Nvidia Jetson chip found in Russian cruise missile, Ukraine claims — presence in S-71 'Monochrome' weapon may indicate use of AI tech
Ukraine intelligence claims that Russia's latest S-71 'Monochrome' cruise missiles use Nvidia's Jetson Orin NX modules with AI capabilities, allegedly for terminal guidance.
Ukrainian intelligence claims that Russia's latest S-71 Monochrome cruise missile utilizes Nvidia's Jetson Orin modules, which possess artificial intelligence capabilities. The S-71 Monochrome is noted for its reduced observability and autonomous targeting. The Jetson Orin is a consumer-grade device not officially available in Russia, despite Nvidia's claims.
The module found in the missile bears markings resembling the Jetson Orin NX 8GB/16GB system-on-module, indicating Nvidia's technology may be used in the missile's electro-optical perception system. This system aids in real-time image recognition and terminal guidance, potentially assisting in the missile's guidance system.
