Created combat flying robot, independently making decisions about the shelling of targets

CyberSecurity.Ru website reports that defense contractor Northrop Grumman presented its latest robotic military development to the military public - the X-47B unmanned Combat Air System unmanned combat aircraft, which the manufacturer called the "most advanced flying robot in the world."



Named three main differences X-47B from other existing drone.

First, the X-47B is able to take off and land not only on the runways of airfields, but also on aircraft carrying cruisers, which is much more difficult.

Secondly, a roboto-aircraft can autonomously dock with a military aircraft carrier in the air and receive fuel independently.

Thirdly, the X-47B has a perfect combat system that allows it to attack not only ground targets, but also air targets — for example, other aircraft.

As weapons, the aircraft can carry large heavy machine guns and a set of air-to-ground and air-to-air cruise missiles .

The same site tells that in this cybernetic plane and another feature that was not named among the main ones, but which turned out to be interesting for the military: the X-47B has an autonomous firing system.

Previously, many drones were equipped with military weapons, but the actual shooting was always carried out at the command of a remote operator through satellite channels, that is, the operator decided when and at whom to shoot.

The new flying combat robot X-47B decides for itself when and at whom it is necessary to open fire or launch a rocket.

It remains only to connect it to Skynet.
