Dusseldorf The Black Hornet is eleven centimeters long, has one rotor and can be launched from the palm of your hand. What sounds like a toy is actually a surveillance drone for use in war.
Ukraine has been at war against the aggressor Russia for a year and a half. And new technologies and artificial intelligence are also unfolding their disruptive power here. In the new episode of Handelsblatt Disrupt, Larissa Holzki, Team Leader AI at Handelsblatt, talks to security and defense expert Ulrike Franke about the use of new military technologies that are fundamentally changing warfare.
Since February 24, 2022, the research work of the scientist has changed fundamentally. Since then, the expert has been supposed to analyze live almost every day in news broadcasts how the war and the technologies used are developing.
Wars always give innovations a boost, says Ulrike Franke. “Things suddenly become possible in war that are either not possible at all in peacetime or take 20 times as long.” In the podcast, she talks about the defense capabilities of European countries, why cooperation between the defense ministries and private companies such as Google and Amazon is essential and what opportunities and risks she sees for new technologies in the military context.
