Neural networks will be used in electronic warfare (EW) systems on drones in the near future. This will help to recognize objects and move from flying along a predetermined route to autonomously performing tasks. This was announced by the Chief of the Electronic Warfare Troops of Russia, Yuri Lastochkin.
According to him, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) will allow for quick and efficient selection of interference parameters to suppress enemy EW systems. AI technologies will also help drones operate as a self-organizing group (drone swarm).
Lastochkin emphasized that AI will take the processes of managing EW forces and assets to a qualitatively new level.
Russian soldiers are betting on the new drone detection and elimination system "Peroed-M", which has already been put into series production. It can detect enemy UAVs at a distance of 15 km, while being at an altitude of 5 km. The complex's stealth is ensured by a narrow scanning beam.
