NIUVT

The National Institute for Undersea Vehicle Technology (NIUVT) is a partnership between the University of Connecticut (UConn), University of Rhode Island (URI) and General Dynamics Electric Boat (EB) to enhance performance and reduce costs of the shipbuilding process while ensuring that advanced technologies are implemented into the next generation and next platform of undersea vehicles. NIUVT builds upon the experience and expertise of EB, UConn and URI to engage in research, technology transition, and workforce development. Through these activities, NIUVT will develop the personnel and knowledge needed to accelerate critical research and enhance U.S. superiority in submarine and other undersea vehicle technologies... The NIUVT is located in close proximity to the naval submarine base in Groton, Connecticut, as well as to Electric Boat's facilities in Connecticut and Rhode Island, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, the Naval War College, and approximately 600 naval supply chain..
