A completely autonomous drones will soon appear on the battlefield: why you need to be afraid of the Russian Federation and China

The drone also received special software that enables him to make real -time decisions during combat missions. Many UAVs can already move and track moving goals autonomously, but the head of Stark Philip Lockwood, says that the next generation that does not need a person's team to choose and damage goals is not behind the mountains of the next generation.

The EU urges to prohibit fully autonomous weapons, since there is no legislation governing its application, and the reconciliation of an international treaty under the UN is slowly moving. Philip Lokwood, who previously headed the NATO innovation department, warned that other countries, such as Russia and China, would not be hesitant to use such deadly weapons. In addition, Stark has developed controls to ensure that a person will monitor any machine decision.

"At this stage, we are not ready to weaken these controls," he said. At the same time, in the war in Ukraine, many systems already use autonomous navigation and software based on artificial intelligence to lay their own routes, counteract the glushing and track moving goals. Against the background of this, many companies invest a lot in drone technologies, and developers promise high accuracy and impact power at a price much lower than rockets and tanks.

Manufacturers of more traditional weapons refute the statements that drones worth from several thousand to hundreds of thousands of euros will be able to replace more expensive equipment and save budget. "Drones do not change the rules of the game. Current discussion implies that drones can win the war alone - it is definitely not so," said Armin Papperger, CEO of RheinMetall Ammunition, CEO, CEO Papperger, CEO.
