According to the Financial Times, the American-German company Auterion will transfer tens of thousands of its strike kits for drones with artificial intelligence to Ukraine.
Points of attention
- The strike kits include advanced technology such as Skynode mini-computers, cameras, and radio modules, allowing drones to function as autonomous combat platforms resistant to jammers.
- Auterion's software will enable the coordination of swarms of autonomous drones, enhancing their effectiveness in pursuit of targets and on the battlefield.
Ukrainian drones will become even more powerful
A statement on this occasion was made by Auterion CEO Lorenz Mayer.
According to the latter, within the next 5 months his company intends to transfer 33 thousand such systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Mayer points out that this will be the largest delivery of such systems ever. What is important to understand is that this will be 10 times more than before.
The process of their supply will be carried out within the framework of Auterion's contract with the US Department of Defense for $50 million — it is part of the US government's security assistance to Ukraine.
The delivery will include Skynode mini-computers with their own software, camera, and radio module, which transform conventional drones into autonomous combat platforms, resistant to jammers and capable of pursuing targets at a distance of up to 1 km.
Mayer also made it clear that Auterion's software will enable groups of autonomous drones to work as a swarm and coordinate with each other.
