Cohere Partners With TKMS For Submarines
Toronto-based Cohere has struck a partnership with German submarine maker ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) to explore integrating its large language models into the Canadian Patrol Submarine Program (CPSP), which aims to procure 12 new submarines; TKMS was shortlisted alongside Hanwha Ocean in August 2025. The collaboration will focus on research, prototyping, onboard decision-support, information management, training environments and secure naval interfaces at depths up to 500 metres, following Cohere's recent defence agreements.
Key Points
- 1Announces partnership: Cohere and TKMS to integrate LLMs into Canada's CPSP for onboard decision support.
- 2Addresses high-stakes operational needs by emphasizing precision, security, training, and reduced cognitive load onboard.
- 3Impacts procurement: aligns with CPSP shortlist process and broader Canadian defence modernization and spending.
Scoring Rationale
Strong real-world LLM deployment potential across a national defence program, limited by narrow military vertical and implementation complexity.
