The People's Liberation Army revealed its latest drone swarm tech with 200 units that's resistant to jamming, can make autonomous decisions, and is controlled by a single soldier.
The concept of swarm robotics goes back more than 30 years, to this 1995 paper. The Pentagon has been holding multiple-robot challenges, like the Navy’s SWARM and LOCUST events, for more than a decade. But SWARM used about a dozen autonomous boats in very simple naval maneuvers, while LOCUST employed choreographed maneuvers.
Beijing’s military focuses on swarming drones that can pick off prey or robots that can chase down enemies.
A new partnership sees Lockheed Martin Skunk Works integrating with XTEND in a setup allowing large and small drones to work together seamlessly from one controller.
State broadcaster details how intelligent tech is used in the PLA’s ability to control masses of autonomous aircraft.
The Chinese military has advanced in drone swarm warfare, allowing one soldier to control 200 drones using AI. The PLA's tests showcased autonomous drone capabilities for reconnaissance and strikes. The swarm's intelligence allows precise task division and operation under electromagnetic interference.
Bhargavastra points to a historic moment for Indian defence. The fully indigenous system can fire 64 micro-missiles within 10 seconds. It can wipe out an entire drone swarm in one strike.
New platform enables coordinated, autonomous drone operations designed for modern defense environments
Researchers at the Indian Institu te of Science have developed a solution inspired by an unlikely source. A microscopic marine predator has provided the blueprint for coordinated drone swarms capable of autonomously detecting and combating fires.
