Ukraine’s special forces have developed new drone tech that Russia can’t jam.
- Drones can now fly and hit targets without GPS or operator input, The Economist reported.
- Russia and Ukraine are in a drone and electronic warfare arms race.
Ukraine’s special forces have developed new software that allows drones to fly without the use of GPS, limiting the impact of Russian jamming.
The software, called Eagle Eyes, allows unmanned drones to travel using sight rather than satellite-based GPS navigation, The Economist reported .
It uses AI to compare live video of the area below the drone to a map made from photos and video that a reconnaissance aircraft previously collected, the report said.
This means that drones can keep flying even if Russia tries to jam them.
