Overview
- Initial rollout targets two major submarine builders, three public shipyards, and roughly 100 suppliers before possible expansion to surface ship programs.
- Palantir’s Foundry-powered Ship OS will integrate legacy planning, inventory, and operations data to identify bottlenecks and apply predictive analytics.
- Navy-cited pilot results include reducing Electric Boat’s schedule planning from 160 manual hours to under 10 minutes and cutting Portsmouth Naval Shipyard material reviews from weeks to under an hour.
- The effort is managed through the Maritime Industrial Base program and Naval Sea Systems Command, with funding drawn from this year’s reconciliation spending legislation.
- Payments to Palantir hinge on demonstrated productivity gains, with officials touting early time savings while cautioning about workforce limits and scaling the approach across the wider industrial base.
