C3.ai stock rises on strategic partnership with military shipbuilder HII

Investing.com -- C3.ai Inc (NYSE:AI) stock rose 2.7% following the announcement of a strategic partnership with Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII), America’s largest military shipbuilder, to expand digital technologies and apply artificial intelligence to accelerate shipbuilding throughput.

The partnership aims to integrate AI solutions across HII’s shipbuilding operations, including planning, operations, supply chain, and labor allocation at its Newport News Shipbuilding and Ingalls Shipbuilding divisions. These efforts are expected to accelerate production and support the U.S. Navy’s fleet readiness needs.

"C3 AI is proud to team with HII to ensure its vision in maintaining the nation’s maritime industrial dominance through the adoption of next-generation shipbuilding technologies," said Thomas M. Siebel, chairman and CEO of C3 AI. "By deploying Enterprise AI across planning, operations, and the supply chain, we are powering a modern, intelligent infrastructure to ensure America’s edge in naval readiness."

The collaboration builds on a six-month initial Enterprise AI production deployment program at Ingalls Shipbuilding, where shipbuilding teams used algorithms to optimize work schedules. This initial deployment, powered by the C3 Agentic AI Platform, demonstrated significant improvements in schedule performance.

Initial efforts will focus on enhancing planning and scheduling at HII’s two shipbuilding divisions that build amphibious ships, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines for the U.S. Navy.

The partnership also includes opportunities in uncrewed vehicle production and sustainment, marking a significant milestone in the digitization of America’s defense industrial base.
