AI and autonomy in future defense
“What comes after next” – thoughts, technology and production of the next generation of combat aircraft systems. A polarized world, war in Europe, Sweden on its way to NATO, technological development at breakneck speed, technologies in the civil and military are blurring, AI and autonomy are seriously stepping into the field of defense. Peter Nilsson, former fighter pilot and head of the Gripen development unit in the Air Force, now head of Saab Aeronautics’ new business unit, Advanced Program, gives his insights into the future of combat aircraft.
