Inertial navigation is a sealed box and doesn't require more headcount than the H100s.

In the outer space, yes; you can compute orbits for millennia to come. In the ocean, with its currents, it's way less easy.

I don't think you understand, inertial navigation is not computing (as in predicting) anything. It is a bunch of sensors to measure where you are.

Using AI to predict where you might be based on crappy cheap sensor data and ocean simulations is never going to be precise enough. AI can't pull signal out of noise and uncertainty.

Yeah, but people with monies see this as "AI can help replace expensive milspec hardware with cheap COTS garbage plus some software magic pixie dust, for approximately the same effect [during peace time, in harbor]".
