Single soldier can control 200 drones as swarm AI technology rises
U.S. defence technology company Palladyne AI is developing AI-based swarm control that it says would allow a single soldier to operate up to 200 drones at the same time. Its SwarmOS software assigns roles among drones after an operator sets a mission, and adjusts responses within mission limits. The company has tested the technology in U.S. Army training and is working with the U.S. Air Force under contracts including the HANGTIME programme.
