(all less than 5%). | BAE Systems led the consortium for the DSTL programme 'Autonomous Systems Underpinning Research' from 2013-2016. BAE Systems has undertaken research into a variety of unmanned autonomous drones over the last 20 years, culminating in the Taranis autonomous demonstrator drone. BAE Systems is a key member of TeamTempest, the international consortium which is designing the UK's next generation combat aircraft. Tempest will draw on advanced AI and autonomous technology developed during the Taranis programme. Tempest is planned to operate alongside the autonomous Lightweight Affordable Novel Combat Aircraft (LANCA) – a swarm of smaller drones which will accompany the larger aircraft. (It is not clear whether BAE is involved in development of LANCA). BAE Systems is also working with Cranfield University to develop the concept of autonomous 'Adaptable UAVs' that will be capable of both fixed and rotary wing flight. In the USA BAE has worked with DARPA and IARPA on the development of AI systems for cyber defence, analysis of digital intelligence, 'cognitive electronic warfare', and wide area persistent surveillance. BAE has an AI lab in the UK at Great Baddow near Chelmsford which works on radar and radio-based AI applications among a range of areas. In November 2020 BAE acquired space at the Georgia Cyber Center in the USA, a public/private partnership involving the US Army and defence contractors, for research work on research and development in cyber, information technology, and advanced analytics. BAE Systems Applied Intelligence is a wholly-owned subsidiary company specialising in cyber security, detection and prevention of financial crime, communications intelligence, and 'digital transformation'. The subsidiary is based in Guildford and was formed when BAE took over the IT company Detica.Group plc in 2008. In the USA BAE Systems is providing funding to innovative start-ups through its 'FAST Labs' programme so as to be able to draw on their technology. Much of this work is on AI and autonomous technology. BAE Systems has recently purchased a navigation, sensor systems, and GPS business from Collins Aerospace and is developing AI software for GEOINT fusion, including recently developed GPX Fusion geospatial intelligence analysis software. | Weapons systems | Systems integration | Military electronics | ||||||||||||
