Helsing and General Dynamics detail AI for Bowman network to help double lethality

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.

Demonstrated at DVD 2024 at UTAC Millbrook in the UK in September, their work enabled enabled an Ajax reconnaissance vehicle to automatically detect, track and geolocate armoured vehicles
