What Happened

SensorMAX System Enhances Antisubmarine Warfare Capabilities

Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy demonstrated an artificial intelligence and machine-learning capability designed to rapidly update antisubmarine warfare acoustic classification models during the Rim of the Pacific exercise. The SensorMAX system monitored subsurface acoustic data collected from sonobuoys deployed by MH-60R helicopters and enabled operators to incorporate newly identified acoustic signatures into updated AI classifiers. This technology was first reported by Military Aerospace.
