    "GPS will be degraded...satellites destroyed" Stay around long enough and what was old is new again. I recall hearing US doctrine expected all satellites to be out of commission in first 20 minutes of conflict with Soviets. That is why first cruise missiles used radar maps.

    • @richardkudrna7503

      I understand that the current trend is to use simple inertial nav with periodic drift correction via image recognition (of landmarks). The image can be collected passively with optical or thermal camera, or with radar.
      To avoid hitting the ground when doing LO mission ground proximity radar is pulsed when over areas least likely to have radar detection available. So all this can be put together for say $2000 and 1 lb weight.
      The most urgent thing now are drone killing drones. And other drone counter measures.

      Now that Cube Satellites exists.
      Most satellites are cheap, numerous, and form massive constellations
      The only way to get them all is a Call of Duty MW2 nuke in the Ionosphere. If that happens then we have bigger problems than no GPS 😂
      Hacking satellites are a thing of the past due to encryption happening on the FPGAs on the satellites. Ignoring quantum computers brute forcing the asymmetric key.
      You can only jam so many satellites because you need a ground station with a direct radar sight to the satellite.
      China is only on one half of the world, so any repairs to the software and downlinking of intelligence data can occur almost anywhere
      Plus we have New Zealand, England, and all of Western Europe’s ground stations to use.
      Plus SpaceX like launches 100s of satellites every month, so it would be relatively easier to replace during a wartime economy

      I dont think it will work ... if the AI is only use for terrain tracking(imagine painting the mountain or charge the significant terrain features) and data transimission compression than target identification ... so think about this right now 5.8GHz tranmit about 50M-Bit D-log data from DJI ... if I can use AI to compress this data even more like 5M using some transformer network, then the frequency hopping channel on 5.8GHz increase from 8 channels to more than 80 channels ... or I can even use 580MHz instead of 5.8GHz to transmit 1080p-100fps data. So the broadband means I can fit as many signal channel as I want between 580MHz-5.8GHz
      And I can see the laser gyro popping up from your backyard as Chinese auto companies are very agressive in researching and starting to adopt the laser gyro (very similar to F16) as standard to monitor the dynamics of the car for autodriving. With laser gyro or fiber-optics ones you can expect miles+long duration accuracy and very low drift: aka they dont really need much of updating the location
      So dont worry ... they are already thinking about to defeat your idea of camo.

    Now I'm just a Data Science student, who is more focused on the math behind AI than implementation, but I would humbly like to expand why having a model is beneficial, all the photos from the database have another thing in common, they are the center of attention in a war it is verly likely we wouldn't want our tools out in the open, additionally the ideas of lighting come into play, and also having drones that you are training taking the data is far better than the intermediary of a camera.

    I remember a while back there was a training exercise where an AI drone turret was pitted against US marines; the AI was trained to target things that looked like soldiers, of course. What the Marines did was use pieces of cardboard to screw with their silhouettes, and move in weird ways, to confuse the AI into thinking they were trees.
    Imagine if Patriot missile batteries defeated AI loitering munition drones by strapping pieces of wood and painting the equipment with strange camouflage patterns...

Not to mention a handful of other SHORAD systems proven to be effective and in use by allies. The US military is already planning a response by developing a system to integrate ALL of it's Air Defense systems in an area to marry the best sensor to the best shot.

    If their AI tech is using a form of image recognition, then it would be worth making a lot of cheap fake Patriot battery decoys and cheap disguises for the actual batteries, and make the most decoys for the most expensive part of the system.

    • @user-ui8jt6cx2k

      Because you think that and image sensor is bound to the domain of visible light - which is not the case as well as there are high quallity sensors at hand right now that will tell you the difference, however the current advantage is that the computing power is not available/energy efficient - except for the human brain.

  • @jjnix9517
    @jjnix9517 Месяц назад

    The whole thing is for Saturation attacks, overwhelm air defenses by simply sending more than can be shot down by air defenses. We have a similar plan by putting missles on and or in everything and firing them from a safe distance (rapid raptor/dragon).

    • @ericepperson8409
      @ericepperson8409 29 дней назад

      The difference is that the US/West is actually quite ahead in sensors and computational ability. It would take a lot more platforms from Russia or China to overwhelm their enemies than the opposite from the US.

  • @RonLWilson
    @RonLWilson 3 часа назад

    Perhaps it might be good to make it so that one can add air bags that can be inflated to Patriot batteries and such would then significantly alter the apparent dimensions of the vehicle as seen form a UAV to make it harder for the AI to ID them.
    Also, in regard to IR imagery it might be good just to add water sprinklers (like one might use to water the grass) to cool down parts of a vehicle so it might instead look like two or more smaller vehicles.

  • @JBoy340a

  • @ReddoFreddo
    @ReddoFreddo Месяц назад +1

    I have a question about the medic drones. Why have a "push" system (forgive me if I'm misusing terminology) where you send out drones that look for wounded soldiers, instead of a "pull" system, where wounded soldiers or their buddies press an emergency button, that sends out their coordinates to the nearest medic drone, which flies automatically to the location, possibly with customized instructions and equipment depending on the wounded soldier's needs?

    • @user-ui8jt6cx2k
      @user-ui8jt6cx2k Месяц назад

      1.) the useful signal gets jammed
      2.) your useful signal gets tracked by the enemy which knows exactly where to shoot - and hit "Jackpot" (because when there is a wounded comrade there are more in the near area = one strike -> multiple kills = Jackpot) - however even sending a drone is a risk - as we have seen in Ukraine where a drone was picked up and the person was traced to his hideout and a that was attacked.
      3.) All armies have field kits with everything they need to treat - except for "blood" which needs to be cooled - this is the essential part

  • @hlsls5634

  • @davocc2405

    @RyanMcBethProgramming - if the AI is configured to visually determine what various Patriot battery elements look like, if you draped, say, cammo netting over it to change its outline and make it visually different and also put up something to confuse its thermal outline... do you think this would foil Chinese drones and targeting systems? Or perhaps a nice big red star on the side to make it look like one of their toys to the AI? I'm not sure how sophisticated it will be (especially given the potentially disposable computational power required to run this in the air).

    Imagine if they were just making a prop for an action movie but we get provoked by it anyway 😂
    The replica Soviet T-72 tank for Red Dawn (1982) was so precise that when it was transported to the studio, two CIA agents followed and wanted to know where it had come from. The plot, a Soviet/Cuban invasion from Mexico, was based on CIA and War College studies of US weaknesses at the time.
    At one point Darryl F. Zanuck used real soldiers as extras for his 1962 ww2 epic “The Longest Day” and thus was briefly in command of the largest armed force in europe at the time.
