BigBear.ai Stock Soars Over 13% On Partnership With SMX To Enhance US Navy’s Maritime Awareness

BigBear.ai Holdings Inc. (BBAI) shares surged more than 13% in Tuesday’s opening trade after the company announced a collaboration with SMX to enhance the United States Navy’s maritime awareness.

BigBear.ai will deploy its artificial intelligence and orchestration technologies in support of the U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command at UNITAS 2025, the company announced.

At the time of writing, BigBear.ai was the top trending stock on the Stocktwits platform. Retail sentiment around the company trended in ‘extremely bullish’ territory.

“In complex maritime environments – where illicit trafficking, illegal arms smuggling, and other transnational threats strain limited resources – our AI-driven insights can provide operators with enhanced situational awareness and the advantage needed to achieve mission success,” said BigBear.ai CEO Kevin McAleenan.

The company stated that its domain awareness and AI orchestration solutions will be integrated across unmanned vehicles and hybrid fleet innovations during the UNITAS 2025 exercise. Its solutions will include computer vision, pattern-of-life analysis, and risk forecasting, BigBear.ai added.

It will also demonstrate the ConductorOS platform, which it says can operate in denied, degraded, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DDIL) environments. This will enable operators to deploy AI models at the edge and across various missions, the company stated.

Earlier this month, BigBear.ai introduced its biometric verification technology at the Nashville International Airport to streamline the international arrivals process for U.S. travelers through its veriScan platform. This Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) solution captures a real-time facial scan and matches it with government records, enabling passengers to proceed through customs checks without presenting a physical passport.

BBAI stock is up 82% year-to-date and 422% over the past 12 months.
