L3Harris Technologies has been chosen by the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to prototype a command-and-control system capable of operating hundreds or even thousands of autonomous assets simultaneously. This initiative supports the U.S. Department of Defense’s Replicator programme, which aims to enhance military operations using advanced autonomous technologies.

Saab’s Autonomous Swarm technology recently featured in the ground-breaking Project Convergence 2024 trials, consisting of one month in the United States. A large UK team, comprising 40 employees from Saab-owned BlueBear and UK MOD Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) personnel, demonstrated the ability to deploy interoperable AI within Autonomous Swarms of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS).

The Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine recently organised a demonstration of cutting-edge drone and guided munition technologies developed by local manufacturers.

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.
