NATO drills test AI-enabled sensor-to-shooter command network (Saber Junction 26)

The post claims NATO exercises (Sword 26/Saber Junction 26) are testing an AI-supported command-and-control network that fuses data from sensors, drones, and partially autonomous platforms to accelerate the “detect-to-engage” kill chain. If accurate, this reflects a push toward algorithmic C2 and multi-layer counter-drone integration as an operational concept rather than isolated trials.
