It’s about time military advances to a new era.
But this concept has me confused.
Definition: having autonomy; NOT subject to control from outside; independent:
This is to fly along with existing platforms - it says, so, does that mean that others will have INFLIGHT control over this?
Please explain if I have it wrong.
Thanks
Autonomous in the sense that “These drones don’t fly with a pilot remotely at the controls in a traditional sense, like say an MQ-9 Reaper drone. They will be directed in more of a point-and-click desktop or screen-top style interface. With the help of AI, they can automate much of this process, leaving their human overlords to concentrate on the big tactical picture instead of on constant small navigation and tactical tasks.”
It’s an interesting idea; but what’s the fail-safe if the leader get’s shot down?
