Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
Systematic has developed new data analysis software for military users as an enhancement to its SitaWare Headquarters C4I system.
The AI-powered SitaWare Insight decision support tool enables intelligence specialists to store, retrieve and analyse data easily in ‘a military version of a commercial search engine’, said Henrik Sommer, SitaWare Insight product manager and domain expert.
SitaWare Insight exploits sensor information, images, videos, documents and other military data, providing a secure and scalable repository for this information with an AI-powered search function.
As a result, Systematic claimed in a 5 January statement, users can pinpoint data on enemy positions, images, documents, equipment and other mission-critical information.
SitaWare Insight also integrates non-military data sources to support tactical and strategic intelligence, planning and operational roles.
For example, operators could use SitaWare Insight to retrieve information on a particular geographical area, and then combine this with the mapping capabilities of SitaWare Headquarters.
Advanced image and object recognition technology enhances SitaWare Insight, for instance by training the software to identify different vehicles or equipment, tagging these with the appropriate metadata and storing them in a data lake for future access.

Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
