Defense
Rhode Island enjoys a proud tradition of supporting our nation’s defense. From the first National Guard members defending our state in 1638, Rhode Islanders have always played a critical role preserving our nation’s security. Through the U.S. Naval Installations at Quonset Point and Newport, the critical work at the U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center, the world-class education provided at the United States Naval War College and the defense industry giants of General Dynamics/Electric Boat and Raytheon, Rhode Island’s proud tradition continues today.
From established defense contractors to innovative small businesses with dual-use products and services, Rhode Island's defense sector continues to grow, particularly in sea, undersea and unmanned systems. The state's military-industrial complex spans Quonset Business Park, Unity Park and Aquidneck Island, where companies are expanding operations. These developments cement Rhode Island's position as a leader in defense technology.
