The Hornet unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a strike UAV of the type

classed as a loitering munition with autonomous navigation

and elements of artificial intelligence.

The Hornet's key feature is a combination of satellite navigation with

inertial-optical odometry, an advanced optoelectronic system

for target acquisition and acquisition based on AI, and the use of non-standard

encrypted data transmission frequencies. As a result, the UAV has learned to fly autonomously along a route, minimizing the need for a constant communication channel

with the operator and significantly reducing the effectiveness of standard electronic warfare systems and

radio detectors.
