A new type of American V-BAT drone with artificial intelligence from the startup Shield Al has been spotted at the front. The drones are insensitive to any radio interference and are capable of detecting Buk anti-aircraft missile systems dozens of kilometers from the front line.
The authors of The Wall Street Journal reported that the drones were launched 40 km from the front line. They flew 100 km, discovered 11 Buk anti-aircraft missile systems, and transmitted the coordinates to HIMARS calculations.
According to preliminary data, thanks to AI, sensors, and Nvidia chips, V-BAT drones are capable of independently maneuvering, conducting reconnaissance, and quickly transmitting guidelines for strikes on targets without an operator or GPS.
In addition, they can fly for 12 hours to a distance of up to 1000 km and carry more than 11 kg of explosives for dropping on targets. Thanks to vertical take-off, the drone can be launched from anywhere.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia produces about 45 thousand sets of Hermes interference-protected communication systems for FPV drones annually. They increase the operating range of the devices up to 100 km.
