Artificial intelligence is significantly transforming drone warfare, making it more lethal than ever. The US military's investment in AeroVironment's Switchblade drones exemplifies this shift, as these compact munitions provide precise air support with minimal collateral damage. With AI integration, the success rates of drone strikes are dramatically increasing, particularly in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Ukrainian drone operators have reported that AI-equipped drones are three to four times more likely to hit their targets compared to human-piloted drones. This advancement is seen as a potential game-changer, as it allows for the replacement of soldiers on the battlefield with uncrewed systems, ultimately reducing human casualties. The rapid evolution of AI in military applications underscores the urgency for nations to adapt to these technological advancements.
