The Airbus Drone Center near Manching hosted a presentation to demonstrate the results of the Bundeswehr’s KITU 2 study (“Artificial Intelligence for Tactical UAS”).
The study was commissioned by the German Armed Forces in July 2023, in collaboration with German drone manufacturer Quantum Systems and software company Spleenlab. Airbus Defence & Space, the main contractor for the KITU 2 study, has been working on solutions for using artificial intelligence to coordinate mixed UAS swarms with different capabilities.
“For the first time, a specially developed mission-AI controls and coordinates the UAS systems to ensure reliable mission execution even in scenarios with radio interference or a complete failure of individual drones,” Quantum Systems reported in a press release.
The AI has been taught using sophisticated deep-reinforcement learning techniques. These techniques include analyzing extensive amounts of data to provide input to the algorithm, enabling it to determine the actions required to accomplish its designated objective.
Throughout the trial, various drone types, namely the “Vector” and “Scorpion” from Quantum Systems and two “multipurpose” aircraft provided by Airbus, demonstrated the ability to fly in groups.
“The reconnaissance data from all the drones was merged in real time to form a joint situation picture and integrated into…
