Looks like Raytheon have updated/upgraded the Stormbeaker smart weapons system developed and integrated in 2018.

Its interesting how the below fits the description of what Steve Brightfield said RTX/AKIDA was doing.
" The StormBreaker® smart weapon gives operators an upper hand in combat by hitting moving targets in some of the worst weather conditions. The winged munition autonomously detects and classifies moving targets in poor visibility situations caused by darkness, bad weather, smoke or dust kicked up by helicopters.Poor weather and battlefield obscurants continue to endanger warfighters as adversaries rely on these conditions to escape attacks. This has established the requirement for an all-weather solution that enhances warfighters' capabilities when visibility is limited."
"Fewer, more effective aircraft
The StormBreaker weapon's small size enables the use of fewer aircraft to take out the same number of targets as larger weapons that require multiple jets. The weapon can also fly more than 45 miles to strike mobile targets, reducing the amount of time that aircrews spend in harm's way. "
My bold. Interestingly a small SWAP enables a smaller weapon. AKIDA enables a small SWAP.
This weapon hits moving targets. We have been told that Raytheon and Brainchip and Raytheon are taking this a step further with a competition to land a Drone on a moving truck.
All very interesting.

StormBreaker gives operators an edge in combat by engaging moving targets even in the toughest conditions. This winged smart weapon autonomously detects and classifies targets in low-visibility environments caused by darkness, adverse weather, smoke, or dust.
