aether User ID: 1412926 United Kingdom 01/26/2012 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | well the advertisement sounds good but The crash and burn of drone warfare 25th Jan 2012 As the US's new drone "wonder weapons" are used with increasing frequency, their deficiencies are becoming ever clearer. More than 70 of the multi-million dollar robotic craft have gone down since 2000 due to "catastrophic mishaps". This is just part of a developing record of drone disaster that includes Iraqi insurgents hacking drone video feeds and a virulent computer virus infecting the unmanned fleet Quoting: observation[link to www.atimes.com] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6584231 United States 01/26/2012 11:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Navy's new drone being tested near Chesapeake Bay stretches the boundaries of technology: It's designed to land on the deck of an aircraft carrier, one of aviation's most difficult maneuvers. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 870032 What's even more remarkable is that it will do that not only without a pilot in the cockpit, but without a pilot at all. The X-47B marks a paradigm shift in warfare, one that is likely to have far-reaching consequences. With the drone's ability to be flown autonomously by onboard computers, it could usher in an era when death and destruction can be dealt by machines operating semi-independently. Although humans would program an autonomous drone's flight plan and could override its decisions, the prospect of heavily armed aircraft screaming through the skies without direct human control is unnerving to many. "Lethal actions should have a clear chain of accountability," said Noel Sharkey, a computer scientist and robotics expert. "This is difficult with a robot weapon. The robot cannot be held accountable. So is it the commander who used it? The politician who authorized it? The military's acquisition process? The manufacturer, for faulty equipment?" Sharkey and others believe that autonomous armed robots should force the kind of dialogue that followed the introduction of mustard gas in World War I and the development of atomic weapons in World War II. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the group tasked by the Geneva Conventions to protect victims in armed conflict, is already examining the issue. "The deployment of such systems would reflect … a major qualitative change in the conduct of hostilities," committee President Jakob Kellenberger said at a recent conference. "The capacity to discriminate, as required by [international humanitarian law], will depend entirely on the quality and variety of sensors and programming employed within the system." Weapons specialists in the military and Congress acknowledge that policymakers must deal with these ethical questions long before these lethal autonomous drones go into active service, which may be a decade or more away."
