Jerusalem Post columnist, author and drone expert Seth Frantzman revealed at a webinar for the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) on July 15.
On the Israeli side, the author of the recently published book “Drone Wars: Pioneers, Killing Machines, Artificial Intelligence, and the Battle for the Future”, told the audience how Israel had, for the first time in combat, used artificial intelligence to gather real-time data from multiple observation drones into what’s called “drone swarm” intelligence pools, giving the IDF the ability to respond to the source of Gazan rocket fire almost immediately.
