ASGARD aims to reinvent how land forces deliver operational decision support and decision making software through AI/ML enabled applications to shorten decision timelines. DDAD is the framework through which these capabilities will be procured and delivered.
To support the project, Plextek brings proven capabilities in electronic warfare, radar, radio communications and navigation, combined with deep expertise in generative AI and machine learning. This means the company can rapidly prototype, test and spiral develop solutions that address real operational problems.
Brent Hudson, CEO, Plextek commented, "ASGARD addresses a fundamental operational challenge: getting the right information to decision-makers faster. Our capabilities in EW, radar, communications and AI mean we can rapidly prototype and test solutions against real battlefield requirements.”
Through the project, it will be working as a UK-sovereign SME supply chain with two specialist partners:
Teleplan Forsberg, a trusted centre of excellence for Position, Navigation & Timing and situational awareness, specialising in Battlefield Management Systems and mission planning. They build assured, resilient solutions for mission-critical operators.
Nexor, a provider of capabilities across the Digital Targeting Web, cyber security, data fusion, and secure data transport. Their technology connects defence systems securely and makes them interoperable.
Plextek brings agility and pace to defence innovation including rapidly developing, integrating, and fielding new disruptive technologies alongside proven in service systems to deliver operational advantage through pace of decision making.
