Israel’s AI XTEND Drones to Be Deployed in Middle East, Ukraine
Israeli company, XTEND, is deploying AI-assisted XTEND drones and robotics in combat zones throughout the Middle East and Ukraine.
The XTEND AI drones technologies will transform military operations in the Middle East, particularly in Israel’s war on Lebanon and Palestinians, as well as Ukraine, delivering accessible solution for training and operations as drone warfare rises in 2024.
As drone warfare escalated globally, XTEND’s US-made AI-driven drones are taking on key roles in the Middle East where Israel’s deadly operations are unfolding.
By simplifying the complexity of drone operations through its innovative XOS platform, XTEND Israel done is on a core mission is to make drone piloting more accessible. Soldiers and operators can master flying drones in just a few hours, reducing training time by up to 99%.
Beyond military use, XTEND drones technology also provides the military more versatility for various applications throughout Israel’s Middle Eastern wars.
XTEND’s built-in operating system (OS), XOS, allows users to control drones with ease for mission execution with just a top on smartphones. Powered by AI, XOS gives operators the authority to make real-time, on-the-spot decisions, in dynamic environments.
Despite the Israeli company’s approach of marketing the killer AI drone as beneficial to industries like humanitarian services and rescue missions, in addition to its detrimental military capacity, experts are raising the alarms on its use in conflict zones, especially the Middle East.
The deployment of one killer AI XTEND drone in regions from Ukraine to the Middle East is providing Israeli soldiers on the battlefield with tactical advantages that is enabling more efficient and lethal operations against civilians, as we have seen in the past throughout Israel’s attack on Palestinians and Lebanon populations.
The dehumanization of Arabs, often reduced to mere statistics in Israel’s war on Lebanese and Palestinian population has demonstrated the harsh reality on how AI and drones in modern warfare is impacting vulnerable populations, without any discrimination.
`Mobility Beyond War
While more targeted than conventional ground-based weapons, AI XTEND drone has also been adapted for disaster recovery use. Initially designed for precision targeting in wars, an AI XTEND drone has also found its way into humanitarian efforts.
For example, Xtend deployed a drone with AI during the Turkey earthquake, helping in search and rescue missions by locating survivors in places where rescue workers were unable to reach. Co-Founder, Shapira, noted how the scope of XTEND’s technology is hardly limited to a single field.
“Our drones are able to fly with plenty of different tools: robotics arms, Wi Fi extenders, whatever needed according to the mission,” Shapira said.
Disguised as Humanitarian, Cherished as Killing Machines
According to the company, the drones tackle nonlinear by nature operational tasks, as well as testing and using tech advancements, revealing that tactics must not to be the only field where AI can be used.
Xtend claims that AI and drones destroy borders and create relationships without warfare and do much more than simply prevent lives.
This is not the case of what is going on in Palestine and Lebanon, where XTEND drones are dominantly, and evidently only used for military purposes.
XTEND, the Israeli-American company, presents its drones as tool for protection and life-saving machines, but in Palestine and Lebanon, we see a different painting and presentation.
As much as Israel likes to frame their use as defensive, critics argue that these advanced death machines are contributing to massive disproportionate violence in the Middle East. With American funding supporting Israel’s tech and military dominance, Palestinians and Lebanese alike, who have limited power, face devastating consequence and outcomes in Israel’s ongoing simultaneous wars, with daily killings of no less than 20 civilians per day.
XTEND-AI, along with other Israeli systems like Spike and Hermes – in addition to an extended list – account to large amounts to acts of murder and in some cases terrorism, rather than self-defense. On top of it, such military conduct is often portrayed by the Western media as life-saving tools, contributing to the on-going production and proliferation of these death machines.
