Unlocking the future of underwater defense: How the U.S. Navy and DIU are leading AI innovation with AWS

The U.S. Navy and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) are revolutionizing underwater defense through Project Accelerated Machine Learning for Maritime Operations (AMMO), which leverages AI and machine learning for underwater threat detection.

• Addressed challenge of static machine learning models in dynamic underwater environments
• Partnered with Domino Data Lab to create a flexible MLOps pipeline on AWS GovCloud
• Reduced model update time from six months to just a few days
• Successfully demonstrated rapid model retraining and deployment during a military exercise
• Developed a scalable approach to AI infrastructure for national defense

The project represents a significant leap in AI innovation for maritime operations, enabling faster threat detection and response in underwater environments through advanced machine learning technologies.
