Orchestrate thousands of aircraft takeoffs and landings (40,697 in the month of July 2023 alone at Roissy Charles de Gaulle) by avoiding queues in the sky, in order to optimize fuel consumption and streamline traffic air. Plan a military intelligence mission, taking into account the topography, weather, friendly or enemy positions and movements of the different actors on the battlefield, in several dimensions (air, land, sea, space and cyber). Classify and detect all aerial movements more than 200 km away, while not confusing the electromagnetic signature of a drone with that of a bird, as part of the anti-aircraft defense of a city. It's mission impossible for the human brain, saturated by a deluge of data.
For decades, air traffic controllers, army chiefs of staff and military radar operators have been assisted by computers. And more recently by intelligent algorithms, capable of extracting relevant data and proposing action plans. And that, in a matter of seconds. These AIs dedicated to critical systems must be reliable and secure but also be able to justify, in a simple way, their recommendations.
This is the playground of Thales, the European leader in “trusted AI”, which has been embedding AI-based technologies in around a hundred systems and sensors for around ten years. The defense group wants to accelerate with new generation AI dedicated to critical industries: defense, aeronautics, space, digital identity, etc.
