Shrike Nano: On-Body AI-Enabled Digital Fires from Unmanned Aircraft Feeds

Shrike Nano provides forward observers and small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) operators with an integrated solution to enhance target prosecution using sUAS video feeds and indirect fire systems. Operable within the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) ecosystem, Shrike Nano functions as a software plugin that interacts seamlessly with existing tools, including UAS Tool, Robot Picker, and Network Monitor. By utilizing either aided threat recognition (AiTR) or manual targeting workflows, along with passive single-camera geolocation, operators can nominate targets and correct shot placement via digital messaging to enterprise fires terminals such as the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). The system offers key advantages, including operator standoff capabilities, accurate geolocation, and streamlined fires messaging workflows, all while leveraging low-observable platforms. Shrike Nano seeks to bridge gaps in traditional targeting processes by providing a cohesive and efficient sensor-to-shooter workflow that reduces cognitive load and enables faster, more reliable fire missions at the tactical edge.
