The US Navy, IBM, Four Inc., and Cubewise have launched a program to enhance the service’s fleet readiness aboard the USNS Robert E. Peary.
Led by US Fleet Forces Command, the Class 1 Common Operating Picture program was established to provide fleets with efficient decision-making timelines related to response plans, including the ability to surge and sustain fleets.
Managing Fleet Supply Through Artificial Intelligence
IBM’s Planning Analytics with Watson, an AI-powered integrated platform, will serve as the program’s technological backbone for modeling supply and demand matching systems.
“It’s all about getting the right food to the right place at the right time. When we apply business intelligence, we will optimize the supply chain and sustain the force more effectively with sustained mission readiness.” Capt. Mark Bowmer, Fleet Supply Policy, U.S. Fleet Forces Command.
