Quadrupeds being reviewed have automatic targeting systems but require human oversight to fire.
we are living in the future! the terrifying, horrific future!
Hey, fuck this noise.
Welp, here comes skynet
Turkey has the STM Kargu, which reportedly was devastating in the most recent # Nagorno-Karabakh fighting, as the autonomous suicide drone can’t be jammed
Ukrainian units have (reportedly) already loaded ‘final approach’ AI target tracking and flight controls on their suicide FPV & glider drones, to counter Russian RF jammers mounted on tanks and heavy vehicles
We really, really aren’t prepared for the threat vector that cheap (sub $500/ea for FPV) and autonomous drones provide, and every RF engineer and drone enthusiast I’ve spoken to has no good counter aside from barriers like nets. And that’s just the ones that fly their bombs INTO things, drone-dropped explosives are hard to detect without thermal imagers or specialized radar/acoustic detection
Soon we’ll have autonomous drone hunter drones. And then drone hunter hunters. And drone hunter hunter hunters. And so on. The future will be wild.
Get them in operation now!
I guess poison injecting spiders, and bullets that chase you are next. I want to go back to when this was just sci-fi.
Do they also shoot tracker tacks?
Please, give them a mouth with toxin injecting teeth, and I’ll get my flamethrower and play Guy Montag.
Would anti drone guns work on these?
