Dassault Aviation Tests Artificial Intelligence on Rafale Jet

Dassault Aviation has conducted successful flight tests of two new sovereign Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms on its Rafale fighter jet. The first algorithm was developed by the company's own engineers, while the second was developed in collaboration with Thales/cortAIx.

This development is part of a broader initiative to integrate controlled and supervised AI into the cockpit for the crew. The algorithms have reached a maturity level making them eligible for future Rafale evolutions. These flight tests demonstrate Dassault Aviation's expertise in integrating AI into combat systems.

The company highlights that military aeronautics presents specific AI challenges, including managing operational data, leveraging expertise, and optimizing resources on platforms with strict constraints. These are core areas of Dassault Aviation's long-standing experience as an industrial architect and integrator of complex systems.
