"kind of a prerequisite to be successful in the total drone warfare that is coming to all of us."
"This is just not sustainable,"
"You can scale drone manufacturing much more than you can pilots,"
"what is the use of them if you can't really deploy them at scale?"
Ark Robotics is developing systems that allow a single operator to control thousands of aerial drones and ground robots, including platforms from other manufacturers, with minimal human intervention. The approach prioritizes autonomous collaboration and swarm management so drones can work together without one-to-one piloting. Scaling operators is slower than ramping production of drones, creating a need to shift from one-drone-per-pilot models to one-pilot-controlling-many. The Ukraine conflict has driven unprecedented drone usage and rapid capability innovation. Western allies and rival states are expanding combat-drone manufacturing to prepare for large-scale deployment and to preserve force-multiplying advantages. Mass autonomous control offers a sustainable model to deploy large drone fleets at operational scales, and systems aim to enable interoperability across hardware while reducing human workload per mission.
