Spear AI Raises Funding to Apply AI to Submarine Data
deal with Meta Platforms.Data from acoustic sensors is different. Spear AI co-founders Michael Hunter, a former analyst who supported Navy SEALs and the Joint Special Operations Command, and John McGunnigle, a former nuclear submarine commander for the U.S. Navy, are building a hardware and software platform that aims to prepare that data for AI algorithms.The company sells sensors that can be attached to buoys or vessels and a software tool to help label and sort the data gathered by the sensors to make it ready to be put into AI systems. The U.S. Navy this month awarded Spear AI a $6-million
