Over on YouTube, Isaac Botkin of TREX LABS has uploaded a video discussing how he proposes to build an "AI Battle Buddy" with a built-in software-defined radio. The idea is to combine a wide frequency range software-defined radio with AI tools that automatically determine and alert the device owner when something interesting occurs in the radio spectrum.
Isaac gives example use cases for the device, such as alerts when jamming is detected, drone detection alerts, alerts when there is suddenly increased public safety radio traffic or if there are nearby public safety radio transmissions, and information about nearby aircraft and NOAA weather alerts.
The device is proposed to have no screen, but would simply give audio alerts via Bluetooth earpiece, or text alerts via smartphone or smart watch.
Ultimately, such a device has yet to be built for the general consumer market, but Isaac notes that AI-SDR devices like the Anduril Pulsar already exist for the military consumer.
