“We are honored to support Austal USA in its mission to modernize and scale naval submarine production in the United States, ultimately serving important national defense efforts,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. “Our Shipyard AI® platform was developed by, and for, shipyard planners and builders to provide heightened efficiency and efficacy at each stage of the shipbuilding lifecycle, minimizing costly delays in production and ultimately delivering vessels to their mission operators more quickly.”

Shipbuilders can face resource and capacity constraints, costly bottlenecks, and a limited labor force, presenting challenges while striving to adhere to predetermined budgets and schedules to achieve project milestones. BigBear.ai’s Shipyard AI® will assist Austal USA in capacity planning optimizing the use of shipyard real estate and resources. As a result, BigBear.ai will help ensure the U.S. sustains a strong deterrent posture and retains the capability to rapidly project force against perceived adversaries.
