Izikebhe zasolwandle ezizimele zase-US ezikwazi ukugcwala ezindaweni ezihlosiwe

Ihhovisi Lokucwaninga Ngemikhumbi Yasemanzini (ONR) lisemisebenzini yokuhlola izimoto ezinganamuntu ukuze ziziphathe ngokuzimele kanye “nokubhuquza” izinsongo ezingaba khona.

A ividiyo evela ku-ONR igqamisa amanye amakhono wesistimu, okuhlanganisa nomculo ongemuva othusayo. Ubuchwepheshe bokuhlola, obubizwa nge-CARACAS (Control Architecture for Robotic Agent Command and Sensing) bungafakwa kabusha cishe kunoma yisiphi isikebhe. Izikebhe zingenza ngokuzivikela futhi zihlasele njengezinja ezijikelezayo ezigadayo. Bangakwazi futhi ukuhlula umkhumbi onobutha futhi benze izinqumo ngaphandle kokuxhumana okuqondile komuntu.

Njengoba i isitatimende sephephandaba ibalula, lezi zimoto ziyakwazi “ukusebenza ngokuhambisana neminye imikhumbi engenamuntu; ukukhetha izindlela zabo; ukuphithizela ukuvimba imikhumbi yesitha; kanye nokuphelezela/ukuvikela impahla yasolwandle.” Ibuyela emuva ekuqhunyisweni kwebhomu kwe-USS Cole, eyafa kakhulu kunayo yonke kusukela ekuqhunyisweni kwebhomu kwe-USS Stark ngo-1984, le phrojekthi isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe besimanje emzamweni wokunciphisa ukuhlaselwa okuzayo. Uhlelo alubizi kakhulu futhi izikebhe ezigadayo eziqinile ezikwazi ukuphephuka zingafakwa ngezikhali ezihlukahlukene, njengezibhamu eziwuhlobo .50.

Njenge-DARPAS electronic mutt, BigDog, noma uhlelo lwamasosha asolwandle olusanda kwethulwa i-solid state laser weapon system (LaWS), kubonakala sengathi izingcezwana nezingcezu zobuchwepheshe besikhathi esizayo ziyahlangana zibe lokho abanye abakubiza ngokuthi isandulela sento efana ne-Skynet (njengoba idlalwa kakhulu kube). Abaningi bayazibuza ukuthi intuthuko ye-automation ingase ibuyisele emuva.

I-US, okwamanje, ibambe iqhaza ohambweni oluncane, isanda kulwa ne-ISIL kanye ne-Al-Nusra front eSyria (okulindeleke ukuthi isabalale phakathi neminyaka). Yize kube nokucasula okumbalwa okugcwele, ubuchwepheshe base-US budlule kude izitha zabo esimweni sezulu sanamuhla.

Ukuncintisana okuvela kwezinye izizwe, njengeRussia noma iChina, kwenza umshini nemiphumela yawo ibe nzima. Ukuqhubekela phambili, impi yesimanje esikalini esigcwele ingase ihunyushwe njengengqondo. Ngokusebenza okuzenzakalelayo ngokuphelele, kungaveza inqwaba yezinkinga zokuziphatha. Uma imishini yokulwa iziphindaphinda noma izicabangela yona, impi ingaba umdlalo wezibalo wezinombolo.
