Chinese research team develops HG-STR algorithm for autonomous drone swarm targeting
Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
Chinese researchers have developed a new algorithm called HG-STR (Heterogeneous Graph Spatio-Temporal Reasoning) that enables drone swarms to autonomously hunt and destroy enemy targets with a 100% kill rate. The algorithm allows fixed-wing drones to operate effectively even when communications are jammed and vision is blocked, by using smart web identification to distinguish between friends, foes, and terrain. According to the peer-reviewed research, this is the first known algorithm capable of achieving such a high kill rate while operating fast enough for modern warfare.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe algorithm, known as HG-STR (Heterogeneous Graph Spatio-Temporal Reasoning), promises to allow a fleet of fixed-wing drones to autonomously search a vast battlefield and eliminate every single enemy.
It is the first known algorithm capable of achieving a 100 per cent kill rate while operating fast enough to keep up with the pace of modern warfare, according to a peer-reviewed study.
Smart web identifies objects as friend, foe or terrain, meaning drone swarms can hunt even when communication is jammed and vision blocked.
