The Ukrainian company ZIR System has developed an artificial intelligence system for drones that allows you to automatically recognize enemy targets and target them.
«Our artificial intelligence system allows not only to recognize static targets, but also to accurately target moving objects at a speed of up to 60 km/h. It is able to track several targets at the same time and choose the priority one to hit,» said one of the system’s developers in an interview with «Military».
This system, unlike traditional computer vision technologies, was trained on a specially created database and is able to recognize seven types of targets: infantry, vehicles, minivans, trucks, air defense vehicles, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles.
Also, the system even allows you to recognize equipment hidden in forest plantations.
The range of automatic target recognition varies from 150 to 800 meters depending on the type of object, and the maximum targeting range is up to 1000 meters.
The development can be adapted to any type of FPV kamikaze drone, including multicopters, wings and airplanes. The system is equipped with its own camera, connects to the flight controller and standard VTX, and the drone is controlled using a standard remote control.
Such a system, the publication’s interlocutor said, costs approximately $50 dollars more than traditional guidance systems.
Currently, the developers are working on increasing the accuracy of the system, after which they will codify the system for the possibility of official procurement of the product by the Ministry of Defense.
