It became known about the problems of the US Army in handling drones

Military exercises in the Mojave Desert in the United States demonstrated that the US military cannot control advanced autonomous weapons systems and ensure the full implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) with reference to current and former national security officials.

The events were supposed to show the US Army's skillset, but problems arose from the very beginning.

The drones in high temperature conditions (up to 43 degrees Celsius) refused to work properly; there were too many problems with the AI, so the participants in the exercises had to launch the drones only for half the maximum flight time in order to preserve the battery charge and not lose the device. The soldiers soaked their T-shirts in icy water and wrapped them around the antennas, and the wind did not allow them to fully control the devices.

Drones from American companies Theiss UAV Solutions and Anduril Industries also took part in the tests. The material concludes that it has not yet been possible to turn the US Army into a structure that successfully learns innovation.
