The US military signed a contract with General Atomics to develop a combat drone control system. This process should be carried out based on the involvement of artificial intelligence.
The system will automatically control the drone. At the same time, process the received data in real time. One of the important components in the work is the data received from the sensors. You can track them visually, even with the help of
binoculars.
Testing of the innovative development will be carried out on one of the recently released drones, which has shown good results in exploration. The system should control all sensors installed on board and be almost completely responsible for the flight. As for making decisions to open fire, the operators will be doing this for now.
According to the project engineers, the main task of the innovation system is data collection and processing. Indeed, during the flight, drones collect a lot of intelligence information that operators must analyze. And the lack of staff and the huge burden on existing specialists makes this work very difficult.
