Safran and UAE institute join forces on AI geospatial intelligence
Advanced geospatial reasoning in Safran’s agentic AI systems will allow operators to respond to situations faster and more accurately.
Safran.AI, the AI division of Safran Electronics & Defence, and the UAE’s Technology Innovation Institute have formed a strategic partnership to develop a next-generation agentic AI geospatial intelligence platform.
The collaboration aims to transform high-resolution satellite imagery into actionable intelligence for defence operations.
The platform will combine human oversight with advanced geospatial reasoning, enabling operators to interpret and respond to emerging situations faster and with greater precision.
Key initiatives include agentic reasoning systems powered by large language models, a mission-specific AI detector factory, and an autonomous multimodal fusion engine for persistent, all-weather monitoring.
Under the agreement, a joint team operating across France and the UAE will accelerate innovation within a unified operational structure.
Leaders from both organisations emphasise that the alliance strengthens sovereign geospatial intelligence capabilities and lays the foundations for decision intelligence in national security.
