GenAI at Sea for Naval Surface Forces
summary
Task Force Hopper runs three concrete pilots: an on‑prem RAG sidekick — a standalone laptop (prosumer GPU like an RTX 5090, 24 GB) running an open‑source Mistral 7B model to guide SPY radar troubleshooting — which so far saves maintainer time but has not yet increased radar uptime and will first deploy on USS Chafee; an DECC edge data collection air‑gapped FLIR turret system that pre‑filters images at the edge to cut bandwidth by orders of magnitude; and FleetWorks sailor upskilling — an Austin accelerator training sailors to build organic shipboard software; Task Force Hopper is ~15 people inside a 300,000‑sailor fleet.
