ISD joins Patria-led Artificial Intelligence Warfare Adaptive Swarm Platform programme to reinforce Europe’s defence capabilities
ISD joins Patria-led industry consortium for the new joint Artificial Intelligence Warfare Adaptive Swarm Platform (AI-WASP) programme, which will develop a new generation, scalable and cognitive (AI-controlled) multifunctional software defined converged aperture and transceiver (AIMA).
Across all domains, our militaries need relevant situational awareness, communications systems that can perform ad hoc networking in dynamically evolving tactical situations and ability to conduct electronic protection and attack.
Incorporating secure communication, radio frequency surveillance and electronic attack capabilities in a single airborne radio frequency payload, will enhance Europe’s defence readiness in the modern multi-dimensional warfighting environment. AI-WASP is intended for use in manned and unmanned autonomous platforms of various sizes and operational environments, including arctic conditions.
Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Italy, Greece, and Spain have thrown their weight behind the programme, signing a Letter of Intent to join the development of the AI-powered warfare adaptive swarm platform. They will also provide national funding on top of the €45 million backing by the European Commission. Led by Patria, the powerhouse consortium unites 16 cutting-edge defence innovators from across Europe – including key players from France, Germany, and Lithuania.
