On June 30, Defense News reported that European drone manufacturers are increasingly integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into unmanned aerial vehicles to enhance visual navigation and targeting capabilities, particularly in GPS-denied settings. Czech company LPP Holding supplied AI-guided drones to Ukrainian forces, while other firms are experimenting with onboard data systems to enable real-time autonomous decision-making. Experts highlight challenges in training UAVs with reliable data for dynamic battlefield environments. The development marks a significant step in the evolution of autonomous military systems in Europe.
