#DisruptiveTech 🔴 Saab’s Autonomous Swarm technology recently featured in the ground-breaking Project Convergence 2024 trials, organised by AUKUS, the trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. A large UK team, comprising 40 employees from BlueBear - A Saab Company and UK Ministry of Defence MOD Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) personnel, demonstrated the ability to deploy interoperable AI within Autonomous Swarms of Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), during a month-long trial in the United States. At the core of BlueBear’s AI-enabled autonomy solution is the ability to ‘hot-swap’ AI from any supplier in an autonomous systems-of-systems. This technology is key to unlocking the game-changing potential of deployed networked sensors and effectors in an integrated multi-domain battlefield. #sensors #military #autonomous #swarms #drones #uas #uav AUKUS Forum, AUKUS DIN, Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting
