HII (NYSE: HII), America\u2019s largest military shipbuilder, and enterprise AI<\/a> application software specialist C3 AI (NYSE: AI), have formed a strategic partnership to expand digital technologies and apply artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate shipbuilding throughput at HII\u2019s Newport News Shipbuilding<\/a> and Ingalls Shipbuilding<\/a> divisions.<\/p>\n \u201cIncreasing shipbuilding throughput is a critical priority for HII and the U.S. Navy,\u201d HII CEO Chris Kastner said. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with C3 AI <\/a>to leverage data and digital capabilities like artificial intelligence in the urgent work of delivering ships to the U.S. Navy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cC3 AI is proud to team with HII to ensure its vision in maintaining the nation\u2019s maritime industrial dominance through the adoption of next-generation shipbuilding technologies. This collaboration underscores our growing role as a strategic provider to the U.S. government and defense sector,\u201d said Thomas M. Siebel, chairman and CEO, C3 AI. \u201cBy deploying enterprise AI across planning, operations, and the supply chain, we are powering a modern, intelligent infrastructure to ensure America\u2019s edge in naval readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n HII is broadening an existing partnership with C3 AI to integrate AI solutions across its shipbuilding operations, including in the areas of planning, operations, supply chain and labor allocation. These efforts are expected to accelerate production and support the U.S. Navy\u2019s fleet readiness needs. The collaboration will also include opportunities in uncrewed vehicle production and sustainment.<\/p>\n The collaboration builds on a six-month initial enterprise AI production deployment program conducted at Ingalls Shipbuilding, where shipbuilding teams leveraged complex algorithms to adjust and optimize work schedules. The initial deployment of the C3 AI application \u2014 powered by the C3 Agentic AI Platform \u2014 demonstrated significant improvements in schedule performance, an effort which will now be scaled across HII shipyards.<\/p>\n Initial efforts will focus on leveraging AI to enhance planning and scheduling at Ingalls and Newport News.<\/p>\n The post HII partners with enterprise AI specialist to use artificial intelligence at Newport News and Ingalls<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
