What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Swedish AI startup used a low-cost loitering munition from BAE Systems Bofors during a demonstration for the Affordable Loitering Modular Ammunition program. The drone autonomously detected and targeted an armored engineering vehicle, completing the mission in under 320 seconds. The AI processing was handled onboard, allowing the mission to proceed without communication, which supports resilience against electronic warfare.
