US Marine Corps is testing an early version of Robocop

January 30 The US Marine Corps Combat Center conducted the first Mobile Detection Assessment Response System (MDARS) mobile test at Camp Wilson. This remote-controlled vehicle provides external security and surveillance of the defensive perimeter.

MDARS was originally developed for the US Army, but currently its potential as a defense system for manpower is viewed by the Marine Corps. The Marines are planning to use new equipment as part of their improved system of round-the-clock defense of military air bases.

MDARS has a variety of laser navigation systems, and a radar system to detect the presence of the enemy within the protective perimeter. Color and infrared cameras allow its operators to distinguish between friendly and enemy units.

All MDARS functions are controlled remotely from a computer, or are predefined by the operator for automatic operation.

The preset functions allow MDARS to follow the path the operator has set, move to a given point, or perform full patrols without human intervention.

In addition to the managed and automatic functions, MDARS can go into stealth mode, in which its engine shuts down and the system continuously scans the surrounding area. The batteries of the machine allow up to two hours in this mode, after which the engine must be started to recharge them.

According to the developers, the system can be optimized for the needs of the Marine Corps and is currently being improved. MDARS is currently not used as a permanent component of defensive operations, but the possibilities of its future combat use are being carefully studied.

Today marks exactly 69 years since the ordinary Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev accomplished the incredible and, in fact, became one of the key factors of victory in the Great Patriotic War.

[demon184]

with modern technology, to create such a machine costs nothing.

[engineer74]

The main thing here is not to create, but to find WHO to sell!
We would like to congratulate the American "kulibins" and wish them continued success in the sale of toys at the prices of weapons and military equipment.

It seems to me that the whole secret in the creation of such robots is that, despite the fact that the US Army serves on a contract, there are few adequate fighters from these contractors. Problems all the time, drugs, drunkenness, rape, looting, and so on. It seems that the king is naked.

[Aryan]

Yeah
the choice is not great
or stoned gay at the post
or a robot with dead batteries ...

[RBLip]

this is not robocop this is the terminator

[sinukvl]

The addiction of the United States to robotize and computerize everything for themselves will not end in good. Any failure in the control system of these toys and they can turn against their owners.

[me]

us addicted to robotics because they have ideas, money and brains for this. Sooner or later, Russia will come to robotics, as well as to legalization of same-sex marriages, just as usual with a delay of about 15 years.

[scientist]

Really. And who needs to penetrate them will provide this failure.
And the truth is that the concept itself is alarming, it is one thing when such vehicles conduct simple security, another is its analogue on a tank or attack helicopter for reconnaissance in combat without a crew.

[PDM80]

So they kind of already tested their autonomous robot. So what went wrong there and he began to shoot in his. even hit someone.

[me]

"So they are like", "there is something", "hit someone" - more specifics, do not engage in idle talk.

[PDM80]

The crawler robot from the company HDT Robotics can accurately shoot a machine gun at a target located up to 150 meters from it.
During the demonstration, just in case, the machine gun was secured with chains to completely exclude the possibility of an accident, Vesti.Ru was informed

Such a defender is good in which you need to tie a machine gun with chains.

[PDM80]

Here's another. Americans widely use combat robots in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2007, the US Army used about 5 robots in combat. Basically, these are Talon Swords robots. They can be equipped with manipulators for mine clearance, machine guns or machine guns for firing. Robots of this type are remotely controlled by humans. However, the US military has repeatedly reported cases where the robot for some time went out of control and did not act according to commands. And although it didn’t come to self-mutilation and homicide, nevertheless the robots were not recognized as reliable enough and should soon be replaced with new ones.
In 2007, in South Africa, during a test, a robotic air defense system got out of control and began to shoot at people. The robot shot dead 9 people and wounded 14 before exhausting all its ammunition - 500 half-kilogram shells.
Civilians and those are naughty.
In July 2007, at a factory in Balst, in Stockholm, a worker tried to perform maintenance on an idle machine, which was mainly used to lift heavy stones. The worker thought he had unplugged the machine and walked calmly to the robot. But he suddenly activated and grabbed the victim by the head. The worker received serious damage.
On December 19, 2008, the Japanese Shape-up Roller 2 foot massager killed a woman, then two more. The Japanese woman, the owner of the massager, removed the protective cover from him and the beads that hung on her neck got into the spinning rollers of the device. The woman died of suffocation. A few days later, two more Japanese died while using Shape-up Roller 2. The details of their deaths are unknown.

