The Toronto-based firm has signed an agreement to develop technology for the Swedish defence contractor’s GlobalEye early-warning surveillance system, which is built into Bombardier jets. The AI tools could be used for data analysis and maintenance applications, as well as to help process information inflight. (The Logic)
Talking point: Cohere has become a go-to partner for defence primes bidding for Canada’s business, which typically comes with domestic spending and supplier obligations. The agreement with Saab takes the AI model builder into a new defence domain in aerospace. It’s already afloat in the marine arena, after signing similar deals with Thales for patrol ships, as well as Hanwha and TKMS, which are competing to sell submarines to the Canadian navy. The Bombardier-Saab consortium was also interested in a big federal contract, but in November 2023 Ottawa picked Boeing’s P-8A reconnaissance plane over the GlobalEye as it tried to keep Washington happy. Saab said its deal with Cohere is “directly connected to the GlobalEye opportunity in Canada,” but could still use the technology for planes sold to other countries.
