• Dassault Aviation tested AI algorithms on the Rafale fighter jet.
• Two algorithms were tested, one developed in-house and one with Thales.
• The algorithms are part of a broader initiative to integrate AI in support of human crews.
• The technology may be eligible for future Rafale upgrades.

This development may indicate Dassault's growing focus on AI integration in combat aviation, which could enhance the Rafale's capabilities and potentially set a precedent for future fighter jet upgrades. The collaboration with Thales suggests a strengthening of partnerships in the European defense industry, which could lead to increased autonomy in defense technology.
