Pentagon investments driving “steady growth” at Mission Technologies Defense One reported this week that Mission Technologies “has seen steady growth for the first half of the year, with $791 million in revenue for Q2—aligning with the Pentagon’s investments in drones, electronic warfare, cybersecurity and laser technologies.” The story quoted HII President and CEO Chris Kastner, who said during the second quarter earnings call: “Key wins included a contract to provide live training solutions to the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation. We also announced a commercial sale of REMUS 300 UUVs to Hitachi. … We have the premier uncrewed underwater vehicle program up in our Boston organization within Mission Technologies, and then some very interesting programs we're evaluating participating in from a surface standpoint. [Those] could be some tail winds, if we're successful in that regard.” https://lnkd.in/eRmi2ttf
