Comand AI Embed In The UK Defence Ahead Of DSEI 2025

The pan-European start-up Comand AI is expanding its footprint in London after its flagship platform, Prevail, hit the ground running on the continent with the French Army, German Bundeswehr, and with another ongoing project in Ukraine.

It is a natural next step for an organisation bringing generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to military planning – a priority enshrined in the UK's Strategic Defence Review, in which the trio of authors recommended that autonomy complement the 'heavy metal' of tanks and artillery.

Combine business intelligence and editorial excellence to reach engaged professionals across 36 leading media platforms.

Paul Billings, vice president of the emerging UK entity, delivered an exclusive demo of Prevail for Army Technology at its office in London ahead of the leading UK defence exhibition, DSEI , where the start-up will dwell within the French pavillion, having been founded in Paris by defence expert Loïc Mougeolle just two years ago.

Ultimately, Prevail is a GenAI platform composed of two integrated components: Plans and Lessons. Together, they speed up and inform tactical decisions, allowing command and control (C2) to act faster in the mission planning stage, creating a smoother tempo on the battlefield with more time to focus on other military actions.

Prevail processes the receipt of orders brief after which the GenAI tool helps personnel analyse missions, evaluate terrain, assess threats, and generate viable courses of action.

The tool utilises data from open street maps and low latency satellite pictures. This could extend to data gathered from disaggregated sensor nodes on the ground but this depends on user requirements.

In the end, the platform allows decision-makers to wargame options under different criteria, such as logistics, flexibility, or C2.

Don't let policy changes catch you off guard. Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis.

"This work would normally be done in 2025 with a sheet of plastic over a map [jotted by] humans with felt tip pens," Billings said as he parsed through an AI-generated timeline of overlapping tactical actions among different military units for a fictional scenario across the complex, forested terrain south of the city of Chornobyl.
