Russian developers have created a prototype combat helmet with AI elements.

This is how the Ratnik-3 equipment was presented in 2018.

Russian developers have created a prototype combat helmet with artificial intelligence elements. It can analyze the battlefield situation and provide soldiers with vital information, including the location of both "our" and the enemy. The new device was demonstrated at the People's Front.

According to the developers themselves, they have embedded an AI module into a combat helmet dubbed "Soratnik." The module receives data from the soldier's helmet camera, other soldiers in the unit, and drones, analyzes them, and displays the balance of forces on the battlefield. It can also transmit images from the UAV to a special screen mounted on the helmet.

We've integrated an AI module into the technology, so to speak, of the ammunition of the future. This product, this complex, is called "Soratnik."

- leads TASS words of a representative of the development team.

For now, this is a prototype, developed by designers in St. Petersburg and Moscow. No other details are available yet.

It's worth noting that the Russian army currently uses the second-generation Ratnik combat gear, which is gradually incorporating elements of the third-generation Sotnik combat gear, developed by Rostec. The Russian army was expected to begin receiving the first Sotnik components in 2025, but the SVO has significantly accelerated their implementation, including the drones, new body armor, new uniforms, and equipment components.

I have already seen this at exhibitions; I would like to see this product in active troops, even in limited quantities.

We're probably champions of prototyping and development. There's just one caveat: we're stuck with one-off prototypes. That's the preserve of underdeveloped, non-industrialized countries.

[voyaka uh]

That's the difference between invention and
innovation.
Innovation is an invention that is widely implemented into life.
Russia is a country of inventions, but not a country of innovation.

Far from certain. If there are no production samples, it's not at all clear that another embezzlement hasn't occurred. The money was allocated, what was done, everyone realized it was essentially worthless, but they hyped it up as another miracle. Without industrial production, all these inventions mean nothing.

"Without industrial production, all these inventions mean nothing."

That's what I wrote about. Innovation implies industrial production of an invention. Without industrial production, it's impossible to "widely implement" anything.

[qQQQ]

Quote: voyaka uh

I wrote about this.

What I meant was that without industrial production, an invention is not an invention, because there is no confirmation of its functionality.

[Lauren]

Did you live there for long, after moving/escaping to Israel, to write profound opuses? And the development will be implemented.

[Azimutt]

You probably have a vague idea of ​​the full development path from prototype to serial production.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Or maybe it's better to go to the government first? I'm clueless, so maybe AI can give me some pointers?

[Drone]

Where are you supposed to give them? What if they get lost? It's safer in the warehouse. But according to the reports, they'll be sent to the army.

[ssz]

I wonder how long the charge lasts under intense combat conditions and how easy it is to locate all of this.

[akropin]

Ideally, and without further ado, charging should be done via a battery and the soldier's own body heat. It's entirely possible to think about how to use the zero-layer clothing as a power source.

[WapentakeLokki]

Maybe we shouldn't (for now) multiply entities... make a backpack with a hole (better, of course, a diesel one) and use it on the march... and in the attack, the APU (meaning the auxiliary power unit) is disconnected and already on batteries... into battle... and yes, the APU could make an option for an autonomous module to follow the Exo (carrying the APU units on itself)... what's the difficulty... or do we immediately need a Gravity Cap on our ash-heap???

[NakedMan]

It probably holds a charge just as well as a radio, for example, and has the same tracking capabilities. But knowing the enemy's position from the cameras of other soldiers and drones would still be a big plus.

[multi-category]

What about chain of command? If a soldier's helmet whispers in his ear what to do, doesn't a superior need him?
Is it time to repeal the charter? How could the Ministry of Defense come up with such a development?

[Larkis]

What about "Ratnik-3"? Why didn't it go into production? Or is it like Fedor the robot?!

i.e. "Sotnik" + "Warrior" = "Comrade-in-arms"?

[Yuri_I]

Centurion"+"Warrior"="Comrade-in-arms"

The main thing is that he doesn't end up as an ally))))

[NakedMan]

Or, if I were to lie a little, it would be "gatekeeper" :D

Sorry, I hope it turns out to be a truly useful thing that will go into production.

[WapentakeLokki]

In the meantime, it's ZaVratnik...and on ''0'', the guys are buying up Made in Chana armor tiles with their $$$...

[matwey]

Usually this is what those (previous comments) say who have this kind of experience in life.

[gridasov]

It's important to understand that augmented reality always borders on distorted reality. Therefore, when people don't understand what defines intelligence and what mathematical principles can support big data analysis, their conclusions must be taken with caution. Many now intuitively understand that the AI ​​currently being positioned isn't about generating variable and optimized data-intensive events in relation to specific tasks and goals, but rather about simply working with existing archives and data. And these are very energy-intensive processes.

This could be the implementation of basic recognition and solid resistance to electronic warfare.

Artificial Intelligence as a Necessity for Fifth-Generation and Future Communication Networks – Telecommunications Magazine
AI technologies are expected to be used to address the challenges of monitoring and managing traffic in communications networks. The need to implement such resource-intensive data processing technologies arose from the requirement for network infrastructure to be dynamic and adaptable to changing conditions.

[gridasov]

I believe that resistance to electronic warfare depends on expanding the operational capabilities of device components. This means new energy density regulation devices and an understanding of the principles of electromagnetic pulse modulation based on the introduction of a new real parameter. Simply put, this means that any electromagnetic circuit has two fundamental symmetries, and the part that generates current modulations must generate a rotating torque. This must be a current-inducing device with a low parasitic self-induction effect.

[Spiidii]

It's weak in my opinion. Ghana demonstrated a domestically developed military exoskeleton back in 2019. They've probably already put it into service.

Cap 2025 )))

[Kmet]

An interesting model! The noise immunity of the data transmission channels is also of interest – a very important element.

[solovjoff]

Without having your own decent electronics, it’s hard to believe in something decent and properly networked.
