The war in Ukraine is leaving large novelties at the technological level on the battlefield and one of them comes with surprise. Russia is already deploying suicidal drones equipped with artificial intelligence of Nvidia, capable of identifying and attack.
This makes clear once again that despite seeming a war of many years ago, it can be found certain touches of modern war that not only be fought with soldiers and tanks, but also with tip technology.
In recent weeks, Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed that Russia is using an improved version of its Shahed drones, now called MS001, which integrate advanced and components of the West – giving higher prices, but ensuring key components -, despite international sanctions.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the MS001 can dodge the anti -aircraft defenses that are right now and adapt on the march if you see changes in the environment or in the behavior of its objectives. The great fear is that these drones can see, analyze and decide who to attack without a human having to intervene directly.
The heart of this drone is the Jetson Orin Nvidia, a small but very powerful computer designed for artificial and robotic intelligence tasks. Thanks to this ‘brain’, the MS001 not only follows coordinates that have been computer, it also analyzes real -time video, recognizes vehicles and people, and chooses the perfect objective at every moment.

Receive a mission, take off, look for objectives, evaluate and attack them without waiting for orders
The key that this drone is a real madness is in your hardware. The Jetson Orin de Nvidia, although it is a civil and non -military product, has a calculation power of up to 275 tops in AI, with a 12 -core CPU and a GPU with more than 2,000 CUDA nuclei. All this hidden in a very small module that fits in the palm of the hand,
It also comes with a high -resolution thermographic chamber, capable of detecting heat and operating at night or in low visibility conditions. It also uses a special CPA antenna to withstand electronic interference and a Full HD video transmission system in real time.
Ukraine has the final weapon to win the war thanks to the AI
On the other hand, Ukraine defends himself with great novelties in technology and one of them is a land drone with artificial intelligence that promises to be the nightmare of Russian drones.
The fifteenth Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine has begun to use this new anti -aircraft defense system developed by the local company Dron ZP. This device combines an automated turret with advanced sensors and neural networks, creating a relentless drone hunter that works with the accuracy of a surgeon and the speed of lightning.
Here the AI is responsible for locating and knocking down enemy drones automatically, while an operator supervises the entire process using a kind of tablet. Of course, it comes with all kinds of technologies and, for example, incorporates night vision.
In addition, this novelty can work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without anything failing, since its optical fiber connection makes it immune to electronic interference.
On the other hand, and knowing precisely the big problems generated by drones, a great solution against them has already been launched. The American company Epirus is one of the pioneers in this field. He has obtained a contract of 66 million dollars for the creation of prototypes with the United States Army.
Specifically, This company will supply its high -power microwave wave weapon with name Leónidas to the US army. Thanks to this technology, it can neutralize objectives making them lose contact with their operators and achieved the defeat of swarms in multiple tests, surpassing six preselected systems.
«Again and again, we have seen that current air defense systems are poorly equipped to deal with the threat of autonomous drone swarms,» explains the CEO of Epirus, Ken Bedingfield. «This contract provides a new capacity against swarms to the fight against the UAS with our profitable, modular and update lion systems.»
