November 25, 2025 (Cape Cod, MA) – The Cape Cod Technology Council will take a deep dive on the topic of unmanned autonomous vehicles at its Final First Friday of the year on December 5th, 7:30-9 am, at Cape Cod Community College.
HII Unmanned System’s Chief Technology Officer Jeremy Shattuck will show how both unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are being used as a solution in defense, marine research, and commercial applications.

“We’ll be looking at the capabilities of UUVs and USVs, the types of mission objectives they are used in, and what they are good at when used to complement manned platforms,” said Shattuck, who has been at HII since 2017. “I used to work in maritime sensor technology and maritime intelligence. I knew it would all eventually be replaced with robotics. I love the mission aspect of this work in support of aerospace, defense, research, and commercial.”
“In many cases, these autonomous vehicles are able to explore places and conduct tasks that manned vehicles cannot,” said Tech Council Executive Director Michael White. “This talk will showcase the benefits this technology offers various sectors and how it can be used to improve and address safety, climate change, fisheries, and our marine environment.”
A 135-year-old company based in Virginia, HII is at the forefront of UUV and USV technology, helping to advance national security by delivering the world’s most powerful ships and all-domain solutions in service to the country.
Since joining HII, Shattuck has taken on multiple engineering leadership roles in its global Unmanned Systems group. Working out of its Pocasset office, he is currently responsible for leading the technology roadmap for HII’s UUVs (REMUS), USVs (ROMULUS), and autonomy software (ODYSSEY).
Shattuck began his career with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport in 2001, becoming the technical Program Manager for Special Projects where he led technical solutions for undersea national intelligence collection priorities.
He is a recipient of the National Defense Industrial Association Ferguson Award for Systems Engineering Excellence and currently serves on the board of directors for the Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium. He is a guest lecturer at several universities on topics of marine robotics and the defense industry for engineers.
He holds a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering and from the University of Connecticut; an MBA and MA in international relations from Salve Regina University; a Naval War College War Diploma; and an master’s of science in systems engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School.
