At the beginning of August, a demonstration took place at the Airbus Drone Center near Manching, which marked the culmination and conclusion of an intensive research phase as part of the Bundeswehr study KITU 2 (Künstliche Intelligenz für taktische UAS; Artificial Intelligence for tactical UAS). The aim of the study was to develop innovative solutions for the AI-supported control of swarms of drones. The new technologies enable large swarms of autonomous UAS to be effectively controlled by a small number of operators, even in highly dynamic and interference-prone environments.
