MQ-9 Reaper is getting its successor
The defense companies and military forces are researching the best successor for the MQ-9 Reaper-piston engine drone, which is the most used and deadliest of so-called killer-drones. The next-generation drones are more sophisticated, more surviving, and deadly than ever before, and the stealth-kamikaze drones are ready to take the place as the next generation cruise missiles.
The X-49 "Sentinel"-type drones can be equipped with nuclear warheads, and they can be used as the cruise missiles, which can return to the base if those systems are not used. The nuclear bomb can be dropped to the target by using drones or the drone can operate as the missile in that kind of strikes.
The thing is that the MQ-9 is extremely brutal, but sadly its a very effective system, which has many types of missions. MQ-9 can be used against ground and air targets, but the successor of that drone is capable of full-scale air combat. And the case, where artificial intelligence is winning the human pilots is making the development of that kind of drones more supported than ever before.
The thing that is needed is an effect, and war is murder anyway. So people who are working with killer-drones are thinking that those drones are only the missiles, which can destroy multiple targets. And killer-drones that have air combat capacity are only the enhanced cruise missiles.
The robot warriors don't need training at all. The thing that the operators must make is just activating the attack module of those robots. Even if robots are made for some other duties, only chancing the programs is needed to make them the ultimate soldiers. The problem is that robots can have a thing called "ghost protocol". When a robot notices something like a gun, it can activate its combat module. The thing is that the face recognition software recognizes the targeted person that thing activates the termination module.
And if that module is connected to things like robot cars, that could cause that robot car attacks that person. That thing is bringing terrible thoughts in the mind of some people. What if some criminal puts that kind of program to the control system of the computer-controlled cars? Could that thing introduce as the "error in system", when a robot car smashes some witnesses of the criminal activities out from the streets?
When we are talking about things like prohibiting those weapons, we must remember that any military force is not discarding its biggest gun. The killer-drones and robot weapons are under development in the many other states than in the USA. The other countries are at least China, Russia, and some NATO countries. And the thing, what makes robot weapons addictive is that those weapons are always loyal to their commanders.
And that thing is one of the biggest threats in those weapons. They don't know who is giving orders. They just know that the operator has the right key. So that means that the unauthorized use of those drones and robot warriors is possible.
