Sweeping for underwater explosives could take months despite a tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran in their weeks-long war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The up to $100 million contract for the San Francisco <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/2026\/04\/23\/inside-china-artificial-intelligence-is-a-snake-eating-its-own-tail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/2026\/04\/23\/inside-china-artificial-intelligence-is-a-snake-eating-its-own-tail\/\">artificial intelligence<\/a> company Domino Data Lab could quicken this process with software that can teach underwater drones to identify new types of mines in a matter of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/naval\/2026\/04\/28\/alpha-troops-and-more-ships-acting-navy-secretary-hung-cao-outlines-vision-for-service\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hung-cao.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">\u2018Alpha\u2019 troops and more ships: Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao outlines vision for service<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">In one of his first public addresses as acting Navy secretary, Hung Cao said he didn&#039;t need &quot;cross-dressers&quot; or &quot;leaf eaters&quot; in the service.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMine-hunting used to be a job for ships,\u201d Thomas Robinson, Domino\u2019s chief operating officer, said in an interview with Reuters. \u201cIt\u2019s becoming a job for AI. The Navy is paying for the platform that lets it train, govern, and field that AI at a speed required for contested waters that block global trade and imperil sailors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, the U.S. Navy awarded the up to $99.7 million contract to expand Domino\u2019s role as the AI backbone of the Navy\u2019s Project AMMO &#8211; Accelerated Machine Learning for Maritime Operations &#8211; a program to make underwater mine detection faster, more accurate, and less dependent on human sailors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The software integrates data from multiple sensor types, including side-scan sonar and visual imaging systems, and allows the Navy to monitor how well various AI detection models are performing in the field, identify failures, and push corrections to improve performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core of Domino\u2019s pitch &#8211; and the Navy\u2019s wager &#8211; is speed. Before the company\u2019s involvement, updating the AI models that power the Navy\u2019s unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) to recognize new or previously unseen mines could take up to six months. Domino says it has cut that cycle to days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robinson illustrated the relevance to the Middle East crisis: \u201cIf there were UUVs in the Baltic Sea trained on Russian mines, and then they needed to be deployed to the Strait of Hormuz to detect Iranian mines, with Domino\u2019s technology, the Navy could be ready in a week rather than a year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Navy spokesman was not immediately able to provide comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The core of Domino\u2019s
