Nomad is Babcock’s first fully AI-powered product that can clean, transcribe, translate, and analyse voice and text data, providing real-time intelligence directly to users in communications denied environments.
Nomad addresses one of the biggest challenges we face globally in the race to keep up with disruptive technologies like AI - the ability to extract, analyse and understand data intelligence in seconds anywhere in the world, across any domain.
Globally there is shortage of linguists and analysts that can do this. On the battlefield where every second counts Nomad can provide valuable intelligence in real-time.
How does it work?
Nomad has been developed by Babcock with a unique ability to bring together multiple AI technologies and can be customised to bespoke end user needs. This includes providing advanced communications intelligence at the tactical edge, operating completely independently from any external AI services.
Mission Systems CEO, Neal Misell, described Nomad as a product that will “break boundaries” for UK defence.
“Nomad can give end-users the ability to make critical decisions where every second counts and lives are at risk – even when they are cut off from a command and control centre.
“We have created a product, which can give any operator vital intelligence in real time, where and when they need it.
“Creating Nomad has meant investing in and building, a rapid AI development team, and deepening our footprint in AI along with the specialist skills we need in that space.”
In June, Babcock was one of a number of companies that joined the first UK Sovereign AI Industry Forum established by NVIDIA, with the aim of strengthening the nation’s economic security by advancing sovereign AI infrastructure and accelerating the growth of the UK’s AI startup ecosystem.
