Shield AI successfully coordinated three Lockheed-Martin 3V-BAT drones as a team.

  Shield AI successfully coordinated three Lockheed-Martin 3V-BAT drones as a team. 


This kind of experiment might not seem very impressive. The fact is this: the ability to control ultimate situations requires full cooperation between manned and unmanned systems in and over operational areas. The new systems require new tactics and countertactics. Drones have shown their capacities in the Ukraine war. 

And especially, cheap cardboard drones are the tool that requires new types of counteractions. Those drones are hard to detect, and they can be loaded onto vans or even garbage trucks. Then the patrol can slip to the strike distance from the airbase. 

Cardboard drones are cheap next-generation tools. They predict the next-generation military thinking. There are two routes in military systems. The first route is expensive manned systems. Those systems use quantum stealth and sophisticated systems.

They are flying with high supersonic or hypersonic speed if they are aircraft. The other routes are cheap and more limited drones whose mission is to search targets for those manned systems. Some drones have only one sensor like an IR camera and they can be used to find targets for ground attack aircraft. 

In future tactics, the ground attack aircraft wait for their target position behind their air defense. And then they strike at very high speed. Modern air defense causes situations in which ground attack aircraft cannot patrol near enemy lines as before. So the drones can search for targets for them. Same way drones can take off air defense missiles and pull missile fire against them. 

Commanders can use cheap and simple systems such as decoys. And one mission of those decoy drones is to protect the manned systems. Those decoy drones force the enemy to shoot them. And as attacks against power plants are shown none of those drones can let to fly to their targets. That can be used as mass swarms. They can fly above operational areas and send information to their commanders. And when their fuel ends, the drone can make a kamikaze attack against Target. Or make deep penetration strikes. The 3D printer systems can make those drones even from recycled materials. 

The AI can control those systems and it improves its survivability. The AI is a game changer in both offensive and defensive systems. The AI itself is cheap. The only thing that is needed is the program code. Then the system can download the AI to all systems. The AI can make even the cheapest drones effective and destructive weapons.

The new bendable sensor is like straight from the SciFi movies.

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in imaging, wearable technology, and soft robotics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Reality: Scientists Develop Unbreakable, Bendable Optical Sensor) The new sensor is like the net eye of bugs. But it's more accurate than any natural net eye. The system is based on flexible polymer film and nanotubes. The nanotubes let light travel through it. And then the film at the bottom of those tubes transforms that light into the image. This ultra-accurate CCD camera can see ultimate details in advanced materials. The new system can see the smallest deviation in the materials.  And that thing makes it possible to improve safety on those layers. The ability to see ultra-small differences on surf

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems.  When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Humans should be at the center of AI development.

"Experts advocate for human-centered AI, urging the design of technology that supports and enriches human life, rather than forcing humans to adapt to it. A new book featuring fifty experts from over twelve countries and disciplines explores practical ways to implement human-centered AI, addressing risks and proposing solutions across various contexts." (ScitechDaily, 50 Global Experts Warn: We Must Stop Technology-Driven AI) The AI is the ultimate tool for handling things that behave is predictable. Things like planets' orbiting and other mechanical things that follow certain natural laws are easy things for the AI. The AI might feel human, it can have a certain accent. And that thing is not very hard to program.  It just requires the accent wordbook, and then AI can transform grammatically following text into text with a certain accent. Then the AI drives that data to the speech synthesizer. The accent mode follows the same rules as language translation programs. The ac
