The Ukrainian Defence Forces automatically detect 12,000 pieces of enemy equipment every week thanks to the Avengers artificial intelligence platform developed by the Ministry of Defence\u2019s Innovation Centre. This result is achieved by automatically analysing video from drones<\/a> and fixed cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the AI platform, operators can make decisions faster and more efficiently, and the risk of errors due to fatigue is reduced. This integration is already successfully operating in the VEZHA streaming module of the DELTA<\/a> combat system .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Avengers platform, developed by the Defence Ministry\u2019s Innovation Centre, is unique in the world in terms of the amount of video data on enemy equipment. We continue to develop Avengers and other AI solutions to provide our military with an edge. In the future, we plan to expand the platform\u2019s cloud capabilities and integrate AI solutions on drones\u201d, said Kateryna Chernogorenko, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine for Digitalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Innovation Centre continues to train the AI model of the Avengers platform using new data. This makes it possible to improve the quality of recognition of various enemy vehicles, even in difficult conditions, such as tanks hidden in forests or armoured personnel carriers moving on dirt roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, The Economist published<\/a> an article on the use of AI by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the war against russia, focusing on such areas as target identification and detection of sanctions violators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
