Shrike uses artificial intelligence technology.
The US Army’s Future Command’s Army Software Factory has developed new software that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the time it takes to identify a target and send a fire mission.
The software has reportedly cut the time to respond to the threats from 15 minutes to 1 minute.
This has been reported by Interesting Engineering.
Shrike uses artificial intelligence technology in its work. It is this technology that allows it to recognize targets using limited information. The system collects data and automatically creates a request to open fire. And the user can approve or reject it.
Once the fire mission is complete, the drone can scan the area immediately, conduct a battle damage assessment, and generate another fire mission to destroy the target.
Shrike was displayed for the first time by the US 101st Airborne Division. Soldiers operated the drone, along with its attached device and software, as they flew it over the enemy’s motor pool to scan the vehicles of their adversary.
Major General Brett Sylvia, commander of the 101st Airborne Division, has stated that after the data is processed, a following flight can detect a hidden and camouflaged vehicle and identify the type of vehicle from a visible wheel, bumper, or windshield.
According to the publication, the standard time for the Army to identify and get rounds on target in a traditional fire mission is five to eight minutes. According to the two-star, some may take as long as 15 minutes. However, using this software, it is possible to do so in less than a minute.
