Robots to Fight Future Wars
Abstractly speaking the new unmanned vehicle robotic technologies, both UGVs and UAVs currently under development will change the future of warfare. Today there are discussions on the ethical implications of this changing paradigm along with the new strategies, surveillance tactics and future innovation that will be implemented. Being considered also are the political and media related issues.
The game of hide and seek, electronic attack and robots VS humans and/or robots VS robots are projected into the future in these dialogues as military men, philosophers and diplomats alike contemplate the realities on the road. The future cometh in the modern battlespace - those participating must: Adapt or Die.
What Types of robotic systems are we talking about? Well when we discuss robots in warfare, we are talking about Unmanned Vehicles, that is to say unmanned ground and aerial vehicles. Perhaps you have heard about these, they go by names such as: UAV, UCAV, UGV, UUV and they are controlled either by telerobotics, or autonomously. These robots are the future of warfare.
The United States Military is not alone in such tools of war. Robots in human conflict are at home in many nations military. Countries like India, Russia, China, Iran, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Israel and Australia all have UAV programs.
Of course so does Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Syria and many of the other International Terrorist groups. Luckily those who plot against us and free peoples of the world do not have the sophistication that our systems do, but nevertheless, they do have access to these tools of war.
