flag HII and Shield AI successfully tested AI-powered autonomy on a U.S. Navy drone ship, advancing unmanned fleet goals.

flag HII and Shield AI successfully tested their integrated AI autonomy system on the ROMULUS 20 unmanned surface vessel in Virginia Beach during late October 2025, marking the first maritime deployment of Shield AI’s Hivemind software. flag The three-day trial combined Hivemind with HII’s Odyssey autonomy suite, enabling advanced autonomous navigation, collision avoidance, and mission execution. flag The integration, completed in under six weeks, supports future manned-unmanned teaming and operations in GPS-denied environments. flag The ROMULUS 190, under construction, will feature both systems and is designed for high-speed, long-range missions. flag The collaboration advances U.S. Navy goals for autonomous fleets, including the Replicator program, and strengthens maritime security in the Indo-Pacific.
