Elbit Systems launches AI-based autonomous defence tech unit ROSH HAAYIN, Israel, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Elbit Systems ESLT.O ESLT.TA, Israel's largest defence firm, on Wednesday launched a unit called Fuse that will focus on AI-based defence technologies such as autonomous drones and other military systems.
Fuse consolidates Elbit's many defence technologies into one unit.
The company bought Israel's Blue White Robotics in May.
It unveiled its One2Many system powered by an AI operating system to coordinate autonomous swarms.
Company officials say Fuse has already received contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars, including a THOR drone system for the U.S. military through Mistral Inc and a number of deals in Europe.
