The Navy is using a new pathfinder capability that continuously gathers and manages large amounts of data that the sea service can use to build better artificial intelligence algorithms and autonomous systems.<\/p>\n

AI company Applied Intuition announced Thursday that it has delivered the first Data Edge Collection Kit (DECK) to the Navy. The nascent effort is being managed by the service\u2019s portfolio acquisition executive for robotic and autonomous systems, and broadly looks to field large-scale data engines that ingest battlefield information and turn it into AI-ready data for sailors, according to Jason Brown, general manager of defense at Applied Intuition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t really overstate how important large volumes of data are required to make AI work,\u201d Brown told DefenseScoop on Wednesday. \u201cThe amount of data used to train ChatGPT or any [large language model] is just unbelievable. \u2026 So everything that\u2019s out there in the operating environment should be gathering data for AI solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leaders at the Pentagon have been discussing how to leverage advancements in artificial intelligence for military use cases for years, but the second Trump administration has called on the entire department to lean more into the technology. Ongoing efforts like GenAI.mil are designed to make these types of tools a part of everyday workflows, while others are using more tailored AI capabilities for specific missions.<\/p>\n

For the Navy, leaders have emphasized that AI will be a critical element to developing a software-designed future force known as Golden Fleet. During the WEST Conference in February, Secretary of the Navy John Phelan emphasized that deploying DECK is one of the first steps to the transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt turns ships into learning systems, not static platforms, enabling an iterative and adaptable feedback loop with legacy bespoke architectures that historically have evolved only through programmatic redesign,\u201d Phelan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
