Small AI models let drones autonomously identify and attack battlefield targets

Scaleout is deploying decentralized machine learning software to military drones, allowing the aircraft to identify and engage targets autonomously without needing a connection to a central server. This technology enables edge computing on battlefield hardware, reducing latency and reliance on external communications in contested environments.
