The AI kit, developed with the aim of operational ease and efficiency, enables instant operational information gathering for FNSS vehicles. This kit allows operators to quickly and accurately receive information regarding vehicle status, weather inquiries, and failure notifications with AI support. Integrated with the PARS SCOUT and presented to visitors, this kit also enables accurate data retrieval by asking questions related to military operations the vehicle participated in.
By further advancing AI integration, FNSS plans to develop systems capable of image processing and controlling other connected vehicles, which will enable FNSS vehicles to possess more integrated and effective operational capacity in the future.
The „Product Info AI“ developed inhouse by FNSS will also be available at the stand, allowing visitors to obtain information about the vehicles. This system, providing detailed information about FNSS and its products in over 10 languages, enables users to quickly and effectively access information on FNSS products through touchscreens or voice commands.
FNSS’s artificial intelligence initiatives are based on a visionary approach designed to not only integrate with existing systems but also to be further strengthened with future AI developments.
At the Integrated Logistics Support desk at the FNSS stand, the „FNSS Support Assistant“ powered by AI-assisted VR technology, and the „Training and Maintenance Module“ powered by VR technology will be exhibited.
