UK military uses AI technology to help soldiers shoot drones


UK military uses AI technology to help them target, track, and predict movements of drones. Paratoopers are being trained this week.

With a tagline of ‘one shot – one hit,’ the technology uses image processing software to detect ‘un-crewed air systems,’ before being able to target, track, and predict its movement. In an official release published in October 2023, the British Army further explained its approach to AI, citing the benefits of having a competitive advantage and operating efficiency. They aren’t the only ones who are planning to integrate AI technology though, as the same company – Smartshooter – secured a follow-on contract to supply additional SMASH 200L fire control systems to the US Army in October 2023.
