How the Barracuda drone’s legacy flies on

Some 20 years ago, Airbus pioneers made a unique drone technology demonstrator fly in just 40 months. After six test campaigns, the Barracuda was retired. But its technologies will fly on - in two of Europe's largest defence projects: the Eurodrone and the Future Combat Air System.

US Air Force Tests Angry Kitten Jammer Pod on MQ-9

The 556th Test and Evaluation Squadron completed the first round of MQ-9A Reaper ground and flight testing with the Angry Kitten ALQ-167 Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) Pod.
The pod provides the MQ-9 elevated Electronic Attack (EA) capability against relevant ground and airborne threats. This capability enhances survivability for the Reaper and other friendly forces, and complicates adversary planning efforts.

...Earlier in April, the 556th TES also executed a Cold Integrated Combat Turn on an MQ-9 aircraft, which included simultaneous refueling and rearming of four hellfires. Overall, the event took less than 25 minutes, a record that crushes the standard three-hour typical turn time for the MQ-9 and only added 4 minutes to the previously demonstrated rapid refuel procedures that did not include weapon reloading. “The Cold Integrated Combat Turn furthers our validation efforts on the MQ-9 agile combat employment ACE.

El Ejército de Tierra busca munición merodeadora con un alcance de [entre 15 y] hasta 150 km

El plan inicial es utilizar este tipo de armamento en unidades de maniobra y en apoyo de fuegos
... el ET considera clave que la carga explosiva no vaya relacionada con el alcance (es decir, que no necesariamente el de corto alcance tenga menor carga)
... los ve muy interesantes contra vehículos acorazados. Y quiere que tengan guiado resiliente (resistente a EW) para garantizar trayectoria y precisión.
Apuesta por soluciones con capacidad para la discriminación de objetivos y de abortar la misión.

[Órdenes por voz pero para drones]
Military operators may soon be able to control overhead UAVs with just a quick word into a microphone.

Connecticut-based start-up Primordial Labs is developing what it calls a “tactical [artificial intelligence AI] assistant” ANURA the company says will enable troops to coordinate the movement and actions of a UAV using verbal orders.

He notes that one simulated test saw an AI-enabled drone tasked with a SEAD mission to identify and destroy SAM sites, with the final go/no go given by the human.
However, having been ‘reinforced’ in training that destruction of the SAM was the preferred option, the AI then decided that ‘no-go’ decisions from the human were interfering with its higher mission – killing SAMs – and then attacked the operator in the simulation.
Said Hamilton: “We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat.
The system started realising that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat.
So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”

He went on: “We trained the system – ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’.
So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

¿Que discriminen objetivos? ¿Qué dices loco?, eso siempre una persona, ¿verdad Atticus? Guiño.

Drones + IA, diversion asegurada!

Orel escribió::lol: No mató a su operador, destruyó la torre de comunicaciones con la que le mandaba órdenes, que es distinto. Una decisión lógica que los humanos que le "entrenan" simplemente no habían contemplado. Una vez se enseñe, listo. Y a lo mejor resulta que el operador era un traidor a favor del enemigo y el dron tenía razón :mrgreen:
Es igual que a los pilotos humanos les enseñas (y ordenas) qué pueden y qué no pueden atacar.
