(CercleFinance.com) – On the occasion of the Eurosatory exhibition, Thales unveiled on Monday an offer dedicated to land combat combining both drones and robots.
The initiative, which also integrates artificial intelligence (AI) modules, is intended for missions ranging from reconnaissance to intelligence, including the fight against nuclear, biological or chemical threats.
“Recent conflicts have demonstrated the contribution of drones and robots to help armed forces see better and act more quickly, with greater efficiency, while protecting men,” explains the defense electronics engineer in a press release. .
‘Their use also makes it possible to saturate the enemy, without increasing the number or the mental load of the operators,’ he continues.
The system, called ‘OpenDRobotics’, is based on standards used by NATO, thus allowing the integration of drones and robots from partners and other companies.
The announcement was made official on the occasion of the World Defense and Security Exhibition (Eurosatory) which opens today in Villepinte, near Paris.
