AI-powered attack drones take flight

Drones are designed to enhance military operations through cutting-edge technology. Anduril Industries recently announced the launch of two advanced drones , the Bolt and Bolt-M, which are designed to enhance military operations through cutting-edge technology. These drones are not just typical consumer models.

They are tailored for tactical applications, with the Bolt-M variant specifically equipped for munitions delivery. The Bolt-M (Anduril) Cutting-edge technology in defense The Bolt family operates on Anduril's Lattice artificial intelligence platform, which integrates artificial intelligence to streamline complex military operations. The Lattice system is designed to manage machine-to-machine tasks at unprecedented speeds, allowing for efficient coordination in combat scenarios.



This technology enables operators to focus on strategic decisions rather than navigating the drones manually.
