Swedish drone uses onboard AI to attack targets solo
A Swedish startup, Scaleout Systems, demonstrated a drone that used its own onboard AI to spot and attack a target, fully autonomously. At a BAE Systems demo, the drone detected, picked, and bombed an armored vehicle in just over five minutes. No cloud connection, outside help, or human guidance was needed beyond pressing start—the pilot just watched as backup. All AI processing happened directly on the drone’s hardware.

The decade-long project was a collaboration between Google Research, HHMI Janelia, and other researchers, and follows the earlier complete map of a female fruit fly brain. AI powered much of the analysis, stitching together data from millions of images.
