Dassault Aviation is testing two French sovereign AI systems in flight aboard a Rafale fighter jet, according to a report from Journal du Geek dated 28 September 2026. The trials, discussed on social media under defense-related tags, are being read as a step toward European technological independence in military aviation, letting France deploy homegrown artificial intelligence without relying on foreign providers.
Why now: Sovereign AI in a frontline French fighter touches on ongoing debates about European defense autonomy and technological independence.
