Will AI Steal Submarines’ Stealth?

Cars That Think

But they have worked just as hard at advancing a wide array of radar, sonar, and other technologies designed to detect, target, and eliminate enemy submarines. This timing is particularly significant because the enormous costs required to design and build a submarine are meant to be spread out over at least 60 years.
