(snip)

Among the Replicator systems selected and disclosed so far are AeroVironment’s anti-armor Switchblade 600, Anduril Industries’ reconnaissance and attack drone Ghost-X, and Performance Drone Works’ C-100. The Pentagon also has selected seven companies to provide software support for Replicator’s autonomy and command and control but hasn’t disclosed them.

Ghost-X
Performance Drone Works’ C-100

I'm not negating what Ukraine is doing. I am saying that the Pentagon selected specific hardware to use and is trying to shoe-horn in what is IMMATURE so-called "AI" into them to perform at some level that they have demanded in their contract Statements of Work.
