Ukrainian forces have used $400 Shrike drones with explosive payloads to destroy Russian armored vehicles and helicopters. Now, these drones are being upgraded with an AI system from US company Auterion that enables autonomous target tracking and homing.
In mid-July, the Ukrainian military began receiving Shrike drones from SkyFall equipped with Auterion's Skynode S strike kits, with plans to deliver 50,000 units in the coming months. Operators can manually fly the drone, designate a target up to half a mile away, and switch to fire-and-forget terminal guidance mode.