[Sergey_K]

Have you seen enough on RenTV?

[PDM80]

What about Ren TV ?! In the forehead of the search engine, the query make the mind of any interesting come out, not connected with this channel.

[me]

In cars, too, sometimes the brakes fail (like some members of the forum), but no one suggests abandoning them. You would be better off marveling at the achievements of overseas engineers, but as usual, it comes down to banal, envious whining.

[PDM80]

Yes, the point is not about howling something. The idea was originally humane to remove a person from the battlefield, and ideally, let the cars fight. But there are two circumstances, the first is that these robots can turn from defenders to killers, and if the brakes fail in the car (and this is an extremely rare case, except for trucks), then a person can take measures to minimize losses if the battle with the robot will happen, then it will maximize losses. But this is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that human life is completely worthless, because people will no longer perceive all the horrors of war personally. Look at the network a lot of videos as helicopter pilots shoot people perceiving it not even as a murder but as an exciting computer game, that's what I mean

What's the problem? I recently found out here that 30 years ago I designed and manufactured "unobtrusive tactical UAVs" (in childhood, in an aircraft model)
The main thing is proper PR and marketing!

This is quite interesting, instead of stationary systems, mobile security systems.

And then they cost 20 rubles. And now they called the UAV and they cost 20000 dollars inflation, however.

[colonel manuch]

This is bad, because it is real and more terrible than the famous battle lasers.

[I am]

skynet - also scary ????? yes nefiga !!! And the head is started ???? Well rides, well guards, well, probably they will teach to shoot. This crap can’t only think. In ancient times, people wanted to eat and caught mammoths, and so the mammoths were big, ran fast, looked in all directions, and they probably knew how to think, etc., but they were caught by people, and not vice versa. hence the conclusion that robots are playful and it makes no sense to compete with people. The machine shown in the pictures is incapacitated due to the use of microwave radiation (well, the dofig of an unscreened one sticks out) with a barrel of water dug by a hole with a bunch of g *** and inside, with a large log falling from above, rising from below etc. in general, if that is not applicable against us, in general, the truth is all the same, this crap can become a problem if it is stuffed with si4 and rammed somewhere .... but for this the aforementioned eye is wonderfully suitable))))

[Yves762]

The cost of even serial production of these in Wunderwafel will make the parties think once more before starting to shoot.

[smart ass]

Something tells me that 1 dirty, bearded Taliban with ak-47 30 years ago, can easily disable this thing. By random shooting by piling high-precision equipment on jeeps from above.

[engineer74]

... can easily disable this thing. By random shooting

He cannot, he will never know about its existence!
Such "devices" are created with one purpose - to convince the world (primarily allies) of the overwhelming American military-technological superiority and economic power (they can throw mega money on all sorts of crap). And this crawler, most likely, will roll along the fence of some military base along a concrete path, under the supervision of a team of technicians from the manufacturer, somewhere in Hawaii.
IMHO

[ReifA]

These are test samples. It is reasonable to consider that in real use this case will be covered by armor. Although I think only bulletproof.

[viktor_ui]

Clever man and engineer74 - I will answer both of you at once your Taliban will throw back his hooves at the very same hour and he will not have time to raise his high-tech Kalash ... and let this "robocop" guard a flat perimeter - after all, it was clearly not created for mountains especially since there are completely different platforms for this. Yes, and finally, his Taliban and not the Taliban with a club, in principle, can dunk the might and therefore we don’t need entitechnology in the market, let fools from all over the world spend loot and resources, and we will continue to laugh at all these robotic robots

[engineer74]

Where did I laugh at the robots? And where do you see the robot here? It will become a robot when it "learns" to independently respond appropriately to a rapidly changing environment.
I will explain (very rudely):
1. A ball flies into the protected area, a child comes for it. Actions of "gRobokop": Helps the child to find the ball (from a safe distance), says hello to the parents, patrols further.
2. A bearded Taliban with an AK-47 climbs into the protected area. Actions of the "gRobokop": Attempts to detain, destroys if resisted, draws up and sends a report to the management.
3. An unfriendly tank battalion wanders into the protected area. Actions of "gRobokop": Raise the alarm, stall and continue observation or quickly dump.
And all this should be without the participation of the operator. This "device" is, roughly speaking, movable with video cameras, sometimes with software control.

