AI Drone Hunts and Outsmarts Targets
10 Jul
Summary
- AI drone uses trained neural network to predict target maneuvers.
- Interceptor drone can lock on and automatically pursue targets.
- The Hunt drone has a maximum speed of 290 km/h and a range of 40 km.
The Drone Expo 2026 in Kazan featured the debut of the 'Hunt' interceptor drone, a significant advancement in unmanned aerial systems. This cutting-edge drone is equipped with artificial intelligence that goes beyond basic machine vision, incorporating a trained neural network. This allows the Hunt drone to analyze radar data, square its target, and automatically lock on.
A key capability of the Hunt drone is its ability to anticipate the maneuvers of its targets. This predictive function enhances its effectiveness in interception missions. While currently focused on combating fixed-wing drones, the developer, Neat, is also working on adapting it to engage heavier unmanned aerial vehicles.
The interceptor drone is versatile in deployment, capable of being launched from hand-held or ground-based systems. It boasts a maximum speed of 290 km/h and a cruising speed of 140 km/h, with an operational range extending up to 40 km, making it a formidable tool in aerial defense.
