Dassault Leads $200 Million Harmattan AI Round to Embed Controlled Autonomy in Rafale F5 and UCAS

Overview

• Dassault Aviation will lead Harmattan AI’s $200 million Series B as the companies enter a strategic partnership.
• The collaboration targets embedded “controlled autonomy” for Dassault’s future combat systems, including Rafale F5 and UCAS for unmanned teaming.
• Proceeds will fund expansion of AI-enabled missions into new theaters, new product domains, and scaled manufacturing of ISR, drone-interception, and electronic-warfare platforms.
• Harmattan says it holds multiple Programs of Record with the French and UK defense ministries and reports high-volume deliveries of autonomous systems.
• Dassault brings system architecture, high-intensity mission integration, and global business development expertise, supporting a broader French–European sovereign AI effort alongside its Thales tie-up.
