US company’s AI lets Ukraine’s cheap kamikaze drones track targets on their own

The Ukrainian military is upgrading 50,000 Shrike drones with Auterion's AI-powered Skynode S strike kits, enabling autonomous target tracking and fire-and-forget capabilities without GPS reliance. This enhancement allows drones to home in on moving targets even if communication is lost or jammed. The AI uses onboard visual data to guide strikes, improving effectiveness against armored vehicles and other battlefield targets.
