The ships, military, and artificial intelligence
US NAVY has turned to use robot ships against the submarines(1), and that kind of system is the most lethal thing in history. The ships are very good platforms for sophisticated artificial intelligence because of the power supply and space for the high-power computers.
If we want to turn the submarine or surface warship to the full-scale robot, we have the technology for making that kind of solution. The fact is that artificial intelligence is one thing that makes the military machine more effective but it would just decrease the will to solve conflicts by using force. The fact is that artificial intelligence is only one part of the new type of weapons.
There are electromagnetic weapons that are terminating the computers, but what mission is to leave men untouchable. But the fact is that both systems manned and unmanned must develop together. If the unmanned systems are untouchable they can be more dangerous than anything before them. But if the systems would be damaged that thing means that there must find the human operators.
The explosives and ammunition are still in one of the primary things on the battlefield, but the aiming systems of them use computers and artificial intelligence. If the aiming and guidance systems of those weapons cannot operate properly the ammunition is useless. The key element in smart weapons is that the weapon knows where the target is, and if it would not know that the strike does not affect targets. One way to make those weapons useless is just destroying the programs of the microchips, which is used to aim those things.
If the identities of the users of the high-tech weapons leaked to the Internet, that thing causes that the assassination units of the enemy can target them. Those Anti-VIP-units are extremely dangerous, but they need targets where those commandos will attack. That is one part of the predicting thing in the sneak attack. In that scenario, a large number of officers are executed by enemy special attack teams, like the "Vympel ("V") team"(2) of the Russian intelligence and special operation forces. So that's why cyber defense is an important part of the defense system.
And here I must say that there are no unnecessary parts of the defense. Every part like weapons, weapon aiming and location system, cargo systems, and data handling systems are important. And also things like hackers are causing trouble because they can deliver information, what risks the life of the combat control teams. Or those hackers can remove the codes from the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) systems, which makes it difficult to separate their targets from the enemy.
So when we are thinking about the military systems, they are entirety. Not only one weapon or the part of the weapons is important. If the enemy can affect the weapon or weapon system like aircraft or artillery that thing can cause the fall of the defense. And when we are talking about high-tech weapons there are many ways to harm them. One is to cut the wires in their computers or connect the explosives in them. Another one is just attacking against them by using some cluster bombs or just delete the operating systems from microchips. Or maybe somebody will shoot the canopy in pieces by using a sniper rifle.
