Facility The upgraded Breaux Brothers facility is designed to support serial production of ROMULUS vessels ranging from approximately 20 feet to 190 feet in length. The expanded layout emphasizes automation, advanced tooling, and standardized workflows to enable efficient, high-rate production across multiple vessel variants using a common manufacturing approach. The concept supports HII’s broader goal of creating a fully automated structural assembly environment tailored to the ROMULUS family.…
