TKMS and Cohere have signed a Teaming Agreement to jointly explore the integration of advanced artificial intelligence technologies into the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project. The agreement was signed on 13 January in Kiel and focuses on supporting Canada’s future submarine requirements and modernisation priorities.

 

The collaboration will assess the use of language and data-driven AI models for decision-support workflows, onboard information management, training environments and secure naval interfaces. According to the companies, the initiative also underlines TKMS’s long-term commitment to Canadian industry and the responsible, secure deployment of advanced AI technologies.



“Canada’s next-generation submarine project presents an opportunity to bring the most modern and reliable technologies to the Royal Canadian Navy,” said Thomas Keupp, Chief Sales Officer at TKMS. “Cohere’s expertise in trustworthy AI models aligns perfectly with our vision and together, we aim to enhance the user experience and operational efficiency of future crews while maintaining the highest security and safety standards.”



“Submarines are the ultimate high-stakes workplace. Through our partnership with TKMS, we’re embedding critical solutions that empower sailors to act decisively,” said Dave Ferris, Vice President of Americas and Global Public Sector at Cohere. “Our technology will help the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project to meet stringent demands for precision, security, and streamlined operations, while reducing cognitive load.”
