"'This drone that we're building with the help of AI will enable us to attack 50 different drones with one mission without firing any weaponry," he shared."
"One of the major problems any military force has is this: All too often, they train to fight the last war, and neglect looking around at current conflicts for lessons. One such current conflict is the Russo-Ukrainian War, which is still somehow dragging on; another is the United States' takedown of the 7th-century barbarians running Iran. Both of these conflicts have given us plenty to consider when it comes to one of the newer weapons of war: Drones.
"Drones, especially drone swarms, pose the possibility of overwhelming traditional air defenses and causing significant damage, not only to combat forces but also to an army's logistical trains; that's something that Ukraine in particular seems to have a knack for. Now, the American company Lockheed Martin has announced the development of some new weapons systems that combine AI with the weapons themselves, specifically to counter drone swarms. So far, the company isn't revealing a lot of detail, but Lockheed Martin's CEO, Jim Taiclet, recently handed out a few hints.
A top U.S. defense contractor pulled back the curtain on next-generation AI-powered systems designed to hunt down and destroy swarms of enemy drones as the U.S. rapidly expands its next-generation warfighting capabilities.
"We are inserting technology of all types into our systems," Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet told FOX Business on Thursday, detailing the company's AI-powered counter-drone system, Sanctum.
Taiclet said the system uses artificial intelligence to detect incoming drones, determine whether they pose a threat and predict where they are headed before they can be intercepted or disabled.
