Submarine with a BRAIN: Royal Navy fires torpedo using new AI system

The British Navy has fired its first torpedo using a radical new'brain' fitted to a nuclear submarine. The Royal Navy's latest and most advanced Astute class submarine, Artful, used the Common Combat System for the first time. It is the first to use this new technology which is now being retrofitted to earlier Astute class submarines. The new system, provided by VMware, Dell and Aish, processes information from submarine sensors to enable crew members to make important command decisions. It was used during the test to interpret sonar readings and then attack a moving target with a practice weapon.
