News Summary

• AI-equipped helicopters went on the offensive off the islands of Hawaii as the US Navy and Lockheed Martin set two modified Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopters to hunt submarines.
• The purpose of the RIMPAC demonstration was to showcase a new artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) sonar processing system called SensorMAX.
• The result is a system that, in the long term, could carry out sub hunting autonomously, but in the short term acts as an onboard co-pilot.
