Le Bourget, 19 June 2025 – Aerodata AG and Data Machine Intelligence (DMI) have agreed on a long-term strategic partnership. The aim of the collaboration is the joint development, market launch and continuous advancement of AI-supported products for the aviation industry. The partnership marks a decisive milestone for both companies: Aerodata will accelerate further integration into its proven product portfolio, while DMI will establish its ‘DMI Labs’ software platform as a key technology for AI transformation in the aviation sector.
The partners have unveiled a demonstrator of their first joint product prototype at the Paris Air Show, which represents a significant upgrade for Aerodata’s AeroMission® mission management system. Thanks to AI-supported sensor technology and intelligent data fusion, the system automatically detects and classifies ships in real time. The reduction in operator workload and simultaneous increase in system performance underscore the disruptive potential of the integrated AI technology. The classification system is the first application of Aerodata's new integrated process with DMI Labs, which enables system development in just a few months. With the signing of the cooperation agreement, both companies will now focus on the joint further development of the prototype and the development of further product upgrades.
“This partnership takes our vision to the next level,“ said Pau Garcia Sanz, CTO of DMI. “Together, we are demonstrating how AI is not only redefining efficiency and accuracy in safety-critical aviation applications, but also how new processes and innovative infrastructure are enabling unprecedented speeds in development and updating. In Aerodata, we have found an experienced and innovative partner who is leading the way and with whom we can impressively demonstrate the capabilities of our DMI Labs platform."
“The integration of AI into our systems is a decisive step in our technological development,“ explains Dr. Thomas Krüger, Director of Business Development, Strategy & Technology at Aerodata. “With DMI, we have an established partner at our side who understands the high demands of the aerospace and defence industry and meets them with state-of-the-art technology.“
The AI prototype integrated into AeroMission® can still be tested at the Paris Air Show until 22 June and is now available for demonstrations on request.
