Can't wait until the libs start protesting destroyed robots....HANG THE PROGRAMMERS ALERT!!!!!!
Can't wait until the libs start protesting destroyed robots....Skynet and/or the cylons are coming.
Actually, the day may be coming when the computers can out dog fight a pilot.
This little problem can be easily handled. Military budget cuts of 25% will go a long way toward crippling this capability.
Somebody clear a space beside the "electricity will be too cheap to meter" plaque.
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
There is already one in the California Governors Mansion. Maintenance has been shoddy however and errors have crept in to its programming.
These high flying drone aircraft are hard to see and hard to hear. They are out there 24X7, and the Al Quida leadership are afraid do much of anything for fear of a Hell Fire missile coming right down their throats.
...and Hell Fire is an apt name for the destruction that is hunting them.
I’m disappointed that Israel doesn’t have a major robotic component online in support of its current ground offensive.
Only a few troops, perhaps 1 percent, will actually direct aimed fire at the enemy with the intent to kill. These troops are treasured, and set apart, and called snipers.What BS.
Maybe only 1% are good enough to be snipers... that doesn't mean only 1% "actually direct aimed fire at the enemy".
What total BS.
So, I think the advice to kids should be that if they want to be soldiers in the future, they need to stay indoors and play more videogames, rather than going outside and getting in shape, learning how to shoot etc.
I doubt we’ll ever truly go to a system where the the robot vehicles are making trigger-pulling decisions. More likely, there’ll be some guys in a bunker in Nevada who each control a dozen or so robot aircraft or ground vehicles. Like in real-time strategic video game, they’ll direct their vehicles to perform certain missions, using as many vehicles as they may need at any given time.
From our enemies’ point of view, this will be incredibly demoralizing. If you don’t even have a chance to kill Americans, the whole Jihad thing becomes a bit of a bummer.
As none of the current weapons act autonomously, there really isn’t anything new. If you are viewing an IR picture from inside an airplane and take a shot based on what you see, how does it become “robotic” by making the wire (signal) between the sensor and the operator several thousand miles longer?
