Ukraine’s special forces are using advanced drone technology that doesn’t rely on GPS, making it resistant to Russian jamming efforts. The drones, developed by a Ukrainian startup called DroneUA, use computer vision and AI to navigate without GPS. This allows them to operate in areas where GPS signals are jammed or unavailable. The drones can be used for reconnaissance, target acquisition, and even dropping small munitions. DroneUA’s CEO says the technology gives Ukraine a significant advantage over Russia’s electronic warfare capabilities. The drones have already been used in combat operations and have proven effective in evading Russian jamming and providing valuable intelligence. Ukraine’s adoption of this cutting-edge drone tech highlights the importance of AI and computer vision in modern warfare, especially in contested environments where traditional navigation systems can be disrupted.
