It is a fantastic opportunity to bring our Rail and Defence capabilities together, combining experience in safety-critical systems, vision technology, ruggedised electronics, cyber security and intelligent edge processing to create a new generation of vision products for Defence.<\/p>\n
\u201cAI-enabled capability is becoming an increasingly important part of our technology roadmap. In Rail, we are looking at how intelligent functionality can be layered onto our established product portfolio to provide added insight and advisory capability without compromising the proven systems at its core. We are now approaching live trials of that capability, which is an exciting next step.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see significant opportunity in bringing our engineering teams closer together, particularly as technologies such as intelligent vision, edge processing and AI create new possibilities for both Rail and Defence. David\u2019s expanded role will help ensure those opportunities remain firmly focused on customer and operational requirements while supporting the continued growth of the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
