OPTIMIZE MILITARY DRONE PERFORMANCE WITH AI
Military drones are used all over the world in situations where it’s unsafe or impractical to send in human troops. In order for these drones to operate at peak efficiency, they require solid operating systems, and can benefit greatly from AI enhancements to these systems.
Whether a military drone is conducting reconnaissance and surveillance, identifying targets, or monitoring real-time battlefield conditions, Shearwater’s Smart Flight Technology allows military drones to fly longer distances, coordinate operations more effectively, and operate more stealthily.
COMMON CHALLENGES FACED BY MILITARY DRONES
Drones in the military operate in some of the harshest conditions on the planet, and face many unique challenges.
-
Battery endurance is a top challenge faced by most military drones. High constraints on battery life often restrict a drone’s operational time. This can lead to shorter-than-ideal mission parameters or additional units required to achieve mission objectives.
-
Countermeasures including signal jamming and physical attacks are of special concern to military drones. Enemy operations can employ a variety of countermeasures to disrupt drone effectiveness.
-
Military drones are expected to perform in any climate and during inclement weather. Harsh weather conditions can become a problem if wind, rain, or snow affect the drone’s capacity to gather intelligence or operate optimally.
Ultimately, artificial intelligence can help military drones overcome these many challenges to operate at peak efficiency in challenging situations. That’s where Smart Flight comes in.

SMART FLIGHT™ BENEFITS FOR MILITARY DRONES
-
24/7 Operations: Drones equipped with Smart Flight can operate continuously without the need for breaks or shifts, providing persistent surveillance and monitoring capabilities. This is particularly valuable for maintaining constant vigilance in critical areas, enhancing overall situational awareness.
-
Quick Response: Smart Flight can rapidly respond to emerging threats or changing situations without human intervention. This agility allows military drones to make quicker decisions and adapt to dynamic battlefield conditions.
-
Coordinated Swarming: Smart Flight enables drones to operate collaboratively in swarms, leveraging coordinated efforts to achieve complex tasks, enhancing the efficiency of surveillance and reconnaissance.
-
Stealth and Deception: Smart Flight can enable drones to operate stealthily, reducing the likelihood of detection by adversaries. This can provide a tactical advantage in surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
-
Long-Range Operations: Smart Flight helps drones to cover longer distances and operate in remote areas, contributing to extended military reach and the ability to monitor or engage targets far from established bases.
