The Navy says AI cut a 160-hour submarine-planning job down to just 10 minutes - now it's investing $448 million to go bigger
"The Navy is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into an artificial intelligence system that it says has sped up key shipbuilding processes. In one case, the AI cut painstaking processes of submarine schedule planning - mapping out how the many pieces of construction fit together and making sure people, parts, and yard space are available at the right time - from many hours to only minutes."
"The Ship OS technology is powered by Palantir's Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform and began in pilot programs at submarine shipyards. At General Dynamics Electric Boat, a long-time submarine yard located in Connecticut, submarine schedule planning saw a dramatic reduction from 160 manual hours down to under 10 minutes. And at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine, material review times for submarines went from taking weeks to under an hour."
The Navy is investing $448 million to deploy a Palantir-powered Shipbuilding Operating System (Ship OS) to modernize shipyard operations and accelerate AI adoption. Ship OS began in pilot programs at submarine shipyards and delivered major time savings: submarine schedule planning dropped from 160 manual hours to under 10 minutes at General Dynamics Electric Boat, and material review times at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard fell from weeks to under an hour. The program will initially target the submarine industrial base, then expand across two major shipbuilders, three public yards, and about 100 suppliers to scale AI and autonomy across the industrial base.
