ASYMMETRIC DIALOGUE

Russia is expected use Wednesday’s annual Victory Day parade – commemorating the allied victory against the Nazis in World War Two – to display its latest firepower. The remote-controlled Uran-9 – with 30mm cannon and antitank guided missiles – will take its first bow in front of Putin and his Kremlin cronies. And the country's military leaders admit the robots – like the incredible FEDOR gunslinger – are now ready to take to the battlefield. Defence minister Sergei Shoigu’s has already pledged to fast-track the automation of the Kremlin’s growing military machine. Asked if the soldier’s role would change in future with hostilities conducted with robots, he said: "Why near future? This is already a reality and being realised quite energetically.” Here are the pick of Putin's new unmanned war machines… The Nerekhta The remote-controlled Nerekhta – already on active duty- is a modular vehicle based on a small tracked tank-style chassi...

Askeri operasyonlar için örümcek robot geliştirdiler

Kocaeli'de üniversite öğrencileri, zorlu arazi şartlarında gerçekleştirilen askeri operasyonlarda kullanılabilecek 6 bacaklı örümcek robot geliştirdi. Kocaeli Üniversitesi (KOÜ) Mekatronik Mühendisliği Bölümü öğrencileri Yiğitcan Öztürk, İsmet Hüsrev Akay, Berkay Mengüş ve Kubilay Özyalçın, Prof. Dr. Zafer Bingül'ün danışmanlığıyla bitirme projeleri kapsamındarobotik sistemler üzerine çalışma yürüttü. Proje sonunda, askeri alanda kullanılabilecek örümcek robot sistem tasarımı ve modellemesi gerçekleştirildi. Zorlu arazi şartlarına göre tasarlanan robot, 26 farklı eklemi değişik konumlarda hareket ettirebiliyor. Yerli olarak tasarlanıp geliştirilen robot, aşağı ve yukarı eksenli hareketlerde gövdesini sabit tutabilmesi ve gerektiğinde özelleştirilmiş iki bacağını kol olarak kullanabilmesi özellikleriyle literatürdeki "ilk" örneklerden biri oldu. Arazi testlerini başarıyla tamamlayan robot, üzerine entegre edilebilecek silah sistemleriyle askeri operasyonlarda görev icr...

As AI Begins to Reshape Defense, Here’s How Europe Can Keep Up

metamorworks AA Font size + Print Change comes hard in much of Europe , particularly in the defense community. But no less than in the United States, European nations are wrestling with the implications of machine learning and artificial intelligence — in the military as well as civilian society. During several trips to Europe in the last six months, we have noted a significant uptick in the number of NATO political and military leaders discussing AI ’s impact on the alliance’s military capability. There seems to be a two-speed discussion going on. European defense industry officials we talked to had no qualms about harnessing AI to reduce manufacturing costs and improve customer satisfaction. But governments and institutions like NATO and the EU were having a harder time. Will AI ’s impact on society — say, in data privacy — be feared and, hence, regulated? Can it be “purchased” for national defense or domestic use, ...
