SpaceX Enters Secretive Pentagon Contest To Build Voice-Controlled Drone Swarm Tech: Report
Last week, we asked whether Anthropic's AI tool, Claude, played a role in the kill chain during the U.S. Delta Force raid targeting Maduro last month. We've also reported on the Department of War's search for "war unicorn" startups, and what appears to us to be the early innings of the rise of dual-use technologies - from humanoid robots to drones - reshaping the modern battlefield.
A new Bloomberg report states that Elon Musk's SpaceX and its wholly owned subsidiary, xAI, are competing in a classified DoW contest to develop voice-controlled, autonomous drone-swarming technology. This report is based solely on "people familiar with the effort."
The people describe the DoW content as lasting for 6 months with an end price of $100 million. The aim is to use chatbots to direct commands to drones across multiple domains, air and sea, to complete a set of missions.
