According to the developers, Lanius is a nimble, fast quadcopter with AI-based reconnaissance, mapping and target-classification capabilities. If necessary it can explode.<\/p>\n

Lanius is equipped with numerous sensors, cameras, and a Nvidia Jetson system. This enables the device to rapidly collect and process data with low power consumption.<\/p>\n

The maximum take-off mass of Lanius is 1.25 kg, including lethal or non-lethal payloads up to 150 g.<\/p>\n

The lithium battery provides a maximum flight time of around seven minutes.<\/p>\n

Lanius is designed to enter an area and autonomously scan space. It can detect and mark objects such as doors and windows, enter buildings and search them.<\/p>\n

It can also locate people and attempt to classify them as friendly or hostile, military or civilian, armed or unarmed. If a threat is detected, the device will offer the operator the option to \u201cstrike\u201d the target.<\/p>\n

Elbit Systems stressed that the drone cannot make autonomous decisions about neutralising targets. A human is always involved in the process.<\/p>\n

In September, Israel deployed the AI turret<\/a> on the West Bank of the Jordan River.<\/p>\n

In October, a similar system was spotted<\/a> near the Al-Arub refugee camp not far from Hebron.<\/p>\n
