Details
AI-powered turrets from a Brave1 platform participant against fiber-optic drones. Such drones cannot be suppressed by electronic warfare (EW). Therefore, Ukraine has learned how to shoot them down. The system autonomously detects the drone, tracks the target, and calculates the trajectory. The operator confirms the strike with a single button press
He noted that the soldiers of the K-2 brigade were the first to use the turret against enemy fiber-optic UAVs. Today, this weapon is operational in more than 10 units.
The key task is to scale the solution faster than the enemy can change their technology
