Product Development

Saint-Cloud – November 08, 2026 -- Dassault Aviation has flight-tested two new sovereign artificial intelligence algorithms on the Rafale fighter, and both have matured enough to qualify for upcoming Rafale upgrades.

Dassault and Thales/cortAIx split development of the two algorithms

Dassault's own engineers developed the first algorithm. The second was built in collaboration with Thales/cortAIx.

Dassault describes the work as part of a broader effort to put controlled, supervised AI in the cockpit in support of the human crew. The company says the flights again demonstrate its ability to integrate AI into combat systems.

WENZHOU – November 06, 2026 -- Erayak Power Solution Group (Nasdaq: RAYA) said the new Ruike Electronics (Wenzhou) facility has entered final construction acceptance. The energy storage portion carries a planned annual design capacity of 150 MWh, and the company's 16 kW tri-fuel inverter generator is approaching pilot production.

Ruike facility adds capacity, with phased start-up through Q4 2027

The Ruike facility adds to ERAYAK's manufacturing footprint and does not replace existing capacity. The company expects acceptance of all main buildings to be completed in the first quarter of 2027. Production on relevant lines is planned to start in phases from the fourth quarter of 2026 through the fourth quarter of 2027, subject to acceptance results, equipment commissioning and product introduction schedules.

GARDENA, Calif. – October 31, 2026 -- Toyota has demonstrated that its fuel cell heavy-duty trucks can be refueled in about eight minutes for a range of up to 450 miles, with production trucks expected on the road for commercial operations in 2027.

The tests were run with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) in Golden, Colorado. They followed the SAE J2601-5 standard and covered 70 MPa high-flow hydrogen fueling. Toyota and NLR engineers performed multiple rounds of testing.

High-flow fueling reaches 300 g/s, about five times the light-duty rate

High-flow fueling delivers hydrogen at up to 300 g/s. Toyota says this is about five times faster than conventional light-duty fueling and equivalent to the energy transfer speed of a 20 MW fast charger. Toyota says refueling times are comparable to modern diesel-powered heavy-duty trucks.

Irvine – October 29, 2026 -- SBC Medical Group Holdings (Nasdaq: SBC) has begun in-house development of a DNA methylation test to estimate biological age, entering a longevity market that Report Ocean projects will grow from about $800 billion in 2025 to about $2 trillion by 2035.

SBC AI Longevity Innovation leads development on the Waqoo Group research base

The Medical Services Organization has assigned the project to its subsidiary SBC AI Longevity Innovation, Inc. The unit will draw on the regenerative medicine research of Waqoo, Inc. (TSE: 4937), a consolidated SBC Medical subsidiary, and Waqoo's subsidiary Cell Pro Japan Co., Ltd.

SBC Medical will pair that molecular research with its clinic operations infrastructure and customer experience know-how from its core MSO business. The company says objective, repeatable ways to track the body's internal condition over time remain limited.

STOCKHOLM – October 29, 2026 -- Saab and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) have flight tested an unmanned airborne early warning (AEW) capability, integrating Saab's LoyalEye AEW radar with the MQ-9B remotely piloted aircraft system, five months after the system's first flight in May 2026.

Flight test validates detection, tracking and classification of airborne targets

The test took place at GA-ASI's Desert Horizon Flight Operations Facility in Southern California. It validated the integrated system's ability to detect, track and classify airborne targets from an unmanned platform. Stakeholders attended and watched the capability in real time within a representative operational scenario.

The flight is part of an evaluation programme that began with the first flight in May 2026.

Boone, N.C. – September 27, 2026 -- Fuse Oncology plans to demonstrate a potential integration linking GE HealthCare's Intelligent Radiation Therapy (iRT) software to its S!GNAL charge capture platform at the ASTRO 2026 Annual Meeting, running September 27-29 in Boston at booth 2533.

Concept links radiation therapy workflow software directly to charge review

The showcased workflow would allow iRT to launch S!GNAL using existing patient information, giving radiation oncology teams a direct path from treatment coordination to targeted charge review without re-entering data across systems. The capability is described as planned for a future iRT release and is currently in development and evaluation, with no confirmed commercial availability date.
