New AI tech will allow military drones to decide who to kill, experts warn warfare will go “from fighting to EXTERMINATION”
A recent announcement from the U.S. army about new drone technology is adding a new dimension to the ongoing ethical debate about drones. The army said it’s developing drones that have the power to target people and vehicles using artificial intelligence, taking human involvement entirely out of the equation. Military drones are currently controlled by […]

DARPA developing neural interface technology to connect soldiers to advanced military systems and weapons wirelessly
Ever wonder what the U.S. military’s own researchers are working on at the moment? Online reports indicate that one of their latest projects involves the use of neural interfaces, specifically non-invasive ones that would allow soldiers to connect with computers and other electronic systems both digitally and wirelessly. This information is based on a pre-solicitation […]

Infantry units under increased risk from drone attacks
There is a looming threat to military service members that could result in plenty of casualties. This threat comes in the form of small drones, particularly small unmanned aircraft systems (sUASs) which can be operated quite easily without the need for human pilots. Colloquially, they are referred to as drones, and can be purchased quickly […]

Autonomous – and armed: U.S. Army tests self-driving “Wingman” truck to see if it can identify and shoot targets accurately
For the first time, the United States Army has begun the testing of a ground-based robot that can shoot at specified targets with a .50-caliber top-mounted machine gun. It’s a self-driving vehicle called the “Wingman”. It’s part of a broader program and initiative to develop other armed robotic vehicles just like it. According to reports on […]

Israeli company unveils AI-controlled turret machine gun that rides on top of military vehicles, can kill all targets in 360-degree radius
As more and more countries around the world start to introduce UAVs, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, onto the battlefield, the development of technology that can effectively counter those UAVs is becoming increasingly important. Due to the fact that drones do not require an onboard pilot and can often be equipped with guns or even missiles, […]
