Wow! I’ll bet you could fit a lot of those in an aircraft carrier. If each one could carry 1lb of HE, fewer than half surviving to the target would equal just over two Hellfire missiles.
Pretty sure I could make that entire swarm go dumb in about 15 seconds.For every advance in warfare someone inevitably comes up with a counter to it, and nowadays we don't even have to wait for weapons to be fielded to have countermeasures developed in some cases.
Or at least ensure they’d only ever be able to produce daughters...Pretty sure I could make that entire swarm go dumb in about 15 seconds.
. Everything can be countered, jammed, or hacked with enough effort.
There is an active area of research in mathematics and computer science involving Formal Verification Methods. A brief overview Quanta Article - Hacker-Proof Code Confirmed. This doesn't mean we are letting machines fight as someone would still pilot the drones or other technological advances, but the systems are designed to ensure they can't be hacked into or if one part of the system is hacked into, it is mathematically impossible to move into other areas of the system. Complexity quickly scales as the entire system needs to be designed in this manner from the hardware up. I believe in the article I linked or I read elsewhere there is a research team working on these solutions DeepSepc.
Ask the Germans how the hack proof Enigma machine worked for them!
Jesus Christ. Y’all are acting like you’re the only ones to have thought of “networks can be hacked”. No shit. We’ve all seen “Battlestar”.
And yet we still get folks who claim systems can be 'hack proof', the worrisome part is that folks higher up the food chain will believe stuff like that and think UAV's are ready for far more than just reducing risk right now.
