General Dynamics acquires Bluefin Robotics

General Dynamics Mission Systems said today it has purchased Bluefin Robotics, which manufactures unmanned undersea vehicles.

In a statement, Chris Marzilli, president of the GD business unit, said Bluefin's underwater technologies align with GD's experience in undersea systems integration. The deal, he said, would position the company well to support the Navy.

Bluefin will become part of the GDMS maritime and strategic systems business line. The company said it would not disclose the price it paid.
