Uvision Launches CORTEX AI Battle Management System for Drone Swarms
Israeli defense firm Uvision unveiled the CORTEX AI-powered battle management system at ILA Berlin 2026 on June 1. The system integrates sensors, AI decision support, and Uvision's loitering munitions (HERO, VIPER, PEREGRINE) into a unified framework for multi-domain operations. CORTEX automates lower-level coordination, enabling a small team to manage simultaneous strikes across air, land, and maritime domains while reducing cognitive overload. Its open architecture allows integration with external command systems and third-party sensors.

ILA 2026: World Premiere of Uvision's CORTEX Active System for Multi-Domain Operations
Israeli loitering munition specialist Uvision is unveiling the CORTEX active system at ILA 2026, a software-based platform designed for combat reconnaissance and mission management in multi-domain operations. CORTEX integrates sensors, decision-making processes, and effectors into a unified battlefield ecosystem, aiming to shorten the sensor-to-shooter cycle and reduce operator cognitive load. The system features a modular architecture with layers for sensing, fusion and decision-making, and response execution, supported by artificial intelligence. It enables dynamic mission coordination across air, land, and sea domains, including urban combat and border protection. CORTEX connects to C4I and Battle Management Systems, integrates IFF to prevent friendly fire, and allows human-in-the-loop oversight. It can also incorporate third-party sensors and effectors, and includes logistics management and restricted area designation. The system shifts operators from direct platform control to higher-level mission monitoring from a safe distance.
