UN report: For the first time in history, a combat robot tracked down and eliminated a fighter without an operator's command

118

According to the report of the UN Security Council expert group on Libya, for the first time in stories the combat robot independently tracked down and destroyed a person on its own initiative and without the participation of the operator. It was a Turkish drone quadrocopter KARGU-2, which killed a soldier of the Libyan National Army last spring. This happened during the fighting between the government forces of Libya and the troops subordinate to Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar.

This is reported by The New Scientist.



It is a lethal autonomous weapon system programmed to attack targets without communication with the operator.

- says the UN report, noting that this unmanned system works on the principle of "fire and forget."

National security consultant Zach Kellenborn, who specializes in unmanned vehicles and systems, is seriously concerned about this case, Insider reports. He fears that by using drones in offline mode (without an operator command), the probability of making fatal errors is very high.

The international charitable organization Human Rights Watch calls such systems "robots-killers" and calls for a ban on their development, production and use for military purposes.

      This is how the revolt of the machines begins

      Such a robot needs refueling with energy, ammunition. So the uprising is far away.
      But it's very close to being used in terrorist attacks.

            What has not been forbidden in the history of wars to be used for military purposes !!! And the invaders-imperialists and their satellites have a load and are still there! Namely.

            Biological weapons have been and are being developed by the same USA in American biological laboratories around the world. Britain does not lag behind the United States either.
            The United States did not destroy chemical weapons either. And not only the United States.
            US nuclear weapons are also spreading all over the world and are being built up in US warehouses in other countries - in the same NATO countries.
            Cluster munitions were banned in the world, but they are still sold by hucksters with weapons and illegally used by Nazi extremist militants.

                    How did you decide that? laughing Switzerland - hosted a wave of Arab refugees. Only for those wishing to live in it, a quota was established - for a stay in paradise, a refugee must pay 1500 euros per month. Of course, those incapable of earning this money and lovers of freebies have merged. And in Zurich, for example, a stateless billionaire has no right to buy himself a real estate.
                    Next - buy a house in Switzerland, buy yourself a natural product - there are a bunch of such stores.

            Terrorists ALREADY use kamikaze drones, and even cheap versions of Strike UAVs.
            Finding a target on your own is just adding a computer and appropriate software to the Impact UAV.
            Actually, it is in the software that the terrorists still lack, they themselves are unlikely to write, but they will simply bring it on a flash drive to whoever needs it.

        This is almost identical to mining, (including cluster munitions) only the mine is advanced and, instead of being buried, is in the air.
        But much more aggressive and flexible.

        Mines are also considered by many to be not humane and "mean".
        But since it is very effective, then everyone who is engaged in serious hostilities or can potentially lead them does not care. It will be the same with "killer robots" who can afford to use them.

        Moreover, there are advantages over mines. On a mine, if there is no self-liquidator with a timer, it will wait to kill a civilian for many years after the end of the OBD. And here the battery is dead and the device is neutralized, at most a day or a week (If there is an option, land and wait).

          Not a fact at all. Moreover, mining systems based on airborne drones are much more promising than just airborne vehicles. One sapper with a 40-ton truck and a laptop can immediately mine hectares of territory in 20 minutes: the mines will fly out and set themselves underground, on trees, on the ground, along roads and paths.

      Simple - the attack zone is established, where the device identifies the target and hits it. Even the drones from Alishka can do that - for launching a device (for example, a radar cartographer) or for the necessary filming, where the drone does not work itself out.

      The Americans have similar loitering ammunition, during tests they autonomously built the required approach pattern and hit the pickup at a speed of 65 mph.

      Actually, in general, this is already possible. While on clearly contrasting targets or kill them all. In the near future (3-5 years), onboard neural networks will select objects on the ground, check them against the loaded library, determine and select priority targets for an autonomous attack.

      I mean that electronic warfare is not very effective even now, outside of Zvezda's commercials, and in the future it will stop working on UAVs altogether.

    If an attentive watches the videos of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense from the Karabakh war, then one can see that half of the strikes were from the hag. Trucks, UAZs, manpower penetrated into dugouts, trenches, unarmored vehicles, even several times they hit the OSA air defense system with these drones, an explosion was probably enough to disable it. Yes, and it was difficult for the soldiers to hide from the Karg, they fled to the fortified dugouts - and the Karg followed them through the door or window and boom.
    In theory, several of these can be dropped from a UAV. Dozens of them can be made from a large UAV.

    This photo was taken in Karabakh. During unpacking of freshly delivered Kargu.

      This requires an experienced operator.

