Helsing UK and General Dynamics have been attempting to enhance the British Army's battlefield intelligence and decision-making by supporting its goal of doubling combat effectiveness by 2027.

Helsing UK and General Dynamics (GD) have paired Helsing’s Altra artificial intelligence (AI) stack with GD’s Bowman radio network onboard the Ajax armoured reconnaissance vehicle in an ambitious bid to demonstrate the role that AI can play in doubling the UK’s lethality.

The The Helsing-GD trial was conducted over the past nine months. It added the Altra AI capability to the Bowman radio network which is the cornerstone of the British Army’s deployed communications network.
