Accessible, High-Performance Autonomous AI
Оffers a breakthrough solution in the field of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) by developing energy-efficient, cloud-independent systems that can be deployed in both military and civilian environments. Our core technology, the SHI-ISHKA neural network (Smart Hybrid Infrastructure – Intelligent Sensing, Heuristic Knowledge Architecture), is a proprietary, modular AI platform capable of real-time multimodal data processing — including video, thermal imaging, LiDAR, audio, and radio signals.
Key Innovation
Unlike conventional AI systems that rely on cloud infrastructure and high-end chips, SHI-ISHKA is designed to run on compact, commercially available hardware, consuming as little as 7 watts — making it up to 2x more energy-efficient than competing solutions. This drastically reduces deployment costs and allows integration into low-resource environments.
Performance Metrics
● 10x faster decision-making than human operators in combat or surveillance scenarios.
● 5–10x lower AI training costs due to our proprietary dataset creation and rapid annotation methodology (over 35 hours of tactical video and synthetic military data).
● Effective on edge devices starting from 5+ TOPS (tera operations per second) without compromising performance.
● Compatible with a wide range of systems: drones, robotic turrets, ground vehicles, firearms, surveillance systems, smart homes, biotech, and agriculture devices.
Product Ecosystem
UkrSmartTech delivers AI-powered hardware and software solutions, including:
● Smart Scope: an AI-augmented rifle scope with "friend-or-foe" detection and automatic targeting (80 ms reaction time).
● Smart Turret: automated gun mount capable of real-time threat recognition and auto-engagement.
● Black Box: universal control module that upgrades legacy turrets into autonomous systems.
● SkyHunter: compact anti-drone system with autonomous targeting.
● Smart Mines & StarCraft Pagers: intelligent battlefield coordination and threat detection tools.
All solutions are built on modular architecture, allowing easy updates, customization, and integration. Our system can be deployed in both standalone and networked configurations, enabling collaborative AI where units share threat data and tactical insights.
Technology Differentiation
SHI-ISHKA is not a repackaged third-party neural network (e.g., YOLO or OpenCV). It’s custom-built from scratch to ensure licensing freedom, military-grade adaptability, and global exportability. Through deep optimization (code pruning, hardware-level instructions, native C++/Rust), SHI-ISHKA achieves real-time performance even on cost-efficient chipsets.
Civilian Application Readiness
Beyond defense, our AI solutions are designed for:
● Smart cities (traffic monitoring, environmental sensing),
● Healthcare (vital sign analytics, early diagnosis),
● Agriculture (crop health via thermal imaging),
● Security and surveillance (real-time video analysis, threat recognition),
● Industrial control (defect detection, predictive maintenance).
Summary
UkrSmartTech’s innovation lies in creating AI that is not only powerful but practical, scalable, and accessible. SHI-ISHKA delivers next-gen autonomy without the need for expensive infrastructure — paving the way for intelligent systems that can function under real-world constraints, including energy limitations, unreliable internet, or battlefield disruption. - Advantages and Innovations
-
We offer cutting-edge AI technology through its proprietary SHI-ISHKA neural network — a lightweight, energy-efficient, and real-time AI architecture optimized for deployment on affordable edge hardware.
⚙️ Core Technical Advantages:
● Ultra-fast Video Recognition: 10–20 ms per frame, enabling rapid detection and response in dynamic environments.
● High-precision Recognition: Minimum object size of 10 pixels for reliable small-object detection.
● Real-time Data Throughput: Up to 60 FPS processing with full autonomy — no cloud dependency.
● Ultra-low Power Consumption: Consumes just up to 7 watts, doubling efficiency compared to typical solutions.
● Lightweight Form Factor: Complete system weighs only 80g, ideal for mobile, aerial, and embedded applications.
🧠 Innovation in Neural Network Architecture:
● Custom-designed AI models tailored to specific defense and industrial tasks, rather than using third-party neural networks.
● Advanced optimization techniques including distillation, pruning, and the addition of expert layers — improving speed, accuracy, and hardware compatibility.
● Real-time streaming pipelines for seamless deployment in surveillance, targeting, and decision-making systems.
● Hardware efficiency breakthroughs:
○ CPU load reduced from 82% to 10%
○ NPU load cut from 90% to 42%
○ System temperature dropped from 81°C to 62°C, reducing the need for heavy-duty cooling.
○ Power consumption reduced from 15W to 8.2W
○ Minimum viable hardware reduced from 40 TOPS to 5+ TOPS, expanding deployability across more platforms
🔄 SHI-ISHKA = Performance + Portability
The result is a system that runs on widely available chipsets while delivering performance comparable to high-end military AI — but at a fraction of the cost, power, and integration complexity. SHI-ISHKA unlocks AI capabilities for sectors previously limited by energy or hardware constraints.
This makes UkrSmartTech a leader in accessible, real-time autonomous intelligence. - Stage of Development