[smart ass]

And also a bearded Taliban can throw a ball, distract "ROBOCOPE", attack from behind and take this device prisoner)))

[KG_patriot_last]

The body does not matter if the brain is dead. It makes no sense to create a perfect body without triggering artificial intelligence.
It is not necessary to create a human brain - a wolf (dog) can determine what is in a person’s hands, preempt the victim’s trajectory, sense the moment of attack, attack together with other individuals, retreat to a safe distance if necessary, commit suicide if necessary (puppies ) and, if necessary, distinguish a dangerous alien from his own (dog). Moreover, he needs only basic principles of communication, does not need complex human morality / knowledge, does not need anything - only basic principles by which he determines that he is a hedgehog, and this is a buffalo, and this is a stone, and this is his soldier.

Well, or shove the human brain into this miracle of technology and try to bring interfaces. Just get a bunch of iron that philosophizes, instead of beating (an example of a robocop).

[dmitrij.blyuz]

"Operator controlled" And if he hangs over from a hangover or from overwhelming, sleepless, at the remote control? To the children to the children's ploshchak, that's it!

[engineer74]

Absolutely right! Please note that falling asleep in a soft chair in front of the monitor is much easier than in a sheepskin coat in the cold!

[darksoul]

oh and they came across shit ... soulless, it’s hard for us to keep up with them, we have to work around ways to develop electronic warfare with their expensive toys

[PDM80]

At the same time, so that the equipment would not be stupidly incapacitated, go to our side. Then, in general, beauty, how much you can save.

[vvvvv]

Curious, how do such "electronics" relate to electronic magnetic bombs, interference or a small nuclear explosion?! ... If this whole economy goes out of order, then ... Then a man with a pitchfork on such a battlefield will be more effective, since even after irradiation with radiation, he may die soon, but he will have time to beat a lot of enemies.

Military electronics, as a rule, is designed taking into account various kinds of electromagnetic influences, so that it will effectively lift a guy with a pitchfork onto shiny, nickel-plated horns :-)

[vvvvv]

The more complex the system, the less reliable it is in itself and is more expensive. As a result, the means of destruction of such systems can be significantly cheaper if such competition is struck by striking and protective means. There is no 100% guarantee that the enemy in secret has the means to intercept control, because this takes place in real life in the case of UAVs, right ?! The United States is betting on robotic unmanned systems and it is quite shining for them to end up in a deplorable situation ...
It is not difficult to notice that in the Soviet army there was a tendency to use the simplest systems — wire, mechanical, etc.
After all, you can take any example - even from the same operating systems, vulnerabilities of which are found thousands and each of them allows you to take control ...
And yet ... You can bomb a couple of leading manufacturers of electronics and that's it ... Then you can’t quickly raise such a production ... But it’s easier to make forks ...

oh come on. computers is a panacea or how ??? For more than 20 years, Soviet equipment has been working wonderfully with a minimum of maintenance, and all these toys are computer hours, two hours of maintenance. Fresh example in Saratov. air temperature -28 degrees. Only domestic cars were started that stood the night on the street, all the imported cars ... with computers, squeaked, sometimes they turned the starter, but refused to go. Output ??? If it were during the war, who would have won this particular time ????

[tundra]

But I can’t calm down with the Jews. There was such a Lithuanian division. But there were no Lithuanians there, there were tiam JEWS ... One of the most combat-ready divisions .... OH HOW THE Germans were afraid of it ... well, I’ll keep silent about the razedka .... And I WILL SAY ABOUT THE TANKS .... our team will pass ... so that the grass does not grow for three years .... and these are all Jews ... our people, even though I am a Cossack .. these were real ... and now like Shenderovich ... yes the real ones despise him too ...
