Ukrainian startup says its drones could work on their own by year’s end, thanks to AI


Armed with a fresh round of investment from the West, Ukrainian drone autonomy startup the Fourth Law is showcasing new footage as it aims to become the first to reach the latest holy grail of drone warfare: full autonomy.

"When we're talking about full autonomy, I think we're definitely going to see singular demos by the end of this year," Yaroslav Azhnyuk, the Fourth Law’s founder and CEO told the Kyiv Independent. The new footage from the Fourth Law displays some particularly effective last-mile targeting that Azhnyuk says is the first of five steps en route to drones that can run their own missions without needing a pilot. The modules currently add roughly $70 to the cost of a first-person view(FPV) drone, and there are, Azhnyuk said, thousands of them already at the front line, including with the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade.
