By the close of 2025, HII will have delivered 42 of the small unmanned craft to the service. These vehicles are engineered for high-stakes maritime environments, handling intelligence gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance tasks. Beyond basic monitoring, the Lionfish platform supports active electronic warfare and anti-submarine operations, providing the Navy with a versatile tool for undersea dominance.
