Ukraine is utilizing a massive archive of 2 million hours of drone footage to train artificial intelligence systems for battlefield operations in its war against Russia. The footage, collected by over 15,000 drone crews since 2022, is being processed through the OCHI system, which centralizes and analyzes video feeds.
Oleksandr Dmitriev, founder of OCHI, highlighted the significance of this data, calling it “food for the AI.” With up to six terabytes of new data added daily, the archive is invaluable for training AI to recognize battlefield objects, identify targets, and improve weapon accuracy.
