The DIALOG consortium is in Salon-de-Provence this week for a hands-on session at the ONERA (The French Aerospace Lab) facilities.
With the Operational Validation phase scheduled for March, these “Dry Runs” represent the final technical checkpoint. The team is currently on-site to verify that the AI Teamwork Assistant prototypes are fully aligned with the technical requirements before being deployed with end-users.
From Integration to Execution
Following the initial system integration and connectivity checks, the team has now transitioned into the active testing phase. The priority for the coming days is verifying the platform’s stability under simulated operational conditions. This technical groundwork is strictly necessary to guarantee a smooth experience for the Air Traffic Controllers who will participate in the validation exercises next month.
Next Steps
With the hardware and software environment now fully established, the focus shifts to running the validation scenarios. Alongside the technical work, the team is documenting the process to provide the community with insights into how the solution is built and validated in a real-world environment.
