Integrating with Thales’ Panoramic Above Armour Gimbal (PAAG), attendees can experience, for the first time in the UK and at an open event, the power of DigitalCrew live from the show.
 
Developed by Thales in the UK, DigitalCrew is an advanced suite of conventional and AI-powered algorithms, designed to assist vehicle crews by automating some critical sensory functions.

Thales emphasises that this is a transformative solution which reduces cognitive burden with a virtual assistant, redefining situational awareness in armoured vehicles.
 
DigitalCrew is sensor and platform agnostic, with key features including:

  • Object Tracking
  • Object Detection
  • Video Combination
  • Mission Support Tools
  • Object Classification
  • Turbulence Correction

Stewart Macpherson, Head of Digital Strategy Thales OME, said: “DigitalCrew represents a leap forward in how vehicle crews will operate in the most high-stakes environments.

"DigitalCrew is the virtual assistant users need to deliver a battle-winning advantage at the edge.”
