(AOF) – On the occasion of the global defense and security exhibition Eurosatory, Thales (+1.1% to 151.95 euros) formalized several agreements this Monday. The defense technology specialist has signed a new partnership with the CEA in the field of generative artificial intelligence with an initial duration of 3 years and renewable. The CEA will thus bring its know-how in multimodal generative AI (based on texts, images, audio, electromagnetic signals, structured data, etc.).
Generative AI can be developed for the purpose of accelerating OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) command loops and implemented across the entire critical decision chain: detection and data collection; data transmission and storage; data processing and decision-making.
It “will play the role of a trusted intelligent assistant for users (…) with the aim of facilitating and accelerating human decision-making and the tempo of operations”.
In addition, Thales will quadruple its ammunition production capacity at its La Ferté Saint Aubin site to meet the needs of the Army. The Joint Munitions Service has placed a new order for several tens of thousands of 120mm rifled munitions. Thanks to this contract, the site’s annual production will increase from 20,000 munitions in 2023 to more than 80,000 per year by 2026.
The defense group will also supply more than 6,000 software-defined radios to the Irish Defense Forces. In addition to the radio equipment, the contract also includes the provision of digital services to ensure the maintenance of all the equipment delivered.
Finally, the Brazilian Air Force is equipped with two Thales Ground Master 200 Multi Mission air surveillance radars. It “covers the entire threat spectrum, from mini drones to more agile, longer-range aircraft,” the defense group explained.
