The U.S. Navy is investing $448 million in the Shipbuilding Operating System (Ship OS) to enhance shipyard operations and incorporate AI technology, as announced by Secretary of the Navy John Phelan. Developed by Palantir Technologies, the system aims to streamline management, particularly in submarine production, with pilot projects demonstrating significant scheduling efficiencies. The Navy plans to expand the system's use to surface combatants, seeking cost savings and improved supply-chain visibility amid competition with China's shipbuilding industry.
