High Reliability Group LLC is now providing supplier quality services to the Submarine and Aircraft Carrier Industrial Base. This week, HRG Senior Advisor Kevin Mooney (pictured here with MMA Chairman John Rhatigan PE), spoke at the Marine Machinery Association and American Shipbuilding Suppliers Association October Meeting at Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) in Danville, VA. Kevin discussed the supplier quality environment at Electric Boat and Newport News Shipyards and offered a range of services to help suppliers prepare for audits and upgrade their Quality Management Systems.

At the The Hill's Future of Defense Summit yesterday, Representative Rob Wittman (R-VA) brought up a crucial point: the U.S. needs to step up shipbuilding efforts to stay strong on the global stage. Steady funding for aircraft carriers is vital for the industrial base and it’s important we stay on track in the production of these state-of-the-art national security assets.
