Huntington Ingalls acquires Engineering Solutions Division

Issue No. 3-4 | February 01-28, 2015

Huntington Ingalls industries (HII) has acquired the Engineering Solutions Division (ESD) of the Columbia Group, a leading designer and builder of unmanned underwater vehicles for domestic and international customers. The value of the transaction is not being disclosed.

“ESD’s experience in designing and developing manned and unmanned submersibles is a natural extension of the submarine work we do at Newport News Shipbuilding,” said Matt Mulherin, HII Corporate Vice President and Newport News Shipbuilding President. “We believe the combination of Newport News and ESD expertise will enable us to compete successfully in the unmanned underwater vehicle market, and we are excited to welcome ESD to our team.”

ESD will operate as Undersea Solutions Group, a subsidiary of HII, and will report to Newport News Shipbuilding’s Submarine and Fleet Support Division.
