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.
BIRD Aerosystems has delivered a nationwide C4I system to an unnamed customer, the company announced on 26 March.
The new system incorporates information from different surveillance segments including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and ground sensors, and incorporates it into a 24/7 unified nation-wide situational awareness picture. The system is designed to enable high-level commanders to supervise and manage missions more effectively and create valuable intelligence information.
This is the first nationwide C4I system delivered by BIRD Aerosystems that includes additional functions such as high-level mission planning for different forces and a detailed mission debrief capability.
Ronen Factor, co-chief executive officer and founder, BIRD Aerosystems, said: ‘We are excited to provide an advanced nationwide command and control system to a key client, which is already using BIRD Aerosystems'
Special Mission Aircraft Solutions programme for a number of years.
'I am confident that the system will allow commanders to manage the missions in a more efficient way, as well as to plan future missions in an effective way and gain valuable conclusions from the debriefs.’