      I suppose you exaggerated about half of the blows: you can estimate by the power of the explosions,
      that most of the precision strikes were carried out by gliding bombs from drones
      or the "aircraft type" kamikaze drones themselves.

    Here another problem emerges: how to distinguish an autonomous drone attack from a remotely piloted drone attack? Suppose an autonomous one attacks everyone who has not responded to the "friend or foe" radio request, what prevents from raising the same one, but under control, and making an attack? As a provocation, for example.

    Such systems are outright meanness and violation of modern "laws of war",

    The issue of personal responsibility matters. The command must be given by a person.
    Although, of course, it looks like mining. Launched, and the robot itself determines the victim. As with a mine: set and left, and who was blown up - these are his problems.

    As I understand it, either:
    1. One point with a radius (guaranteed detection - 30-50-70-100m), along which the UAV maneuvers in the form of a "360 flyby" "one point" - and any movement within this radius, detected by cameras, like a man - there is fire to defeat.
    2. Several points along which the route of patrolling and flying around the points is formed, and also according to the guaranteed detection range - 30-50-70-100m when flying along the route - there is fire to kill.

    As far as I still think, the Turks were not the first.
    The first automatic systems were built by Samsung and placed on the border with North Korea.
    And although it is written everywhere that without human confirmation, there will be no shooting.
    But ...
    The SGR-1 apparatus itself searches for targets, selects them itself, aims the machine gun itself, shoots itself, analyzes the result itself.
    A person just gives the go-ahead to "shoots himself."
    This human involvement can be ruled out simply and naturally.
    And you get automatic control of access zones.
    So we saw fiction from many films like Babylon N.E. - where this very control is carried out by the forces of automated systems without human intervention.

          Take your phone, press the sos button and the operator will contact you. Tell them that you are lost and do not know where you are. They will tell you how to get out or send a helicopter with rescuers. If you lost consciousness and your relatives are looking for you, the Ministry of Emergency Situations will call your phone and determine your location even if there is no cell tower nearby. This is how communication works in Russia, I don’t know through ZhPS or GLONASS. The principle is the same all over the world.

    In fact, such systems are not new. The same Israeli "Harpy" (which is 30 years old), in the mode of hunting for electronic warfare / radar, itself finds radiation sources and attacks them, without operator intervention (it may not exist at all, they set the patrol zone at launch and that's it). It goes without saying that target crews will be injured or killed.
    It is quite possible that this has already happened in Karabakh.
    It's just that earlier such systems had a narrowly targeted application and were not purposefully used against manpower.

    One should be afraid not of badly made drones, but not of tested programmers who stuffed something into these drones, but just idiots not tested
    neither in the sense of the adequacy of behavior, nor in the sense of the skills of practicing difficult
    technical systems. For such programming, you do not need to knock on the keys with a fly with your fingers and show super-skills of super-fast writing programs, but
    be an analyst capable of developing super-complex algorithms. And, most importantly, the development of "raw" programs. And where to find such ??. Long gone,

    In short, if the drone did something very wrong, it means that the programmer is to blame. And such a drone is not at all in the "self-control" mode, but in the non-controllable mode. Well, she doesn’t know how to behave, because she wasn’t told. And it looks like a hammer in the hands of an amateur. Comp is just a tool. The simplest drone program is to fly and shoot anything that moves. This is how inept people dream and do it.
    Because this is the simplest program. And they blame screwdrivers and chisels.

    the problem is not progress and the capabilities of drones ...
    but as usual, ethical is not ethical. The future is as usual .. It is vague.
    New weapons always have ethical issues, and the future has always looked bleak.
    And here the difference is in the programs. A person with ethics always has problems. It is necessary here and now to kill another person in the framework of a war or conflict. All the participants in this process do not care about future problems; they have a problem here and now. And there, in the future, such progress can lead to problems much more serious.
    Mechanisms have been killing people for a long time. With a conveyor ... because a person himself can rather mow others in batches.
    Only forms and types change.
    Then we will not be evolutionarily replaced as a weak link in decision-making (take a long time and even get in the way of emotions)?

    Conceptually, Kargu-2 is a relatively insignificant strike UAV by modern standards. It was developed by the Turkish company Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret AŞ. The device began to be produced in 2019. The drone weighs 15 kilograms, it is able to stay in the air for up to 30 minutes.
    Kargu-2 can use a fragmentation warhead to destroy enemy personnel, as well as unarmored targets. Lightly armored targets can be attacked with a cumulative warhead. A thermobaric warhead is provided to destroy targets in a confined space.
    Experts believe that the low price and rather wide (for a device of this class) capabilities provide a good potential for the export of UAVs. Potential buyers include the countries of the Middle East.
