It leverages data to offer a clear view of the situation, making use of the information, streamlining decision-making, and offering operational superiority. It offers an important solution for the digital transformation of naval operations
Eviden, the Atos Group products brand leader in cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and Vision AI, announces the launch of ASTRA-LAS (Tactical Assistant for Analysis and Action – Above-Water Warfare), a solution that facilitates the decision-making of officers and operators in complex naval environments.
ASTRA-LAS leverages the available operational data to offer surface naval warfare teams a clearer view of the tactical situation, automated analyses and recommendations tailored to each mission. In this way, it improves the use of information, reduces operators' cognitive load and streamlines decision-making.
ASTRA-LAS is the naval application of Codex, Atos' platform for operational decision-making in real time, recently presented.
Facing the new challenges of information superiority
Modern naval operations rely on an ever-increasing volume of data from multiple sensors and systems. In this context, being able to analyze and use that information quickly is essential to improve the analysis and response capacity in naval operations and thus achieve the so-called information and operational superiority.
ASTRA-LAS contributes to the digital transformation of naval operations, driven especially by the emergence of onboard data centers. These environments make it possible to collect and use operational data more quickly, putting data-based tools within the reach of operators and facilitating their decision-making.
Developed through an agile methodology and adapted to the operational needs of naval forces, ASTRA-LAS makes it possible to quickly incorporate new functionalities and updates during operations at sea. In addition, its analysis capability can be refined based on operational experience and user needs.
An ecosystem of innovation at the service of naval operations
Eviden has a technological partner ecosystem that helps expand ASTRA-LAS's capabilities and continuously adapt them to the tactical needs of naval forces.
The ASTRA-LAS solution integrates digital battle orders developed by Racine Group from open information sources (OSINT), as well as route optimization technologies based on artificial intelligence, developed by HawAI.tech.
Eviden's approach combines operational experience, data management capabilities, and technological innovation from SMEs and startups in the defense sector. Its objective is to offer capabilities that respond to the growing needs of naval forces in terms of information analysis and decision-making support.
"As the pace of operations accelerates and the number of information sources increases, naval forces need solutions capable of quickly turning data about the maritime situation into operational advantages. With ASTRA-LAS, Eviden applies its experience in data processing, advanced algorithms, and critical systems to contribute to this objective", affirms Bernard Payer, head of critical mission systems at Eviden, Atos Group.
ASTRA-LAS draws on Eviden's experience in defense systems integration and critical systems development. Its solutions make it possible to process information and ensure a secure and reliable decision-making chain through advanced decision-support technologies. With ASTRA-LAS, Eviden applies this experience to naval operations, combining operational data, tactical situation visualization, and algorithms adapted to each mission. In this way, it provides operators with useful information for action and helps them throughout the entire decision-making process.
