Robotic vehicles are playing an increasingly important role on the battlefield, with smaller man-portable vehicles being used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software are making possible smaller nano drones with greater intelligence, enabling them to detect and avoid threats while operating without GPS. AI-enabled UxVs are also useful for many nonmilitary applications, such as first responders, police, and firefighting professionals. Nano UASs carry smaller payloads, but the ability to communicate processed sensor data on-device is essential in tactical situations. AI and machine learning (ML) can provide the edge needed in ISR applications, where intelligence provides an advantage.
