While new technologies like AI are unlocking previously out of reach concepts, technology alone is not the answer. We must look at ways in which technologies can be optimised for the use by the operator. Our operators are dealing with more data. Our command teams must manage more assets and capabilities – but also face deliberate efforts to erode trust, to develop uncertainty and to disrupt our data, information and knowledge. The operational risks mean making decisions in less time with higher operational tempos.Thales is a key player in trusted, cyber-secure, transparent, explainable, and ethical AI, serving the armed forces, aircraft manufacturers, and critical infrastructure operators.
