Swarm intelligence, image recognition with Neuron Network and so on are all technology developed in very recent years that can be used in a drone weapon today. These software tool are also available in free software (Google toolbox that can be used with python library) but NVIDIA microchip is necessary and I hope only Ukraine have access to this technology. The major part of the software work can be done in EU and USA and this could be a great help
Thanks for sharing, excellent read and highly interesting.
Reminds me of an article, where it was described that the US has placed an enormous amount of microphones in sea water to record and „catalogue“ noise, such as enemy submarines.
Hi Tom, thank you for this, as an IT guy myself, I'm impressed by what the Ukrainians have been able to do, they're leading the way and we're learning from them. As well send my regards to Mr. Fontanellaz. I thoroughly enjoyed Wars and Insurgencies in Uganda, its one of my favourite books and excellently written. I couldnt put it down when I first read it. This is quite off topic but I had sent you a message with the actual name of one of the groups, I had given it a place holder called "Montpesh". After asking some of my relatives who had been in the NRA/UFM(they had previously told me the story years ago and by the time I reached out to you I couldnt remember the name which is why I used the placeholder Montpesh, a wordplay on Montepuez Mozambique) they told me the actual name of the group was MOSPOR(Movement for the Struggle for Political Rights). It was a marxist group that was a complete failure.
This(MOSPOR) was the actual name of Museveni's rebel group(Not PRA as M7 has rewritten history) which received some guns from Andrew Kayiira in Jan or Feb 1981. It was also the same one that launched the failed attack on Kabamba barracks in February 1981 with ~27 guns some of which had been provided by Kayiira, some of which had been in Museveni's cache. In order to cover up the failure, he rebranded to the PRA(Popular Resistance Army) in time for the June 1981 Nairobi meeting where he won over Yusuf Lule's UFF to form the NRA(PRA+UFF). After winning the war he rewrote a lot of history to omit his failures or downplay the role played by a lot of NRA soldiers. For example the failed attack on Kabamba in Feb 1981 was rewritten as a victory and is constantly associated with NRA(which didnt exist by then).
Daymn! Sound sensors for air defense? That's crazy. So of course the UA would think of it and make it work. The jamming makes sense, but that seems a bit more traditional. I have been wondering about how a sound detector might work for this. We had an accoustic sensor in Iraq (got a dump of all sorts of new stuff for "testing" and we had an LCMR, this sensor, various cameras, and almost had one of those Blimps (something SAT, forget the exact name), but didn't have manpower to use it), and it was VERY good at tracking impacts and points of origin for light and medium mortars. Including the time we tracked a mortar team hitting their own getaway car (long story, but we had just gotten the system and we thought it was malfunctioning, but no, the insurgent mortar crew blew up their own getaway car parked 100 meters behind them, long story).
Mahalo brah.
Probably drone + AI will be a crucial tool in warfare soon and it is important that Ukraine have solid skill in this field
They will be the NATO specialists in the field.

Its a national war.
So literally all people are fighting.
Including software engineers.
Thx. Good read
Is Zvook the same project as Snyder's Safe Skies? Or are they duplicating each other?

Indeed, sounds very similar. I have donated for that one.
No idea. Must bring Adrien to answer some questions here...
Is this maybe a reason why there are less missiles shot down and it seems not that much is hit or is that due to informational silence?
Probably the latter. It's no news if a missile falls on an empty field

This is a very informative article, I find t very interesting thanks for the report Tom
Everything old is new again! This website has pictures from acoustic early warning systems from pre radar days.
