SYRACUSE, N.Y., May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — U.S. Rep. Brandon Williams (NY-22) toured HII’s engineering facility in downtown Syracuse on Monday.
HII’s Mission Technologies division employs approximately 200 engineers and technicians in Syracuse and Rome, specializing in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) as well as electronic warfare. The Syracuse facility serves as a hub for integrating various technologies crucial for supporting all branches of the U.S. military and other national security agencies.
“I was excited to see the cutting-edge technologies that support our warfighters being developed right here in Central New York,” Williams said. “The work on electromagnetic warfare, sensors and control systems here in Syracuse, supporting our Army and Navy, is increasingly relevant as we seek to deter the advances of our adversaries. I’m proud of this facility’s strong contributions to our national defense and look forward to supporting these programs, along with the rest of our district’s priorities, in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act and defense appropriations bill.”
Andy Green, executive vice president of HII and president of Mission Technologies, said, “HII is honored to have hosted Congressman Brandon Williams and to demonstrate the pride we have in delivering the advantage to our Department of Defense and national security customers.”
