Data Machine Intelligence

At last week’s ILA trade fair, Data Machine Intelligence joined the ranks of Germany’s top aerospace and defense companies. As a member of the Military Support Center, our co-founder Max Najork was invited to open the fair alongside Chancellor Olaf Scholz and industry leaders.

Back from the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Flight Simulation Conference, where the UK’s aerospace network showed up strong. It was exciting to see fresh ideas in modeling, simulation, and AI - so much great work moving the field forward. A key message throughout all presentations: modeling and simulation are becoming a new superpower for developing, training, and updating AI functions. Through modeling and simulation, we can train AI functions, immediately integrate and verify them, and then directly exercise them with the operator for training. This approach accelerates the update cycle truly from end to end. In our talk on the second conference day “Evolving Flight Training Environments and AI in the Cockpit,”  Pau and I highlighted how our tools get aerospace systems ready for the AI enabled future and prepare operators to make real-time decisions safely and confidently in collaboration with AI. Thanks to the Royal Aeronautical Society, the inspiring speakers and everyone who joined for a great conference: Andy Fawkes, Robert McGeachy, Torvald Mårtensson, Fabian Reinisch, John Goodby, Wouter Hollenga, Chris Hunter, Allyson Kukel MRAeS and many more Looking forward to where these ideas take us next. #FlightSimulation #AerospaceInnovation #AI #ModelingSimulation #FutureOfFlight #MS #RL #ML #XAI #SafeAI

How does flight training need to evolve in the age of AI to help pilots build trust into the new systems? Our very own Max Najork and Pau Garcia Sanz will be speaking about this next week in London at the Flight Simulation Conference of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Are you attending or generally interested to learn more? Meet our colleagues there or reach out directly.

Last week, our Co-Founder Max Najork spoke at AIRTEC | 22-24 OCT 2025 | MESSE AUGSBURG. In his recap he shares the key insights he presented at the conference.

Europe has fallen behind, and we can all see it. The reasons? There are many. But what matters to me isn’t talking about problems - it’s taking action. I’ve never been someone who just sits back and mourns the challenges. At Data Machine Intelligence, we believe that waiting for governments to act won’t get us anywhere. The aerospace industry - and the AI innovators within it - can and need to take the lead right now. Europe has an incredible opportunity in Safe AI. In critical environments like autonomous planes or self-driving cars, trust is everything. I believe Europe is in a unique position to combine cutting-edge AI innovation with robust safety and ethics. This is a huge advantage, and we can’t afford to waste it. At my company, we’ve made it our mission to actively push this forward. Our platform enables safe, certifiable AI and makes it accessible to everyone. We’re not waiting around - we’re driving the change that will shape Europe’s AI future. My message is simple: Governments, listen to Draghi and do your part. But to the rest of us in the industry: Don’t wait. We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to lead - let’s make the most of it. #Draghi #Draghireport #AI #safeAI #aerospace #innovation

This represents a significant shift from the traditional aviation focus on achieving the highest quality and reliability, often at substantial cost. But what if these expendable assets could also be smart, capable of being controlled in swarms? Such advancements could fundamentally reshape strategic advantages. However, making this vision a reality requires that the tools to develop intelligent systems are available at scale and at a low cost. Scalable software infrastructure is THE cornerstone of making smart expendable assets possible. To build such capabilities, we need a new approach - one that emphasizes simplicity, scalability, and rapid updates. By minimizing the cost of "intelligence" features, we can mass-produce these assets, delivering effective solutions without sacrificing essential performance. At Data Machine Intelligence, we’re working exactly on this. With our tools, we enable the rapid construction of complex scenarios, the virtual integration of assets, the training of autonomy, and the assessment of system-of-systems performance. These capabilities are crucial for turning the concepts into practical solutions. The accompanying visual is an example of a MUM-T mission built with our mission builder, designed for quick setup, training, and assessment of integrated AI systems. With our tools, developing and deploying these systems efficiently and at scale is now a reality. We invite you to share your experiences. What previously unavailable new technologies have you seen become possible thanks to scalable software solutions? Let’s discuss how we can better balance cost, reliability, and innovation in the face of emerging challenges. #ai #xai #explainableai #ml #rl #uav #uas #mumt #hat #autonomy

As Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, highlights, software updates are now a daily routine on the battlefield. Imagine the impact this speed could have in aviation. But our current development cycles in aviation are far from this. Right now, systems are designed top-down, on paper, and integrated only at the very end of the process. This approach leads to lengthy revisions, high costs, and missed opportunities, putting competitiveness at serious risk. We need to move beyond traditional approaches and accelerate development to stay ahead. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲? ⏩ System-of-Systems Simulation: Test and optimize configurations early with large-scale simulations, reducing costly late-stage changes. ⏩ Continuous Integration: Collect certification evidence as you develop, speeding up the process and eliminating delays. ⏩ Digital Twins: Continuously update your systems, ensuring that new technology is operational faster, giving you a competitive edge. At Data Machine Intelligence, we are committed to driving this change. Our tools are designed to accelerate development, reduce time-to-market, and ensure that your innovations are not just on the drawing board, but in the air where they belong.
