US Navy Submarine Command: Submariners are overloaded with data from onboard systems, so artificial intelligence tools are being introduced

The U.S. Navy is introducing new technologies to its submarine force to make it safer, smarter and deadlier. This is the interpretation, in fact, of the American command. Among the changes that will have the greatest impact is the transition of the Federal Submarine Tactical Warfare System (SWFTS) to a cloud-based shared computing environment. SWFTS includes submarine sonar, electronic warfare systems, and is also involved in ship control, navigation, and much more.

Capt. Todd Weeks, executive director of the U.S. Undersea Combat Systems program, said at the Naval Submarine League's annual symposium that the move separates hardware and software, making it faster and easier to update each.

The shared computing system also provides enhanced cybersecurity and creates capacity to install artificial intelligence tools for submariners.

Weeks said submariners are inundated with sonar and electronic warfare data, far more than they can analyze manually. The AI ​​tool will be able to quickly produce data, allowing sailors to view a narrower range of potentially interesting information.

When the US Navy began testing these artificial intelligence tools aboard submarines, it created what it called a “sandbox” for these applications so that users could access the data generated by SWFTS without creating a risk or otherwise impacting existing systems.

In addition, the US Navy intends to begin procurement of SSN(X) attack submarines approximately ten years after the 35-year construction period of the Virginia-class submarines.

Rear Adm. John Rucker, executive director of the attack submarine program, said his team is engaged in technology development and early design work. They will include the best designs for the Virginia, Seawolf and Columbia submarines and will focus on four characteristics: speed, payload, stealth and operational readiness.

Weeks told reporters that Pennsylvania State University's Applied Research Laboratory has developed the CRAW system, which has more recent operating software than the old system.

The CRAW will first be deployed for the offensive anti-submarine mission and will later gain anti-torpedo protection capability through a software update.

US Navy Submarine Command: Submariners are overloaded with data from onboard systems, so artificial intelligence tools are being introduced

. So it’s clear that a person/specialist is not able to embrace the immensity... while the bar/limit of perception, performance/efficiency is different for everyone, and gathering many specialists with the best parameters is not a trivial task!
In general, we need automation, “helpers” that partially relieve the specialist of the mass of insignificant work/indicators, giving only significant, important work for analysis/control by the specialist himself.

[Evlokh]

They will unload if they are configured correctly! And control vigilantly!!! Tigers are trained, and sometimes they attack the trainer, but at least they are in a cage, but here there is complete freedom.
We can’t cope with Covid, but AI is basically a “Pandora’s box”!!!

[km-21]

It must be recognized that the Americans are leaders in the field of information technology and artificial intelligence, and that in the military sphere, the use of IT and AI gives them an advantage that can be decisive on the battlefield. Especially considering that they are also leading in near space. It is not possible to catch up and overtake the Americans in this direction. Therefore, today we need to think about an asymmetric response. It is quite possible that the only option for such a response will be a preemptive strike on the United States, so that after some time it will not be too late.

[Sergey39]

I don’t know where the Americans are ahead in automating nuclear submarine operation processes. A small example.
Nuclear submarine "Virginia" - 100-120 crew members.
Nuclear submarine "Yasen M" - 64 crew members.
I took as an example identical nuclear submarines in terms of class and task performance. You can immediately see where automation is used and where “blacks work on the plantation.”

[km-21]

Take an interest in a comparative analysis of the production of microelectronics and software in the USA (+ satellites) and in Russia.

[NIKN]

In fact, all microelectronics production in Asian countries is mainly done by them. Well, the bigger the pigsty, the more crap there is.

[Alex Nevs]

Don't confuse cucumber with eggplant. And what does your “preventiveness” have to do with it? .

And if you remember the size of the crew of our Lear?
It is from Lear that we have the skills to automate the control of nuclear submarines.

[Defender 9993]

Ii (hikaya, circular zps and rdo) - the X crew relaxed, decided to get drunk, inject themselves and forget. It’s a terrible thing, especially considering the “works” of an untrained AI. This is how you can start a World War II

And what does the crew have to do with it? A submarine is not an airplane.
Hundreds of people can fit there without any problems, there’s only one fig in that coffin. With appropriate reservations, in the end, yes.

For what? To make the life support systems glow louder? The required minimum is taken. And it is directly related to process automation.

[Sergey39]

One more example. Since the times of the USSR, we have had a “Perimeter” system; the Americans nicknamed it “Dead Hand”. Delivering a retaliatory strike against the enemy with nuclear weapons.

[km-21]

You give specific examples,
and I'm talking about the general trend.

[tralflot1832]

Sergey 39. Project 705 / 7O5 K "Lira" crew of 32 people. We remove the Commander and cook from the watch, divide it into 3 watches - the boat was controlled by 10 people. Developments from the USSR on nuclear submarine automation remained.

[Alex Nevs]

And I removed the minuses for “preventiveness”. No primary sources? Well, gag - let me show you ahead.

[Kerensky]

and also participates in ship control, navigation and much more.

And then it displays: Oh, that’s it!

[Alien From]

The Terminator has died - it has run out of gas, thought Stirlitz!

[Smoked]

They won't have long to suffer. Unmanned systems are increasingly becoming part of our lives, and an expensive weapons system controlled by dozens of people is losing its meaning.

[Corvair]

Then it will divide by zero and die with the message “Err”

It seems that the need for artificial stems from a serious problem with natural...

[tralflot1832]

The American AI, after analyzing the entire volume of data, gave the command to scuttle the boat at the pier. “Raise the perescope,” ugh, open the kingstons. We’re waiting.

[nepunamemuk]

Possibility of protection against anti-torpedo torpedoes

bad translation from English by artificial intelligence?

[gridasov]

Talking about AI and deep and dynamic applied analysis of events without a fundamental mathematical basis - you don’t even have to look for an associative comparison. This is either to shape the human brain to work with large variable combinations of the development of events and their optimization, or to switch to multipolar logic instead of binary. Working with large amounts of data and their processing is becoming widespread in all areas of activity. In addition, we should not forget that the higher the volume of data, the higher the energy costs for these processes. Therefore, everyone will understand how this will affect such local spaces as submarines.

[Alex Nevs]

Close. When scientists understand about dark forces and dark energy, then something close to AI may appear. Everything else is dreams. But you can’t live without them!

[CYYC]

Each US submarine receives data from several dozen satellites, NATO command centers, escort cover ships,
from AWACS aircraft and radio buoys.

They work competently, evaluating all incoming data.

And most importantly, amers never say “there are no analogues.” They are practical and understand that sooner or later someone will create exactly the same copy

[Alex Nevs]

Exaggerated. There is a stick on different sides (for a banana). One is slightly longer than the opponent’s, but you can’t throw it. In short, you can still toss it. The probabilities differ, but so does the frequency... and how the thrown one will change position and hit. Not so simple.

[dzvero]

Will he keep important information for himself?

Only we have 3 of them in our fleet, 1 is in testing and 5 are under construction. The Americans have 22 in their fleet and 44 in construction plans. So, if something happens, they will quickly cut off our oxygen and then just launch a vigorous loaf directly from the pier, if we have time.

Modern equipment provides the operator with a huge amount of data. But not because the operator needs this data, but because the sensors are cheap, their installation is easy, and they work well on the budget. “AI elements” increase the estimate even more, so miracles cannot be avoided)
Before the War, to organize the process of submerging a submarine, it was necessary to issue about forty commands. When it came to war and survival, there was only one team left - Urgent Dive! This is absolutely enough. All other teams were not needed to organize the dive of the boat, they simply pleased the ears of the authorities. AI is a must... Hehe.
