PROJECT 38: Inside Huntington Ingalls' Alion integration & overall services strategy
Huntington Ingalls Industries is integrating its $1.65 billion acquisition in Alion Science & Technology in a deal that further illuminates the shipbuilder's strategy for its services and solutions business, whose president Andy Green dives into his plans with our Ross Wilkers for this episode of Project 38.
Huntington Ingalls Industries just completed its largest-ever acquisition, the $1.65 billion deal for Alion Science & Technology, and is now at work integrating that big piece into the shipbuilder’s technical solutions segment.
This episode of Project 38 both functions as an update on that integration and a big-picture explanation of HII’s strategy for its technical solutions segment from its president Andy Green.
Much change and portfolio shaping has taken place since HII stood up the technical solutions segment in late 2016 to house its government services work, of which our Ross Wilkers has discussed with Green a few times since.
This latest conversation between Green and Wilkers includes a discussion on where HII looks to make sure its shipbuilding and solutions sides contribute to what the other is doing and the company at-large, plus some of the technical challenges they work on together and particularly in the emerging unmanned maritime domain.
