"After Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine first took drone technology from expensive gear to cheaply made drones that are literally made from cardboard. As the battles continued, both Russia and Ukraine have countered each other's drones by interfering with GPS and jamming the wireless bandwidth used to control the drones. As a result, both sides have taken to using fiber optic drones, which are unjammable."
"So Ukraine has been working hard on the next logical step of drone warfare: AI-driven drones. It is far from the first. If you try to cross the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), you might be stopped by a South Korean SGR-A1 sentry robot, which is armed with a K-3 machine gun and 40mm automatic grenade launcher. These static robots have been deployed since 2010."
Military science fiction concepts have moved into real battlefields as autonomous and AI-equipped systems are increasingly employed. War accelerates technological adoption, driving improvised drone use in Ukraine from costly equipment to cheaply built cardboard designs. GPS interference and wireless jamming prompted migration to fiber-optic drones that resist jamming but have limited range and reveal operator locations. Protective nets and other counters emerged. Development then shifted toward AI-driven drones and robotic sentries, with deployed examples including South Korea's SGR-A1 sentry, Israel's Harpy and Harop loitering munitions and RoBattle, and U.S. efforts to integrate AI into Reapers, Valkyrie, and Longshot platforms.
