Taranis - unmanned bomber, which taught to "think"

Generally speaking, the topic of weapons try not to touch. Not because the pacifist, but because it is simply not interesting. But here is another matter entirely - the company BAE Systems has created a hi-tech drone (in principle, they are all high-tech), which is not just a weapon. This weapon is “thinking”. By the way, the plane was called Taranis , and it costs only $ 250 million. But is this a sum when it comes to such a miracle?

So, this is not a scout, this is a stealth bomber that can fly very far distances. According to the manufacturer, Taranis can travel from the continent to the continent and back - there will be enough fuel left.

A bomber can safely go, for example, from the United States to North Korea, “bomb” there for something, and go back. At the same time, ground-based radars will not detect it. At least, the vast majority of radar will not cope with it. It is intended mostly for night raids, which further complicates the task of detecting it.



But the most interesting is not the cost of the drone, and not its weaponry. The fact is that Taranis taught to "think." It is difficult to say how much his computing unit can be called “artificial intelligence”, but, according to the same manufacturer, it can work autonomously, without remote control.

Well, in general, Taranis can be controlled from any place on Earth where there is satellite communication. Specialists involved in this project, argue that even if Taranis makes the wrong decision regarding the goal, the remote operator will quickly be able to correct the tasks and the course of the drone.

Here are the developers of this intellectual, they are also the source of the news, which is already gradually diverging on the web.
