Sabotage as a Service (SaaS)
National Security Hackathon (by Army xTech)Autonomous drones sit on 2 extremes, ISR and kinetic effects. We aimed to explore the large gap in between those 2 capabilities. We built a drone capable of surgical sabotage (placing payload on enemy assets) and environment manipulation (opening control panels) through a robotic arm, all on-device. We build an autonomous drone with a robotic arm and fully on-board compute (Jetson) running a quantized LLM acting as the reasoning layer, allowing the drone to autonomously generate mission plans and execute both in drone navigation and dexterous manipulation. The ai brain takes natural language commands and converts them to low-level control primitives and analyses camera feeds for object detection and navigation.
