""There's a gap between the hype around autonomy and what actually works on the frontline today," said Achi, who spoke to Business Insider using a pseudonym as a security precaution. Defense forces, he said, "want a hundred percent reliability, and the AI is just not there." Artificial intelligence alone won't get the job done right now.Human oversight is still heavily required, but a shift is expected."
"Ark Robotics makes a suite of autonomous robots used by more than 20 Ukrainian brigades, and is developing a system that allows thousands of aerial drones and ground robots, including ones made by different companies, to work together with minimal human involvement. The system, Frontier, isn't fully autonomous, nor does it claim to be. "That's not where the industry is yet," Achi said. He said autonomy is present in Frontier but described it as an early step toward network-level autonomy at scale."
Autonomy in defense is greatly overhyped and much labeled autonomous is not truly autonomous. Real frontline autonomous usage is under 1%. Defense forces demand one hundred percent reliability, and current AI capabilities fall short. Human oversight remains heavily required, though a shift toward greater autonomy is expected. Ark Robotics supplies autonomous robots to more than 20 brigades and is developing Frontier to coordinate thousands of aerial and ground systems with minimal human involvement. Frontier is not fully autonomous and represents an early step toward network-level autonomy at scale. Time pressure and global competition accelerate development.
