Swedish startup Scaleout Systems showed off an autonomous loitering munition, built on a BAE Systems Bofors airframe, that used onboard AI running on an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano to detect, rank and strike an armored vehicle without human guidance mid-mission. The demo, part of NATO's DIANA-backed ALMA and FEDAIR programs, completed the full flight in under 320 seconds using no external communications, relying instead on locally trained computer-vision models shared via a 'Tactical Computer Vision Network.' A human pilot remained available as a failsafe but was not required once the mission began.

Ugreen unveiled a lineup of smart home hubs built around on-device AI processing, topped by the MasterAgent MA100, which runs on Nvidia's Jetson Thor platform with 128GB of unified memory and delivers up to 2,070 TOPS of performance. The flagship carries a $20,000 list price, though early buyers can get it at half off, while the entire hub lineup supports ONVIF and Matter devices with Zigbee and Thread support planned, and includes NAS-style storage bays requiring user-supplied SATA drives.

Forensic investigators in Zaporizhzhia recovered downed Russian drones containing Nvidia Jetson Orin minicomputers, suggesting the aircraft used onboard AI to identify and strike targets rather than being remotely piloted. The drones lacked antennas or radio signals, and Ukrainian officials say one struck propane tanks near a gas station with precision consistent with autonomous targeting. UN and Red Cross leaders separately warned this week that autonomous weapons targeting humans cross a dangerous moral line.
