US Navy verwendet KI, um Laserwaffen gegen Drohnen zu trainieren | Die US -Marine trägt dazu bei, die Notwendigkeit eines menschlichen Bedieners zu beseitigen, Drohnenschwarmangriffe zu begegnen.

„The team trained an AI system using a miniature model of a Reaper drone, 3D printed out of titanium alloy. The image catalogs produced two datasets of 100,000 images that were used to train an AI system so that it could identify the drone, confirm its angle relative to the observer, seek out the weak spot, and fix the beam on that spot.

Human operators still have a chance of succeeding against a single drone, but swarms of the things are another matter. True, a laser can flick from one target to the next in a fraction of a second, but identifying a weak spot and fixing the beam on it is another matter entirely. In a combat situation, a human operator would be quickly overwhelmed. As lasers advance to handle hypersonic missiles, the problem gets even worse.“
