And launching munitions from well out of visual range. It is like he is advocating for some sort of 3D CCTV in real time on all critical airspace … ?! I mean, ‘impractical’ doesn’t begin to describe it…
AI loyal wingman type drones will do a few things before they become full self sufficient warfighting platforms.
- aerial refuelling tankers (keep the manned planes flying longer)
- radar platforms (fly into danger and give the manned planes better awareness)
- missile trucks (fly into danger and fire at the targets the manned planes give them)-
The big one stopping AI drones making fire decisions is fallibility of the programming. Do you trust a computer to kill people because it thought it was a good idea?
We might see commands like “fly to this place and kill any targets within this specified area of airspace”, but it’s an ethical nightmare. Probably this will be pushed forward by China and then the Western airforces will activate similar programming.
