Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
Engineering Services Network (ESN) has received an $8.2 million task order from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme division, the company announced on 13 April.
The one-year task order will see ESN evaluate design concepts and develop technical documentation to support efforts on current and proposed combat system and C4I programmes.
Douglas Lopez, chief operating officer, ESN, said: 'This ongoing contract with the Naval Surface Warfare Center demonstrates ESN's extensive experience in comprehensive programme management and systems engineering.
'It also highlights the breadth and depth of our support for planning and coordinating the installation of combat system ship platform integration in aircraft carriers, L-Class ships and other battle group units.'
Raymond Lopez, Jr, president and CEO, ESN, said: 'Our mission at ESN is to work with the fleet and type commanders by establishing an engineering resource for planning and coordinating the installation of combat system ship platform integration and C4I in aircraft carriers, L-Class ships.'
