WASHINGTON \u2014 L3Harris Technologies, the 10th largest defense contractor by revenue, and BigBear.ai, an artificial intelligence company, are partnering on products to support autonomous surface vessels, a key component of the U.S. Navy\u2019s playbook for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the cooperation agreement announced May 9, BigBear.ai will supply L3Harris<\/a> with its computer vision, predictive analytics and related applications in a bid to improve manned-unmanned teaming on the water and the identification and classification of foreign vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capabilities will be combined with the existing L3Harris ASView system, developed for autonomous and remote control of uncrewed vehicles. ASView has been in continuous development since 2008, according to the company, and has been deployed on more than 100 newly built and retrofitted ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur advanced AI capabilities enable autonomous vessels to operate with unparalleled efficiency and safety, supporting higher-risk missions, expanding operational reach, and, most importantly, saving lives,\u201d BigBear.ai CEO Mandy Long<\/a> said in a statement. \u201cAs the battlespace evolves, autonomous systems will play an increasingly significant role. We look forward to the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
