Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A house RESOLUTION   to recognize and commend leonardo drs for its significant investment in south carolina, its contributions to national defense, and its support of the united states navy's shipbuilding and submarine programs.
  Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that on Friday, January 23, 2026, Leonardo DRS will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony in celebration of their new naval power systems facility in Charleston, marking a major milestone in advanced manufacturing and national defense capabilities within the Palmetto State;
and   Whereas, the new Charleston naval facility encompasses approximately 140,000 square feet and represents a substantial investment to expand domestic production capacity in support of United States Navy submarine and shipbuilding programs including the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine program, a cornerstone of the nation's strategic deterrence;
and   Whereas, the facility provides state-of-the-art space for advanced manufacturing, final assembly, system integration, and testing, dedicated to large-scale components for Leonardo DRS's naval electric power and propulsion systems;
and   Whereas, as the United States Navy continues to field more power-intensive weapons, sensors, and advanced computing systems, the need for scalable, integrated power architectures has become essential to mission success across next-generation surface combatants and submarines;
and   Whereas, the Charleston naval facility strategically positions Leonardo DRS to deliver these advanced power and propulsion architectures at scale, while maintaining the schedule reliability, quality, and performance required to meet the evolving needs of the United States Navy and allied maritime forces;
and   Whereas, Leonardo DRS, through its naval power business, designs and delivers advanced power and propulsion solutions engineered for the world's most demanding maritime and battlefield environments, enables support for advanced sensors, directed-energy systems, high performance computing, and propulsion across surface ships, submarines, and ground platforms;
and   Whereas, the company's proven capabilities include Columbia-class submarine power and propulsion systems, hybrid electric drive technologies, and onboard power solutions that are reliable, cost-effective, and backed by decades of operational performance;
and   Whereas, the establishment of the Charleston naval facility strengthens South Carolina's role as a critical contributor to national defense, enhances domestic manufacturing capability, and supports high-skill jobs while fostering long-term economic growth within the region;
and   Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate Leonardo DRS's continued partnership with the United States Navy and its commitment to innovation, reliability, and excellence in support of national security and the warfighters.  Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
  That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend Leonardo DRS for its significant investment in South Carolina, its contributions to national defense, and its support of the United States Navy's shipbuilding and submarine programs.    Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Leonardo DRS.  ----XX---- This web page was last updated on January 22, 2026 at 10:37 AM
