As Hartpunkt columnist Waldemar Geiger writes, the HX-2 tests included intensive flight programs: for two years, up to 30 aircraft were tested every week to work out systems and design solutions. German engineers also received satisfactory feedback from the Ukrainian military, so the co-founder of Helsing, Niklas Köhler, believes that this barrage ammunition is well designed and does not need optimization.
However, at the same time, Helsing is betting on the development of HX-2 software and artificial intelligence algorithms. And although the company's management emphasizes that there are no plans to improve the aerodynamic platform yet, the improvements will be mainly software and related to increasing the accuracy of targets, adapting to difficult weather conditions (gusts of wind that reduce accuracy) and recognizing countermeasures (for example, smoke screens).
To calibrate the AI models, the company creates a virtual training environment: according to the developers, it takes about 3-4 thousand flights in the test environment to work out the algorithms. HX-2 (Helsing) - tactical and technical characteristics of HX-2 (Helsing) The device is equipped with built-in target recognition and can work in the absence of GNSS, comparing the received terrain images with downloaded maps.
