Applied Intuition Delivers AI Data Engine for U.S. Navy's Autonomous Systems — APPLIED INTUITION, INC.

Event summary

Applied Intuition delivered DECK, a large-scale data engine for the U.S. Navy's autonomous systems, under the PAE RAS program.
DECK enables real-time edge data collection and AI model updates to improve system accuracy and reduce operator workload.
The system is modular and can be deployed as a small form-factor or scaled as part of an end-to-end capability.
Secretary of the Navy John Phelan emphasized DECK's role in transforming ships into adaptive, AI-enabled systems.

The big picture

Applied Intuition's DECK delivery marks a critical step in the U.S. Navy's shift toward a software-defined fleet, addressing long-standing gaps in data collection and AI integration. The move underscores the growing reliance on private sector innovation to modernize defense capabilities at scale. This trend is part of a broader industry push toward AI-enabled autonomous systems across military and commercial sectors.
