US Navy deploys AI to detect Iranian mines - Reuters
The US Navy is expanding use of artificial intelligence to detect Iranian naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to speed up clearance operations, Reuters reported.
A contract worth up to $100 million with Domino Data Lab will allow underwater drones to identify new types of mines within days rather than months. A company executive said the shift marks a move from ship-based mine hunting to AI-driven systems, as the US seeks to secure a key global shipping route.
