War of robots
From 2007 to 2013, the United States will allocate $ 8.5 billion for the creation and improvement of robots for combat operations. In Iraq, 365 units of robots of 32 types of appointments were used. But apparently this is only the beginning and other countries also do not sit still and create their own robots for war. It's getting hot and scary ...
He did little research and chose the best robots for war from the USA in three categories: on land, air and under water. Maybe I was mistaken somewhere, I will be glad to hear your opinions and arguments.
Swords (short for Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection Systems) is a special combat surveillance and reconnaissance system.
Created by Foster-Miller TALON Robot. According to the manufacturer, the robot is designed for operations in the city, capable of shedding sand, water and snow (up to 100 feet deep), and also climbing stairs.
')
Controlled by the operator at a distance of up to 1000 meters.
It weighs from 100 pounds (45 kg) to 60 pounds (27 kg).
There are a number of different types of weapons that can be placed on SWORDS; M16 rifle, 5.56 mm SAW M249, 7.62 mm M240 machine gun, Barrett rifle M82 .50, six-barrel 40-mm grenade launcher or four-barreled 66 mm M202A1 FLASH.
Used in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The robot costs approximately $ 60,000 as standard.
AutoCopter is a small machine: two meters long, weight without load 13.6 kg. What does not prevent Americans from calling it “one of the most advanced and innovative unmanned mini-helicopters in the world, and also the“ unquestionably best ”in the price category of up to $ 100,000.
It is also the easiest, the most survivable in the event of an accident, and very “intelligent”, thanks to the “neural network-based flight control algorithms”. The last passage means that the AutoCopter will not allow the "pilot" to do stupid things that could have disastrous consequences.
The helicopter flies forward at a speed of 96.5 km / h, and sideways - 56 km / h. The flight takes place in two modes: fully autonomous and semi-autonomous.
The sea robot TALON (Sea Tactical Littoral Ocean Network) is designed to detect submarines and minefields at a considerable distance from the warships provided. The complex is planned to be used for anti-submarine defense of class LCS (Littoral Combat Ships) ships of the US Navy. LCS class multifunctional ships are designed to patrol maritime boundaries, gather intelligence, trawling mines, hunt for submarines and high-speed boats-intruders. In special cases, these ships are capable of supporting ground operations, including as part of combat groups.
The TALON complex consists of a wide-range towed active hydroacoustic station with a remote antenna, which allows detecting low-noise submarines in various hydroacoustic conditions (coastal noise, under a layer of temperature jump in sea water, etc.). The antenna is towed by a submersible (RMV) (Remote Multi-Mission vehicle), moving at the surface of the water and in communication with the carrier ship. The device is controlled by radio or using a satellite communication system. The control algorithm allows the antenna to be towed at a given speed and to change its immersion depth, thereby ensuring a search for targets under the “temperature jump” layer, which distorts the trajectory of acoustic signals at the boundary of two layers - warm near-surface and cold-depth. The system is equipped with advanced communications equipment to target anti-submarine weapons of ships and helicopters. The device is able to exchange information with several consumers in real time. The simultaneous use of two or more TALON complexes allows you to get a complete picture of the underwater situation over a large area. The complex is transported over long distances and its maintenance is carried out on board the carrier ship.
TALON was created within the framework of the US FORCEnet plan, which implies the integration of all information systems of the US Navy into a single global satellite network for the exchange of tactical information between ships, naval aviation, submarines and ground forces, with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of combat operations in the coastal zone.
