NAVSEA's SSN(X) program office posted a presolicitation on 30 October for software to support the arrangement of propulsion plant, weapons, sensors, machinery and crew spaces, using the term “Super Intelligence” that the Navy mandated in October for AI. Non-proprietary expressions of interest are due 6 November, possibly followed by a formal call including an other-transaction authority. No funding or award count is stated; the first SSN(X) has slipped to FY2040 and CBO estimates about 8.7 billion dollars per boat.
