Data is king in the digital age, and it has become an increasingly crucial element in informing the United States’ strategies both on and off the battlefield. In this Executive Spotlight interview, Henry Choi, vice president of growth and strategy at HII Mission Technologies, shared his thoughts on how data enables CJADC2, major GovCon market trends, and HII’s strategic vision for the future.
Choi, a GovCon industry veteran with more than two decades of experience in some of the sector’s major firms, discussed the outlook on the global defense landscape and significant trends shaping the GovCon market. He emphasized the importance of agile decision-making in today’s data-informed battlefield, highlighting AI-powered data analytics as a key enabler for providing actionable information to warfighters.
In addressing pressing national security threats, Choi pointed out the importance of cyber-worthiness and operational efficiencies in securing DOD enterprise systems. HII Mission Technologies has been partnering with the U.S. government to deliver unique Defensive Cyber Operation capabilities, including expertise in utilizing government-owned platforms for securely ingesting and analyzing large data sets.
Looking ahead, Choi sees opportunities for expansion in HII’s portfolio in information superiority and cyberwarfare. The company is focusing on developing data fabric solutions to connect and enable an all-domain force, as well as supporting hunt-forward operations with deployable sensor technology to detect malicious cyber activity.
As HII looks towards the future, Choi emphasized the company’s growth strategy, positioning Mission Technologies as the growth engine for HII. With a strong focus on expanding partnerships and delivering unique capabilities to organizations like Space Command and Space Force, HII is poised to continue its success in the GovCon market.
