Technological and scientific knowledge has always had a dual moral aspect.
It cannot be said that certain knowledge is good or bad in itself. This is determined by the type of use to be given. More precisely, the use of a combination drones, robotics and artificial intelligence in a new weapon of war this is very disturbing.
Drones are still flying robots equipped with sensors, actuators and a controller system that are rapidly gaining intelligence in new models. The cover image shows us the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper combat drone, originally known as the Predator B: an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by the American company General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.
These types of drones for military applications will become smaller, cheaper, smarter and more lethal, and that’s not a good thing.
Man has been using the series for years an intelligent autonomous weapon capable of killing people in a very complex and efficient way, and we can face a qualitative leap in this type of technology.
Israel Aeroespace Industries (IAI) presents the Mini Harpy
One of these systems can be considered halfway between a missile and a drone: the incredible Mini Harpy kamikaze drone.
This kamikaze drone is capable of patrolling areas, detecting targets using various strategies and transmitting video to the operator. The device can be launched from land and sea positions, as well as from helicopters. So, its main characteristics are:
• Neutralizing threats that emit radiation, such as radars and other systems.
• Electro-optical threat detection: high-quality video images for the operator.
• Launch from a wide range of mobile land and sea platforms.
• Various tools per unit area.
Before us is a type of weapon, the effectiveness of which is reflected in the video. It provides complete independence in gathering intelligence for tactical upgrades, and worst of all, we are talking about a very effective and inexpensive attack system.
Apart from these particular weapons, we are facing a new technological scenario for all kinds of war scenarios.
we have already seen which can cause the use of a simple toy in the immediate vicinity of an airport.
The truth is that drones, whether we like it or not, present such a potential danger. Airspace, civilian use of domestic drones and drones for professional use represent a breakthrough technology that will undergo significant changes in a few years.
There is no stopping these technological advances, and they are happening at breakneck speed right now.
In all these new scenarios, good sense and common sense are needed, a very scarce commodity in an information society where fallibility and morbidness spread faster than truth, rigor and common sense. And especially, it is recommended to know the current regulations in detail, to know where and how drones can be operated, always in airspace authorized by law for drones.
