The company said both functions have reached a level of maturity that makes them eligible for future Rafale upgrades. The broader programme is intended to introduce AI into the cockpit in support of the human crew rather than replace it.
Dassault said the flight trials demonstrated its ability to integrate artificial intelligence into combat systems under the constraints of military aviation. That work requires access to reliable operational data, whether real or simulated, as well as the ability to combine domain expertise effectively.
The company also cited the need to optimise resource efficiency on embedded platforms subject to stringent operating constraints. Dassault said those requirements draw on its long-standing role as an industrial architect and integrator of complex systems.
Dassault Aviation has delivered more than 10,000 military and civil aircraft, including 2,800 Falcon business jets, in more than 90 countries over the past 110 years. The company employed about 15,000 people in 2025 and reported revenue of €7.4 billion.
