The next stage in the development of Russian drones will be the implementation of artificial intelligence that can independently recognize and track a selected target. Developers involved in creating their own UAV models reported on the work on such a system.
The algorithms should receive a task from the operator, after which the drone will be able to independently keep the object in sight and track it without constant manual correction.
The main task that needs to be implemented is target acquisition according to the task set by the commanders.
The development is being carried out for in-house produced hexacopters. These devices are distinguished by six rotors, which allows them to maintain stability even if one of the engines fails, and also to use a heavier payload compared to conventional quadcopters.
Artificial intelligence will make drones more resistant to electronic warfare systems.
If the technology is brought to serial production, it will be another step towards the emergence of drones capable of performing some tasks almost without human intervention.
