-- HII (HII) said Tuesday it signed a memorandum of understanding with artificial intelligence firm Applied Intuition to develop advanced software systems for next-generation naval vessels.

The businesses will initially focus on integrating the commercial software into the upcoming Romulus line of uncrewed surface vessels currently being built in Louisiana, HII said.
