The article discusses the advancements in drone technology, particularly focusing on the rise of defense tech startups like Anduril Industries, which are innovating in developing sophisticated autonomous military drones. Founded by Palmer Luckey, Anduril has made notable strides with its products, including the Fury, an autonomous air vehicle that can reach high speeds and operate alongside human pilots. This evolution demonstrates a shift toward increasingly autonomous and collaborative combat systems, raising both operational capabilities and ethical concerns surrounding the use of such technology in warfare.
Drones have evolved far beyond their decades-old roles as battlefield surveillance tools into thinking machines capable of rivaling experienced pilots.
Anduril's Fury autonomous air vehicle, part of the Next-Generation Air Dominance program, is designed as a 'loyal wingman' to assist human pilots.
