Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. HII

Company Overview

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII) is a U.S.-based defense contractor and industrial company specializing in the design, construction, overhaul, and maintenance of military platforms and advanced defense technologies. The company primarily operates within the defense, aerospace and maritime, and government services industries, with a strong focus on supporting U.S. national security requirements. HII is the largest military shipbuilder in the United States and a major provider of mission-critical services and technologies to the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies.

HII’s primary revenue drivers are naval shipbuilding programs and defense-focused mission technologies, serving the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and intelligence and defense agencies. Its unique strategic advantage lies in its exclusive capability to build and refuel U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and its long-term, backlog-supported contracts that provide revenue visibility. The company was formed in 2011 as a spin-off from Northrop Grumman, consolidating its shipbuilding assets into an independent, publicly traded entity and later expanding into advanced defense services through acquisitions.
