The Armed Forces of Ukraine Are Already Using Dozens of AI and Machine Vision Developments: Military Revealed Details

The Armed Forces are already using more than 70 samples of various systems based on artificial intelligence and machine vision technologies to strike enemy targets.

Currently in Ukraine more than 200 companies are engaged in the production of AI drones, and on the Brave1 Market marketplace defenders have access to 46 developments in the field of AI, including target recognition modules, optical stabilization, and automatic guidance. It is noted that the introduction of these technologies fundamentally changes the principles of using unmanned systems. Algorithms are entrusted with important combat tasks now: from navigation and object identification to autonomous target engagement. However, the final decision on selecting a target and engaging it is made by a human. Thus, machine-vision algorithms analyze terrain features and landmarks under the hull, comparing them with loaded maps. This provides precise positioning without GPS signal, both day and night. In addition, neural networks analyze visual information, detecting enemy equipment and personnel. Thanks to computer vision, as the drone approaches the target, it locks onto the target and continues moving toward it autonomously. This allows striking objects even when communication with the operator is lost due to active enemy radio-electronic warfare. For effective operation of the algorithms, vast amounts of verified data are required. They exist, in particular, in the Brave1 Dataroom – a secure environment where developers gain access to structured data sets for validation, training, and fine-tuning AI solutions in the military field.

As a reminder, the American manufacturer will, for the first time, release sea drones Magura, developed and tested in the war in Ukraine. In addition, the Ukrainian strike drone “Lyutiy” was transformed into a missile carrier. It was first shown at an international exhibition in the United Kingdom.
