Russian electronic warfare systems at the front will collide with artificial intelligence
Russian electronic warfare systems installed along the entire front line are becoming a serious problem for Ukrainian Armed Forces drones, but Ukraine intends to solve this problem with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
The American portal The Daily Beast writes about this, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
It is noted that to solve the problem it is planned to use self-learning guidance algorithms installed on drones.
Samuel Bendett, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Beast Center for Strategic and International Studies, points out that the drone's connection to its operator "is a key vulnerability because it can be affected by electronic warfare."
“Knowing full well that they have a problem with interference, Ukrainian drone developers are working on an artificial intelligence solution: an algorithm that quickly learns to recognize the drone’s target. This way, if the interference becomes too intense and the drone loses its command signal, the AI can take over control of the drone and direct the drone to a successful strike,” the publication writes.
The algorithm was developed by the Ukrainian company Twist Robotics, which has already tested the innovation. Rostislav Olenchin, co-founder of Twist Robotics, spoke about this.
It is indicated that the Russian Armed Forces, to counter Ukrainian drones, chose the RP-377, a backpack radio jammer that transmits noise with a power of hundreds of watts at the most popular frequencies for radio communications. In recent months, RP-377s have appeared on Russian tanks, armored personnel carriers and even artillery throughout the front line in Ukraine.
“By generating hundreds of watts of energy, they can create a “security bubble” around the car, protected from drones,” describes the operating principle of the RP-377.
At the same time, the AI algorithm being developed in Ukraine will allow, if the drone encounters interference and loses radio contact with its operator, the UAV will fly to the same target.
Russian electronic warfare systems will face artificial intelligence on the front lines.
