Sweden has entered the forefront of autonomous warfare, testing a new drone-swarming system with Saab that allows a single operator to manage up to 100 drones. Trialed during the Arctic Strike Exercise in March 2025, the program highlights Sweden’s growing defense capabilities as NATO’s newest member—mirroring a broader international shift toward AI-powered military swarms.

The US Navy is enhancing laser weapon technology with AI to improve precision against drone swarm threats. By automating target identification and tracking, this system reduces reliance on human operators while addressing modern warfare challenges.
