For over a century, Thales in the UK has been driving the creation of some of the UK’s most advanced and innovative technologies. For the last decade, this has meant carefully integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into existing systems and exploring the possibilities for AI as we face the challenges of the future.

At the core of Thales's AI innovation is CortAIx, our global AI accelerator. The CortAIx centre in the UK brings together cutting-edge technology, skilled talent, and advanced research. Thales leverages its deep expertise in defence and security to create AI solutions specifically designed to meet the UK’s operational needs - from the edge to the cloud. We are committed to developing AI responsibly, prioritising transparency and human-centric design, to ensure that AI systems enhance human decision-making without replacing it.

CortAIx in the UK will focus on:

AI is already widely embedded across our product and service portfolio at Thales, but we want to take it further. Our global AI accelerator is set to support the integration of AI throughout the product development lifecycle across all our sectors.

Our AI technologies are actively enhancing operational capabilities:

Mission support The Multi-Domain Mission Support System (MD MSS) utilises AI to process complex datasets rapidly, providing critical situational awareness and aiding mission planning and execution.

Autonomous mine countermeasures AI-driven analysis of sonar images enables real-time localisation of mine-like objects, increasing coverage rates and accuracy in maritime operations.

Preparing for the future Hybrid threats. Multi-domain operations. Cognitive overload. Advanced technology brings new challenges, so we’re developing AI building blocks with multiple applications to get ahead. From enhanced decision support across mission planning, execution and analysis, to object detection, tracking and labelling, we’re empowering users to out-think and out-manoeuvre the adversary, now and in the future.

Superior decisioning with the human-machine team We believe that technology should always be designed with the human experience in mind. Leveraging our expertise in Human Factors, we take into account both physical and mental capabilities—especially in high-stress situations. We then develop AI-powered systems that augment, accelerate, and enhance decision-making, from the edge to the cloud.
