MCLEAN, Virginia. HII’s Mission Technologies division won a task order to enhance research in navigation and autonomy technologies for the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Defense, the company announced in a statement.

The research, conducted at the Air Force Institute of Technology’s (AFIT) Autonomy and Navigation Technology (ANT) Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, will focus on three areas: autonomous and cooperative systems, non-GPS precision navigation, and robust global navigation satellite systems, according to the statement.

HII’s work will support AFIT’s mission to address challenges in GPS-denied environments and advance navigation warfare technologies, the company says. This task order was awarded under the U.S. Department of Defense’s Information Analysis Center (IAC) Multiple Award Contract vehicle.
