US company’s AI lets Ukraine’s cheap kamikaze drones track targets on their own
摘要
美国公司Auterion开发的AI系统使乌克兰低成本“伯劳”无人机能够自主追踪并锁定移动目标。乌克兰军方7月中旬开始接收由SkyFall公司制造、配备该AI系统的无人机,计划未来数月内交付5万架。操作员可手动将无人机飞至战场区域,在约800米外指定目标后切换至“发射后不管”模式,由AI完成末端制导。
Ukrainian drone operators have destroyed many Russian armored vehicles on the ground and even military helicopters in midair using $400 Shrike drones with explosive payloads. Now thousands of such drones are getting upgraded with an AI system capable of autonomously tracking and homing in on moving targets.
In mid-July, the Ukrainian military began receiving Shrike drones made by the Ukrainian company SkyFall equipped with AI-powered autonomy hardware and software developed by the US company Auterion. The companies plan to deliver 50,000 drones equipped with Auterion’s Skynode S strike kits in the coming months.
That allows human operators to manually fly the Shrike first-person view (FPV) drones into a battlefield area, designate a target up to half a mile away and then “flip the switch to turn it into fire-and-forget terminal guidance mode,” Lorenz Meier, co-founder and CEO of Auterion, told Ars.
