Objective:
The AI Team will conduct industry reviews and work to identify specific AI categories and processes that have a potentially high rate of return. These will be presented as opportunities for future AI projects. It is our goal to execute several small projects to demonstrate near-term AI value, identify opportunities for wider implementation, and further define a future evaluation strategy.
- Business Objectives
- To conduct the planning and implementation of AI pilot projects that drive the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in applicable use cases
- To promote collaboration across the business at all levels
- To identify and leverage defense AI projects and apply them to shipbuilding processes
- Technology Objectives
- To increase the efficiency of technical processes
- To increase knowledge of available artificial intelligence software and application
- To leverage on-premise systems and databases for data analytics
- To identify opportunities to drive efficiency throughout the engineering and design organization in the areas of communications, calculations, research gathering, evaluations, documentation, and presentation.
Summary:
Our AI goals and objectives are twofold. The first is Strategic efforts involving A) industry review and categorization of AI capabilities to be aligned with Shipbuilding processes for optimization and B) use-case review and development with ODU on their Mission Readiness Model. Secondly are Tactical efforts involving pilot evaluation of AI proposals from A) Ingalls; large language model (LLM), and B) Mission Technologies; AI/ML capabilities for identifying & predicting maintenance events.
Key Deliverables / Benefits:
This project will hold a webinar or demo along with providing a final report with recommendations.
