US Navy taps Domino Data Lab for AI-powered drone mine detection

The U.S. Navy has awarded Domino Data Lab a nearly $100 million contract to enhance its underwater drone capabilities for mine detection. This initiative aims to significantly reduce the time required to update detection algorithms, from months to days, improving the speed and safety of mine clearance operations. The technology will be deployed in the Strait of Hormuz and will leverage multiple sensor suites to enable real-time identification of new threats. AI
