KRET presents AI-equipped Saturn-10 and Saturn-30 drones

Bottom line

KRET presents Saturn-10 and Saturn-30 drones with fully domestic components and AI-based autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance.

Why it matters

AI-based autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance reduce the need for continuous operator input, increasing the operational tempo and survivability of Russian loitering munitions in dense air defense environments.

KRET has presented the Saturn-10 (10kg, 30min loiter) and Saturn-30 (30kg, 1hr loiter, 7kg payload) drones. Both systems feature fully domestic components and AI-based autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and are currently in flight testing.
