Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Elastic
Application
An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.
GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.
Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.
Platform
A conversational assistant embedded in Kibana that answers natural-language questions against a customer's own indexed data across Elastic's Observability, Security and Search solutions.
Helsing
Application
AI for electronic warfare that classifies and reads intent of unknown (software-defined) anti-aircraft radar emitters in real time, onboard combat aircraft (Cirra Onboard) and via offline analysis (Cirra Ground Station).
Platform
Reconnaissance-strike software that plans missions and directs Helsing's uncrewed systems.
No counterpart
Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Helsing yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.
An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
Model API
Hosted inference endpoint that runs Elastic-managed LLMs, the ELSER sparse-embedding model and third-party embedding models for ingest, search and chat without provisioning ML nodes in a customer's own Elasticsearch deployment.
Helsing sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
AI pilot integrated into fighter-aircraft cockpits, using reinforcement learning for autonomous air-combat decision-making and tactical execution; flight-tested on the Saab Gripen E.
Infrastructure service
Underwater-surveillance AI software platform built on a large acoustic model (LAM), providing real-time detection and classification at the edge for SG-1 Fathom swarms; open system for allied-platform interoperability.
Hardware
Mass-manufacturable subsurface glider for underwater surveillance, deployable in swarms to patrol vast underwater areas, operating at depth throughout the water column.
Robot
Autonomous fighter aircraft in the three-to-five tonne class, under development with Grob Aircraft.
Electrically propelled strike drone with on-board autonomy that continues to operate without a data link.
