Delivering next generation AI-native tactical superiority
Turning Data into Decisions, Faster
In the modern battlespace, speed isn't just an advantage, it’s a requirement. When every second counts, the difference between mission success and failure lies in how fast you can turn trusted data into fair decisions, on time. Today, with Comand AI, we are redefining that speed. Our main effect : relieve officers of repetitive, low-value, time consuming tasks, ensuring they receive only trusted, essential data. With the support of Artificial Intelligence, the next generation of Command and Control systems will bring precise tactical conclusions based on the terrain.
1. Airbus: Pioneer in Command & Control (C2) Systems
Since the 1990s, Airbus has been a key player in the development of operational information systems. We understand that a modern C2 system must do more than display positions; it must help analyse missions, exploit intelligence, and manage complex activities in 3D.
Fortion® Tactical C2 was developed to meet these demands. It is a sovereign, highly customisable tool designed for the realities of the field:
- Interoperability: Built on an open architecture, and capacity integrator, it is fully compatible with French and NATO standards
- Efficiency: Designed for Internet Protocol (IP), it provides high-level functionality without excessive bandwidth consumption
- Versatility: It operates seamlessly across various hardware, from laptops to mobile devices, supporting both stand-alone and connected modes, whether embarked or disembarked
- Customisable: Simple and intuitive, it allows every user to customise their interface and activity zone with low formation
- 3D Unified Battlefield Vision: Helping to reduce radio traffic and facilitating "command by intention," it accelerates the sensor-to-effector chain
- Operational Lifecycle: Supports the full mission cycle, from initial planning to real-time execution via an integrated tactical messaging and command system.
2. A Strategic Partnership: Airbus and Comand AI
The emergence of autonomous systems and rapid algorithmic decision-making requires a new approach to defense technology. To address these challenges, Airbus Defence and Space has entered into a strategic partnership with Comand AI, a European startup born from the operational realities of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.
This collaboration is designed to merge two distinct but complementary concepts: the industrial scale and mission-critical reliability of Airbus, with the AI-native agility of Comand AI. By integrating the Prevail platform into the Airbus ecosystem, the partnership aims to provide forces with the capability to transform massive battlefield data volumes into actionable decisions. The objective is to ensure that the entire chain of command maintains situational awareness and can execute complex manoeuvres, even under severe time and resource constraints, by effectively shortening the OODA loop.
3. AI: a support for decision-making
The partnership focuses on delivering AI-assisted military planning tools that transform overwhelming data streams into clear, actionable insights.
At the core of this technological evolution is a fundamental principle: AI handles analysis, not authority.
We are committed to providing human-centred, AI-supported solutions where the machine serves the operator. We believe that while AI can identify patterns, predict outcomes and use all gathered trusted data to propose the most adapted solution for the given situation, the ultimate responsibility for tactical and strategic decisions must remain in human hands.
This approach ensures that every manoeuvre is guided by human judgment, ethics, and intent. Our goal is to provide forces with a decisive edge not through autonomous replacement, but through enhanced cognitive capabilities.
4. The Evolution of Command: Challenges and the Path Ahead
As we look toward the future of warfare, the very concept of a "Command Post" is undergoing a radical transformation. We will be moving away from centralized, physical hubs to a distributed C2 to ensure survivability in a transparent battlespace.
This shift demands a new operational philosophy. The bottleneck is no longer the acquisition of data, but the time of analyzing it to reach a decision. To solve this, we must embrace a hybrid model of innovation. The future of C2 requires the agility of startups working closely with historic industrial players, and co-developing directly with governmental agencies. This means moving beyond traditional development cycles, working "field-to-code" where developers work alongside operators in real-time to evolve software as quickly as the battlefield changes. This evolution must also be built on a foundation of strategic sovereignty, ensuring nations maintain control over their critical assets, while simultaneously mastering interoperability to operate seamlessly within multi-national coalitions.
The boundaries of intelligence are expanding. This ecosystem will increasingly rely on non-traditional sources, including civilian data streams, to build the common operational picture.
We must also be ready for a multi-domain reality, integrating land, air, and maritime assets into a single, unified Command & Control system. With this partnership, we are one step closer to that reality.
