🚀 AI-Driven Defense Systems: The Future of Warfare AI is revolutionizing defense by enhancing surveillance, speeding up decision-making, and enabling autonomous combat systems. From predictive maintenance to real-time data analysis, AI is making defense smarter and more efficient. At Su Sanchar Aerospace Pvt Ltd, we’re leading the charge with cutting-edge AI solutions for modern defense. #DefenseTech #AerospaceDefense #Drones #DefenseTech #AIinDefense #SmartWarfare #SuSancharAerospace 💬 How do you think AI will shape the future of defense?

In this article Jack Watling at RUSI does what few military analysts are able or willing to do: Take a popular and exciting technical idea and patiently, systematically place it in an unforgiving real-world context. In this case, Watling adds some sobriety from the Ukraine battlefield to the debate over the relative utility of drones and robotic systems in ground combat. Watling had a narrow purpose here: He calmly disabuses the notion that autonomous systems might allow for reductions in manpower across ground combat units. He walks us through, step by step, exactly why (presently, at least) there are no simple, effective ways to replace manpower with robot power. While his purpose was narrow, he taps into a broader issue regarding the role of advanced technology in warfare. I suspect he has done so knowingly. Our collective debate over technology is mostly unanchored from practical reality. It is easy to imagine and conceptually inject advanced technology into land warfare scenarios. Most people associated with Western militaries have seen one of many system-of-systems concept diagrams with aircraft, satellites, AI, drones, armored vehicles, ships, and the odd human operating in perfect synchronization, undisrupted by terrain, weather, or even an enemy who has little interest in being system-ed to death. It is harder to take those concepts and think through exactly how they might or might not work in the real world, particularly since many of them remain permanently attached to drawing boards. Moreover - and perhaps more importantly - the most ardent advocates of robotic warfare are not incentivized to drag their ideas through the real-world mud knowing they might get stuck. Presently, the community of military professionals and analysts is working to figure out exactly what aerial drones, AI, and autonomous ground (and sea) systems mean for contemporary and future warfare. I propose in my forthcoming book that none of us have a clear answer. Having now studied 423 modern battles from 2003-2022, I argue it would be possible to randomly examine any handful of these and cherrypick evidence to simultaneously support diametrically opposed conclusions about robotic war. That is why these ground checks are so important. The more we can do to drag debate over advanced technology back into the real world, the more effective our force design and acquisition decisions will be even in the very-near future. We presently have fingertip access to mind-melting quantities of war data. Yet we also have a massive gap in constructive, empirical evidence to support our analysis and decision-making. More of this kind of analysis, please, and also more publicly available, structured data from proponents and critics of robotic warfare alike. #ukraine #drones #warfare #rusi #warontherocks Ryan Evans https://lnkd.in/eVzYBPWG

Autonomous systems can certainly change manpower requirements in any given unit, but that change may not necessarily mean a leaner force (ie fewer humans). Interesting take here with examples from US and Ukrainian forces.

Quantum Systems, the Munich-based manufacturer of dual-use reconnaissance drones that use multi-sensor technology to collect data for government agencies and commercial users, confirms for the first time the deployment of a previously unreleased AI sensor upgrade of the type “Receptor AI” in Ukraine. The new upgrade kit is based on a Jetson Orin Nvidia chip and several sensors for the Vector reconnaissance drone. The further development enables optical navigation during the day and at night and in poor visibility conditions, as well as automated AI-supported object recognition and identification. In times of electronic warfare, navigation is the biggest challenge for the use of drones. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gbYcNjGS

The future of defense tech is here: autonomous attack drones that outsmart and outnumber. Leveraging AI, these swarms will revolutionize military strategy, working seamlessly with human counterparts. How can we ensure ethical AI deployment while pushing boundaries in defense innovation? #AISecurity #FutureTech #AIethics

Take a look at this article about the EMC Operations Group, Sentian Class XPLORER UAS for BNN Breaking. Both EMC Operations Group, and Sentian Aerospace are in for a rather large year, we have major plans for XPLORER, XTENSION, XHLALE... alongside another Sentian Class system which we are yet to discuss... If you want a force multiplier, then multiply your forces. The autonomous age of warfare is on the way! Granted, it's the wrong photo, but the general gist is there... #defence #defense #military #defenceindustry #drones #unmanned #unmannedsystems #unmannedaerialvehicle #emcoperations #sentian #xplorer #uas #drone https://lnkd.in/gcbh3q_T

Large systems only change when they are pressured. Despite some progress, cheap drones in the Red Sea are pressuring the United States Department of Defense to change its defensive posture, quickly. The DoD, just like a large tanker, takes time to gather the momentum required to change direction, sometimes it is hard to see the change, even harder to see who is generating the momentum. In this particular case, Anduril Industries is leading the way on autonomy. #AI #defensetech #21stcenturyoffset
