The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Program lineage
No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.
Description
Mission — (U)UNDERSEA ARTIFICIAL INTEL/MACHINE LEARNING
New program element (PE) established to align undersea Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) capability development and meet OUSD (Intelligence and Security) requirement for Military Intelligence Program (MIP). AI/ML represents an important evolution in computer science and data processing by automating repetitive tasks such as data entry and analysis, mitigating human errors and increasing efficiency and operation productivity. AI/ML is quickly transforming the data gathering and identification process with undersea noise in support of undersea surveillance systems. This program is the data processing arm using AI/ML to ultimately support the missions and effects for Navy's undersea warfighting capabilities. The workload includes research, development and testing, as well as operations and maintain lines of effort to include civilian, military, contractor support/manpower and their related costs, and capability development. A dedicated MIP PE/LI is required to structure an effective resourcing strategy, prevent duplicative efforts, and ensure proper accounting of all undersea AI/ML resources.
Mission — Decision Support Tools and AI Development
Established program is the data processing arm using AI/ML to ultimately support the missions and effects for Navy's undersea warfighting capabilities. The workload includes research, development and testing, as well as operations and maintain lines of effort to include civilian, military, contractor support/manpower and their related costs, and capability development.

Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Undersea Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML). No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
