MCLEAN, Va. — HII announced Aug. 11 that its Mission Technologies division has been awarded a $2.2 billion task order to deliver advanced Surveillance, Tracking, Intelligence, Network Services, Global Reconnaissance, Analysis, and Interceptions (STRINGRAI) in support of the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).

STRINGRAI will enhance SOUTHCOM’s ability to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit activity across Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, while strengthening integrated intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities essential to defending the U.S. homeland and national interests.

HII will lead an integrated team to provide SOUTHCOM and partner nations with a comprehensive suite of intelligence gathering capabilities, advanced technologies and adaptable innovative all-domain platforms for high-level operational readiness and preparedness.

“This award is an incredible opportunity and goes right to the heart of what SOUTHCOM needs — clearer visibility, faster decision-making, and the ability to stay ahead of rapidly changing threats. Our team understands the complexity of this region, and we’re proud to support the command with solutions that help protect U.S. interests and strengthen security across the hemisphere,” said Andy Green, executive vice president of HII and president of HII’s Mission Technologies division.
