TL;DR

US LUCAS long-range, low-cost one-way attack drones will be outfitted with Shield AI's Hivemind autonomy software to enable coordinated AI-driven swarms with a human-in-the-loop for lethal decisions; the AI pilots have been tested in Ukraine and aim to boost kill probability, lower cost per effect, and maintain swarm effectiveness in GPS- or comms-denied environments, with an operational demonstration planned later this year.
