The U.S. Navy is investing $448 million into a modernised system for the country’s shipyards, accelerating the integration of AI and other automated tools into the American maritime industry.
The program is called the Shipbuilding Operating System (Ship OS).
It will be a unified, data-driven management system that integrates information from enterprise resource planning tools, legacy databases and real-time production systems.
Secretary of the Navy John Phelan announced the initiative at the Department of the Navy’s first Rapid Capabilities Office Industry Day.
Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp joined him as the company is developing the software for the digital system.
The development comes as shipyards across the U.S are facing high demand, a shortage of labour and ageing infrastructure.

Naval officials stated that by offering a common digital framework, Ship OS will help shipyards to modernise their operations and improve coordination with suppliers.
