AI-Backbone for FCAS Declared Operational

Tarih: Issue 133 - August 2024

The HIS consortium and partners provide BAAINBw and industry with a cross-sectional AI development platform for FCAS (AI-backbone) just nine months after contract start. The HIS consortium reached a critical milestone with the first release of the AI-backbone in just nine months. The HIS consortium consists of Helsing GmbH and Schönhofer Sales and Engineering GmbH (SSE), a 100% subsidiary of Rohde & Schwarz GmbH and Co. KG. As a software platform for the comprehensible and high-performance development of artificial intelligence (AI), the AI-backbone is a crucial component for the Future Combat Air System (FCAS). In the German initiative “National Research and Technology (R&T) Project NGWS,” the cross-sectional platform is already being used by over 50 pilot users from a total of ten organizations for the development of future-oriented technologies.

The AI-Backbone is the first software platform that enables collaborative AI workflows across organizations in the military sector. As a customer-side solution, the platform ensures standardized procedures and open, interoperable architectures. In doing so, it overcomes the status quo, which consists of highly manual and fragmented processes with numerous interfaces. The AI-backbone now creates a standardized path to military AI through a centralized platform that ensures the data security and sovereignty of every user. Additionally, the software development kit's open architecture and transparent deployment provide seamless integration that increases flexibility and efficiency across the MiLOps workflow.
