A new report from MIT Technology Review hints at the fact that the U.S. Navy is seriously considering building swarms of cheap drones for battle.
As reported by MIT Technology Review on Oct. 24, 2022, the U.S. Navy is seriously considering developing swarms of cheap drones to add considerable weaponry to its arsenal. The MIT report centers around a budget document released by the U.S. Navy in May 2021.
This document has some exciting details about how the Navy might use swarms of AI-enabled, autonomous drones for both offensive and defensive purposes. These groups of drones, called "Super Swarm," could be used to overwhelm air defenses or do kamikaze-style airstrikes.
