South Korea has developed AI-powered FPV drones: How one operator can control hundreds.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine led to rapid developments in combat drones. This is especially true for FPV drones, which can target both enemy troops and their equipment. In South Korea, AI-powered FPV drones have emerged that can operate in swarms.

According to information from Defense Express, the company Nearthlab has developed a technology for drones synchronized with artificial intelligence. The Xaiden drones are intended for militaries engaged in intelligence and can perform tasks for monitoring and neutralizing enemy forces.

Uniqueness of the new AI-powered FPV drones

• A swarm consists of 10 drones, with one controlled by a person and the others by artificial intelligence.
• The swarm can take to the air and perform tasks autonomously after receiving the appropriate command.

How it works

Such a drone can create a buffer zone in which no enemy soldier survives. This significantly increases the effectiveness of military operations.

A group of German scientists has also developed a technology that will allow a shift from petroleum in aviation, which contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuels in the industry.
