Lockheed demonstrates rapidly retrainable AI sonar system SensorMAX for submarine detection at RIMPAC 2026

• Lockheed Martin demonstrated SensorMAX, a rapidly retrainable AI/ML sonar system for antisubmarine warfare, during RIMPAC 2026.
• Two MH-60R helicopters used the system to monitor sonobuoy acoustic data, supporting faster detection and tracking of undersea threats.
• Operators labeled new signatures, retrained models in under 5 minutes, then pushed encrypted over-the-air updates back to aircraft.
• The interface handled up to eight simultaneous sonobuoy feeds, doubling legacy surveillance capacity in the exercise.
• Lockheed Martin positioned the results as a step toward fleetwide crew-uncrewed teaming, enabled by portable, cross-sensor AI deployment.
