Modern warfare is changing

War swarm technology.

When talking about modern warfare, many people still imagine tanks, missiles and helicopters, but the real battlefield is changing and fast, because the company XTEND Reality Inc, a military technology company from Israel has just signed a multi-million dollar contract with the US War Department to produce one-way attack drone kits.

They are disposable vehicles, equipped with warheads, capable of patrolling the sky until they detect a target and launch themselves directly at it, but the differential is not the drone itself, it is the swarm. XTEND Reality Inc developed a technology that allows a single operator to control several drones at the same time, a coordinated swarm that can support troops or act completely autonomously.

This changes traditional combat strategies.

This entire operation runs on XOS, the company's platform that integrates sensors, radars, payloads, even third-party software and an artificial intelligence-guided broadcast infrastructure; Communication was also designed for hostile environments, drones can use reinforced radio frequency or when necessary fiber optic cables, a way to prevent the enemy from blocking the signal.

This allows dozens or even hundreds of drones to share information in real time while scanning entire neighborhoods for a target, and according to XTEND Reality Inc CEO Aviv Shapira, the future of this system is already clear. With the advances of the you can now say to CCO or 100 drones, "Go to this place and look for this individual. If you find him, "let me know."

It is a level of automation that stops being just a technological leap, it begins to rewrite the logic of war and at this point the inevitable question is not about technology, but about limits, when an operator controls 100 drones, who is really making the final decision? The human or the AI ​​in the swarm he just unleashed?
