What’s Next? by Thales

This podcast features Nick Ernest, the North American Expert on AI for Thales, discussing Thales’ unique approach to artificial intelligence, why it’s significantly different from other forms of AI on the market and how it can safely enhance the performance of U.S. military helicopter crews operating on tomorrow’s battlefield.
The U.S. military is counting on this futuristic technology to play a significant role in its modernization efforts and enhance its effectiveness in potential conflicts.

The 10-minute podcast features Paul Kobos (Banking Solutions Expert) talking about the Thales’ eco-friendly banking card effort – a global program aimed at drastically reducing the amount of harmful plastics used in standard payment cards from polluting the world’s oceans.

In this episode Franco Fenoglio, Head of Human Planetary Exploration at Thales Alenia Space, describes the specialized living quarters that Thales Alenia Space is designing for astronauts of the Artemis mission – NASA’s official return to lunar exploration after the Apollo Mission ended more than five decades ago.

These pressurized habitat modules will be a vital part of the Artemis mission’s Lunar Gateway, which will serve as an outpost orbiting the Moon to support sustainable, long-term human life on the lunar surface, as well as a staging point for deep space exploration.

In this episode, we talk to Mark Bock Mark, former U.S. Navy captain and Vice President for Strategy at Advanced Acoustic Concepts (AAC) talks about how Thales and AAC are helping the Navy become more efficient at hunting enemy submarines.
