The rocks on the border got wings: The IDF's new weapon revealed

FUSE, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, has unveiled new autonomous weapon systems already in use by the IDF. The system includes AI drones disguised in rock-like capsules along the border, waiting to detect infiltration and capable of independently attacking and activating additional tools, against the backdrop of the lessons of October 7.

FUSE, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, unveiled last night new autonomous weapon systems already in use by the IDF. The main system presented includes AI drones disguised in capsules resembling rocks, sand dunes, and other terrain features, installed along the Gaza border. The drones are in charged capsules ready for activation in any weather and visibility conditions, and can remain on standby for months and years. In the event of a ground incursion toward Israel, the system can be activated with a single button press. The development comes against the backdrop of the failure of the IDF's 'see-shoot' systems on October 7, 2023, when Hamas explosive drones managed to disable the defense systems. The display also showcased additional capabilities: autonomous logistics convoys for evacuating wounded, maneuver systems with personal and squad weapons, and drones with a flight range of over one hundred kilometers. The company produces the systems for the IDF and other armies worldwide, aiming to turn the battlefield into a war between robots and autonomous tools.
