The Navy’s four public shipyards and two unidentified private shipyards are working with Palantir for a program the service is calling “Ship OS” as part of a new $448 million effort to improve efficiency through better use of data. Announced at an industry day on Tuesday, the Shipbuilding Operating System program, or Ship OS, will collect data from across the new construction and maintenance systems to streamline shipbuilding and the repair of the current fleet, according to the service. “Every ship builder who partners with us will have AI power tools that optimize their work in real time. Every supplier in the network will be connected through intelligent logistics,” Secretary of the Navy John Phelan said on stage with Palantir CEO Alex Karp. “Every program manager will have unprecedented visibility into schedule, cost and risk. We’re not just building ships faster. We’re rebuilding American maritime industrial capacity for the AI age.”
