Farnborough International Airshow Stand 1018, Farnborough UK – 20 July 2026 – Smith Myers Communications Ltd., the world’s first fully airborne-qualified Mobile Phone Detection and Location System (MPDLS) provider, today announced the introduction of ARTEMIS AI, a powerful new artificial intelligence capability for the ARTEMIS product family. Designed specifically for mission-critical environments, ARTEMIS AI will deliver secure, embedded intelligence directly at the operational edge, helping operators make faster, smarter decisions while reducing workload and complexity.
Unlike conventional AI solutions that rely on cloud connectivity, ARTEMIS AI will operate entirely within a fully closed system, using an onboard Large Language Model (LLM) that requires no internet, cloud, or third-party connections. This architecture ensures complete data sovereignty, operational security, and reliability, even in disconnected or contested environments.
“ARTEMIS AI represents the next evolution of operational capability,” said Andrew Munro, Managing Director of Smith Myers. “By embedding intelligent decision support directly into the ARTEMIS platform, we are enabling operators to achieve more with less effort, while maintaining complete control of the system at all times.”
ARTEMIS AI will act as an intelligent operational assistant, providing natural language interaction, automated system optimisation, real-time mission support, health monitoring, mission planning assistance, and post-mission analysis. Operators can configure complex missions using simple conversational commands, allowing the system to automatically optimise parameters based on mission requirements, historical performance, and environmental conditions.
During operations, ARTEMIS AI will be able to continuously support operators by identifying anomalies, highlighting potential threats or opportunities, recommending actions, and providing safeguards against ineffective decisions. The system will also have the capability to monitor hardware and software performance, automatically address certain faults, and offer clear troubleshooting guidance when intervention is required.
Following mission completion, ARTEMIS AI automatically generates reports, charts, briefings, and after-action reviews, enabling organisations to extract valuable operational insights and drive continuous improvement.
“ARTEMIS AI has been developed with a clear philosophy: artificial intelligence should enhance human performance, not replace it, said Munro. The system is designed to work alongside operators, providing actionable insights and intelligent assistance while ensuring human decision-makers remain firmly in control.”
