Helsing Launches HX-2 Autonomous Strike Drone, Pivoting from $4.5 Billion Software Focus Amid Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Dec 5, 2024, 04:40 PM
Helsing, a European artificial intelligence company, has launched its HX-2 autonomous strike drone, responding to the increasing demand for autonomous weaponry amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The HX-2 drones are designed to serve as counter-invasion shields, providing defense along borders and against hostile ground forces. This move marks a significant shift for Helsing, which had previously focused on software solutions to modernize European military capabilities. The company has built a $4.5 billion business on this software pledge but is now pivoting towards a fleet of attack drones to enhance military readiness.
