The General Directorate of Armaments awards the Tornado contract to the Preligens scale up - Actu IA

The French defense procurement agency (DGA) has awarded Preligens a seven-year contract worth around €240 million. Named TORNADE (Traitement Optique et Radar par Neurones Artificiels via Détecteurs), it involves the acquisition of software licenses for AI solutions for processing and exploiting large amounts of data, and will benefit in particular the Ministry of Defence's joint intelligence function. Today, there is a huge amount of data coming from sensors, spy satellites, commercial satellites, drones or airplanes, and humans are struggling to process it quickly enough to enable authorities to make the right decisions quickly. The current geopolitical context shows how crucial it is for governments and military ministries to be reactive and the importance of satellite images. Preligens' AI image processing technology fully meets these needs.
