The Foundation for Advanced Studies (FPI, a state structure that supports projects in the interests of Russia's defense) actively uses artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in developments for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). This was stated by Alexander Filippov, head of the AI center at FPI.
Special attention is paid to computer vision in conjunction with landscape navigation.
According to Filippov, one of the developers supported by the foundation has created a special neural network algorithm. With its help, a drone can autonomously (without a signal from global satellite systems) hit a dynamic target.
The expert also named the main trends in UAS. This refers to swarm control of drone groups. The key parameter for the development of this direction is considered to be the level of swarm intelligence — the depth of drone coordination, the ability to complete a task when elements of the group are lost. FPI also follows this trend and develops the latest complexes using swarm technologies, Filippov concluded.
