UK aerospace companies and the Ministry of Defence have conducted research with AI scientists to support the development of software for a next-generation fighter jet.
Tempest will be part of the UK’s future combat air system (FCAS), and is designed to be a supersonic stealth fighter equipped with pioneering capabilities.
The project is being worked on in collaboration with Outsmart Insight, a deep tech intelligence company, and Oxford Creativity, a research group including scientists, engineers and academia.
