- Due to AI-controlled FPV attack drones, traditional short-range electronic warfare is becoming irrelevant.
- The main focus for developers is to detect enemy drone launches early, as announced by Maksym Skoretsky during the Kyiv cUAS Meetup.
- Skoretsky predicts the complete automation of the attack process by drones, where artificial intelligence handles targeting independently.
- The effectiveness of any short-range electronic warfare means will be irrelevant once AI fully controls drones.
- Skoretsky emphasizes that a preventive approach is crucial for protecting infantry; detecting the threat early provides time for preventive measures.
- He urges manufacturers to develop early warning systems and increase radio reconnaissance assets to expand the radio horizon.
- There is a recognition that Ukraine has reached the limits of using standard electronic warfare means, and alternatives in the Chinese market are exhausted.
