This picture is rare. Because these drones are so new, there are only a handful of photos and--despite what most claim--almost no videos of them exist online. This is a BQM-177 target drone. Built by Kratos Defense and Security Solutions, this is the military's latest and greatest target drone and is used as anti-ship cruise missile targets--making it one of the fastest and most maneuverable drones in the world. Shield AI is partnering with the US Navy to integrate autonomy into the BQM-177 and turn these into prototype flying test beds to accelerate autonomy integration with the warfighter. Proud to be part of the team that's going to crush this. My crystal ball says the lack of photos and videos will change dramatically in the near future 🔮 That other thing the BQM-177 is lacking: to my knowledge, it doesn't have a formal name--yet. Maybe it'll earn a proper name through this initiative... #ai #autonomy #navy #technology press release: https://lnkd.in/gq5nDi6c
