Robotic Tank is Coming to Warfare Combat

serf


I am guessing this vehicle will be able to be autonomous in open warfare, just like the new drones flying with a fighter wings in The Air Force. This is a huge step into a skynet like operation given enough time and effort by DARPA with A.I. technology

You have to take the human out of the equation unless you use laser light to convey information in a microwave denial areas for command decisions.

That we can get this far already is a testament to the dedication and passion of the Army to giving our Soldiers the best capabilities possible. This is a great day for our Army, as we make another important step in learning how we can employ robotic vehicles into our future formations.”

    Taking the human out of the equation and out of danger is a danger unto itself.

    If there is no risk to our people, it is conceivable and likely that force will be used when other options remain available.

    We face the same problem with the militarization of our police forces.

    Exactly, Don. Just look at how convenient it was for Obama to use drones for attacks when we wouldn't have wanted to put humans in harm's way to do the same task.


    This is one time I actually agree with Serf, it's moving us ever closer to a skynet scenario. Not that I think computers will go off on their own accord, but that governments will attack even their own citizens with zero concern over whether the police/military will comply with unconstitutional orders.

    I wonder how long it will take a terrorist hacker to get into the control system of a robotank.
