"AUKUS moving from nuke subs to AI drone swarms"

"Australia-UK-US alliance accelerating cooperation across high-tech fields toward aim of defeating China in a potential conflict"

From https://asiatimes.com/  |  article by GABRIEL HONRADA | MAY 27, 2023.

"From nuclear submarines to hypersonic weapons, AUKUS is now developing AI-powered drone swarms and target identification capabilities that may prove decisive in a Taiwan Strait conflict."

"Breaking Defense reported that the UK Ministry of Defense (MOD) announced the first-of-its-kind AI and autonomy trial for aerial and ground vehicles occurred last month, with several claimed 'world firsts' at the event showcasing AUKUS Pillar 2’s capabilities."

"AUKUS’ advanced technology-sharing follows a two-pillar framework. Pillar 1 is a trilateral effort focused on supporting Australia to build a nuclear attack submarine (SSN) fleet."

"In contrast, Pillar 2 focuses on accelerating cooperation in several high-tech fields such as cyber capabilities, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, hypersonics and counter-hypersonics."

Pillar 1 = Atomic powered attack submarines. Pillar 2 = High technology war making technology.

High-tech to include mini or micro UAV operating in the SWARM mode of attack.
