The U.S. Navy is investing $448 million in the Shipbuilding Operating System (Ship OS) to modernize shipyards and integrate AI. Announced by Secretary of the Navy John Phelan, the system aims to unify management and improve efficiency.

Palantir Technologies is developing the software, addressing high demand and labor shortages. Initial focus is on submarine production, with pilot projects showing significant time reductions in scheduling. The Navy plans a broader rollout for surface combatants, aiming for cost savings and better supply-chain visibility amidst competition with China's shipbuilding.
