Ukraine Explores AI to Counter Russian Jamming of Drones
-
Israel's A.I. for air strikes risks harming civilians, while Ukraine's drone-targeting A.I. could help defend against Russia's invasion.
-
Russia has deployed radio jammers that can disrupt Ukraine's human-operated drones, but A.I. could steer drones if jamming blocks signals.
-
Ukrainian company Twist Robotics has tested an algorithm that locks onto drone targets so drones can strike even if jamming blocks the human operator's control.
-
Operator skill has allowed Ukrainians to overcome Russian jamming so far, but better jammers are appearing that may require A.I. assistance.
-
There are costs to equipping drones with A.I. controls, but losing the drone advantage to Russian jamming would be worse for Ukraine.
