The first ROMULUS Large Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (LUSV), currently under construction by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) in Louisiana, has reached approximately 30% completion and is scheduled to begin sea trials later this year. ROMULUS is designed around a distributed production model, allowing construction by small shipyards across multiple locations. HII has partnered with Babcock to offer the LUSV integrated with Type 31 frigate operations, supporting enhanced interoperability and expanded operational flexibility for future surface fleets.
