Thales announces that it has signed a contract with start-up NukkAI to develop an artificial intelligence data fusion solution for military use.
At a time when military analysts are facing difficulties in their extraction tasks due to the massive volumes of data they collect from a variety of sources, automated, real-time processing of this data will enable them to be more effective in developing cutting-edge military strategies.
Thales will therefore integrate NukkAI's solution into certain computer programs for military use.
For David Sadek, Vice President Research, Technology & Innovation, in charge of AI at Thales, 'This pilot will represent a real technological breakthrough in the military field, where our analysts will be able to devote themselves to tasks to which humans bring high added value'.
