South Korea’s Nearthlab has launched a next-gen attack drone that carries mortar shells and coordinates strikes in AI-driven swarms.
Known as XAiDEN, the platform is designed to neutralize drones, vehicles, and other moving targets using onboard intelligence and autonomous coordination. It follows last year’s KAiDEN interceptor drone, but shifts from air defense to multi-target offensive roles.
It can operate in swarms of 10, requiring only one communication-enabled leader drone to allow the rest to function autonomously in GPS- or comms-denied environments.
