KI should coordinate entire drone swarms against Russia
Drones are becoming increasingly important for Ukraine in the defense fight against Russia. In order to be as effective as possible, technology companies there are heavily relying on Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has a decisive advantage in this.
In the fight against Russian invaders, Ukraine also relies on AI. With the help of this technology, relatively cheap combat and reconnaissance drones are supposed to operate in swarms and become immune to enemy counter-signals. Since the start of the war in early 2022, more than 200 technology companies have emerged from the ground that deal with this topic.
One of these startups is Swarmer. It develops software that, according to the company, brings together multiple drones into a largely autonomous swarm. A person only gives the attack signal, as manual control of more than five drones or robots at the same time is nearly impossible, explains Swarmer CEO Serhij Kuprijenko. An AI can, however, control hundreds of these machines. Swarmer's developed system directs a group of reconnaissance and combat drones to land and in the air. Each drone plans its actions independently and can anticipate the behavior of other swarm members.
