DASSAULT Aviation has flight-tested two new sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms on the company’s Rafale fighter jet, with the first being developed by the company’s engineers, while the second was developed in collaboration with Thales/cortAIx.
The development of these new functions is part of a broader initiative to integrate controlled and supervised AI into the cockpit, serving the human crew. They have reached a level of maturity that makes them eligible for future Rafale upgrades.
The in-flight testing of these functions once again demonstrates Dassault Aviation’s expertise in integrating AI into combat systems. This capability requires mastering several key challenges specific to military aviation: ensuring the availability and quality of operational data (real or simulated), leveraging and synergising domain expertise, and optimising resource efficiency on an embedded platform subject to stringent constraints.–-shp/adj/dl (Pix:DASSAULT)
