This is like giving a ship’s laser gun a smart, automated co‑pilot that spots hostile drones, decides which ones matter most, and keeps the laser locked on target—much faster and more accurately than a human crew alone can manage.
Modern ships and bases face swarms of small, fast, cheap drones that are hard for humans to track and engage manually with high‑energy lasers. The AI system automates detection, tracking, and engagement decisions so that defenses can react in seconds, not minutes, and handle many threats at once.
Tight integration of AI algorithms with classified sensor data, engagement doctrines, and high‑energy laser hardware on naval platforms; operational test data from live exercises can further refine models, creating a data and domain‑expertise moat that is hard for commercial players to replicate.
Hybrid
Vector Search
High (Custom Models/Infra)
Real-time inference latency and reliability under contested/denied environments (limited compute at the edge, thermal and power constraints on platforms, and need for deterministic, certifiable behavior).
Early Adopters
Focus on tightly coupling AI decision-making and targeting with high‑energy laser weapon systems for automated drone defense in naval/defense contexts, rather than generic counter‑UAS or radar-only solutions.
