France, Oct. 23 -- Modern naval forces face a trifecta of unprecedented challenges: the return of high-intensity combat, the proliferation of low-cost asymmetric threats, the imperative for electromagnetic Spectrum Dominance.Distributed airborne autonomy addresses these challenges by creating an intelligent, networked battlespace where crewed and uncrewed systems, operate in perfect synchronisation boosted by AI and advanced sensors. Thales adopts a layered approach to autonomy, encompassing platform autonomy to fly and navigate without a human in control, payload autonomy to find and classify targets at high tempo, and mission autonomy to orchestrate multi-asset collaboration in the most dynamic environments. This ensures seamless integrat...
