Anduril Industries has presented "Pulsar", a modular AI system for electronic warfare (EW). The modular systems can be deployed on the ground, on vehicles or using aerial drones and are intended to support "electronic countermeasures, unmanned defense systems, electronic attacks, direction finding, geolocation and other advanced EW functions".
The system should be able to detect current and future threats across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including small and medium-sized drones. Multiple devices should be able to network and coordinate with each other and detect threats in the airspace – preferably in real time. According to a press release, an open architecture and an SDK will enable shared EW and command and control systems, as well as the integration of third-party systems and other functions.
Cooperation with Palantir
For the "Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node" (Titan) project, Anduril is working together with the controversial big data company Palantir. The aim is to advance automated target acquisition with the help of AI and machine learning and enable precision shots over long distances. Titan is reminiscent of a large truck that has access to sensors in space, in the air and terrestrial sensors and provides target information over long distances. Titan is the logical extension of the killer robot Maven.
