What you'll learn
- Lockheed Martin announced from Honolulu on 5 August 2026 that it had collaborated with the US Navy to demonstrate an artificial-intelligence system for anti-submarine warfare aboard two MH-60R helicopters during RIMPAC 2026, and that “retraining the model takes under 5 minutes per iteration”.
- The engineering that would have to receive such a model is separately priced: the US Navy has ordered the System Configuration 28 fleet release from the same company for $54,103,975, of which $19,521,098 in Foreign Military Sales customer funds was obligated at award , with completion scheduled for October 2028.
